Screen time rules your child can't swipe away, and a live map of where they are, right on your own iPhone. Skydo is built on Apple's own Screen Time technology, so iOS itself does the blocking. Not a VPN, not a profile, not an app that can be force-quit. Blocked apps simply don't open. Protection requires Skydo Premium, an auto-renewing subscription with monthly and annual options. One subscription on the parent's phone unlocks the child's phone too. BLOCK APPS AND SOCIAL MEDIA • Block chosen apps, or a whole category like all social media (TikTok, Instagram, Snapchat and more), in one tap. Apps installed later are covered too • Block adult websites in Safari and search, plus any site you add • Daily screen-time limit: when time is up, iOS blocks until tomorrow • Bedtime: every app locks during the hours you choose • School Mode: on school days everything is blocked except the apps you allow, automatically • Homework Mode: apps unlock for a set time once homework is done • Pause all apps for 30 minutes with one tap • Prevent deleting or installing apps, protected by a parent PIN and Face ID CONTROL IT FROM YOUR OWN PHONE Install Skydo on your phone too, choose "Parent's phone" and pair once with an 8-character code. No accounts. Change bedtime, limits and school hours, or pause everything, and your child's phone updates within seconds. Which apps are blocked is chosen on the child's phone. SEE WHERE YOUR CHILD IS • Live location that moves smoothly while they walk, cycle or ride in a car, with their speed and a walking or car icon • Battery level, Locate now and Directions • Places like home and school: get a notification when your child arrives or leaves • Location sharing is switched on, visibly, on the child's phone • End-to-end encrypted between your two phones. Not even we can see it KNOW HOW THE WEEK WENT See how many attempts were blocked, and get a weekly report you can share. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No accounts, no ads, no selling of data. Available in 17 languages, and even the block screen speaks your child's language. SUBSCRIPTION Skydo Premium is an auto-renewing subscription, billed monthly or annually. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. It renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in your App Store account settings. A subscription bought on the parent's phone also covers the paired child's phone. Skydo is for iPhone only and must be installed and set up on your child's iPhone.
