Read full descriptionHide full description
Orbiri Screen works with the Orbiri Parent app to bring families and schools together around shared digital boundaries, helping children learn healthier screen habits - together - and giving childhood more room to breathe. Instead of individual rules, negotiations or bans, Orbiri’s shared boundaries feel normal, fair and easy to understand, because everyone follows the same structure. Benefits: - Simple setup - just opt in to your community’s shared boundaries - Fewer daily screen-time battles and negotiations - More focus in school and calmer routines at home - Healthier long-term digital habits, built gradually - Less pressure on children to “keep up” with friends - More time for play, learning and real-world connection - Request more time if really needed Privacy: Orbiri Screen does not read messages, view content or track individual app activity. It applies time-based boundaries only, as set through the Orbiri Parent app and your community. More information can be found at www.orbiri.com/privacy-policy Important to know: - Orbiri Screen works only with Orbiri Parent. - Orbiri Parent should be installed on the parent device before installing this app on the child’s device. - Orbiri Screen must be installed by a parent or carer. - Orbiri Screen is designed for use on a child’s device. Key features: - Orbiri Spaces Apps and websites are grouped into clear Spaces by purpose, like School, Play, Social Media or Entertainment. - Time-based access Each Space opens and closes at set times of day to support focus, rest and healthy routines. - Daily time limits Time spent in each Space is limited, encouraging balance in a way that feels fair and consistent for children. - School Space During school hours, only learning and essential apps defined by your child’s school remain available, so distractions fade into the background. - Community downtime All Spaces close together during downtime, helping children switch off properly and recharge. - App & website whitelisting Only approved, age-appropriate apps and websites are accessible within each Space. All other content is blocked by default, removing the need to constantly chase after workarounds. - Child-inclusive by design Boundaries are visible and consistent, so expectations feel clear and fair. - Built to grow Boundaries adjust by school year, giving children more independence as they get older. - Always-on essentials Low-risk, high-importance apps stay available at all times.
