Orbiri is a new way to manage screen time - not by banning phones or turning parents into the screen police, but by helping families and schools move together. Instead of fighting daily battles alone, Orbiri lets you adopt shared, community-wide boundaries that make healthy phone use feel normal, fair and sustainable for children. The Orbiri Parent app works with Orbiri Screen (the app for children). Setup takes around five minutes. After that, Orbiri quietly does the hard work in the background. Benefits: - Simple setup - just add your children and opt them into 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 - Approve more time or pause restrictions if really needed Privacy: Orbiri Parent does not read messages, view content or track individual app activity. It only manages time-based boundaries for your children, as agreed by your community. More information can be found at www.orbiri.com/privacy-policy Important to know: - Orbiri Parent works only with Orbiri Screen. - Orbiri Parent should be installed on the parent device before installing Orbiri Screen on the child’s device. - Both Orbiri Parent and Orbiri Screen must be installed by a parent or carer. Key features (of Orbiri Parent and Orbiri Screen working together): My Circle - Set up your whole family and their devices in a simple interface. 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.
