TRUCE Family is a parental controls app that helps kids build healthy phone habits - at school, at home, and behind the wheel. The distracting apps you choose lock automatically while your teen drives, and every trip gets a Drive Score, so you can watch them become a safer driver. It works through iOS Parental Controls: you set the limits, and your kids keep access within them. TRUCE Family applies your rules automatically, by time and place - no daily negotiations, no constant battles. And it is built for trust, not surveillance: it never reads their messages, photos, or browsing history. WHERE IT HELPS - Homework time: allow only the learning apps you choose, by schedule and location - School time: fewer phone distractions during school hours - Quiet time: scheduled breaks from the phone - Driving time: your driving rules apply the moment the car moves, and you decide what stays available, like maps MORE PEACE OF MIND - A Drive Score after every trip, plus trends over time, so you can coach instead of nag - Verified passenger mode: driving limits lift when they are the passenger, not the driver, so the rules always feel fair - Know they made it - updates when they arrive at or leave the places your family chooses - Optional in-car camera adds short video clips to trip review, so you can see what happened, not just the score (camera sold separately; not required for the core parental control features) Start free for 7 days. One subscription covers your whole family. Cancel anytime. *** Continued use of GPS running in the background can decrease battery life.
