Screen time doesn't have to end in a fight. ScreenTimeNext gives that moment a countdown your child can see, a warning before the end, and a screen that asks one question: what are we doing next? Choosing is what closes the screen — so the ending has a destination, not just a stop. HOW IT WORKS 1. You pick what to limit. Apps, categories, or all web browsing — chosen with Apple's own Screen Time picker, so your child's app list never leaves their device. 2. You set the time. Start a session from the dashboard and a countdown begins, with a live timer on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island. 3. A warning arrives before the end. Not a wall — a full-screen message inside the app they are using, telling them how long is left. 4. Your child chooses what's next. Family time, outside, free time, clean up, or a meal. Choosing is what closes the screen, so the ending has somewhere to go. FOR THE PARENT - One dashboard: how much time is left, what your child chose, and a tap to add or take back minutes - Add time when it's earned. Taking minutes back also shortens today's budget, so a longer session doesn't quietly become a longer day - Decide what's next yourself when the day calls for it, instead of asking - Add your own activities — piano, the dog walk, Nana's house - Slide to remove every restriction for the rest of the day — one deliberate gesture, never a stray tap - A parent PIN, with Face ID if you want it PRIVACY ScreenTimeNext uses Apple's Screen Time framework. Your child's app selections are handled by iOS as opaque tokens: the app cannot read which apps they are, and never stores, logs, or transmits them. There are no accounts, no servers, and no analytics. Nothing leaves the device. WHAT YOU NEED - Screen Time permission, granted once by a parent - ScreenTimeNext limits the device it is installed on ScreenTimeNext is not a monitoring tool. It doesn't report where your child goes or what they type. It does one thing: it makes the end of screen time predictable, and gives it somewhere to go.
