About

Kidper

Kidper helps your family keep a healthier Focus and Break rhythm without turning screen time into a daily argument. Build the plan once, then reuse it. Name your Focus stage plans and switch between them in a tap: a school-night plan, a weekend plan, an exam-week plan. During Focus, only the apps you chose stay available. When the work is done, Break stages open a planned reward instead of an endless scroll. Decide how much protection each situation needs. On a kid's device, require Face ID, Touch ID, or a PIN before anything can be changed. For your own phone, turn protection off and keep the rhythm without the friction. HOW IT WORKS • Create Focus stages and optional Break stages • Choose which apps stay available during Focus • Start a session from the home screen, or let it start on a schedule • Save multiple named plans and switch when your week changes • Approve unlocks from Controls, or hand approval to another organizer COMMON USES • Study routines: keep learning apps available during Focus • Reward routines: use Break time as a planned reward after Focus • Family routines: pair parent and child devices in a Group when supervision is needed • Personal routines: protect your own rules with PIN or biometric verification KEY FEATURES • Named stage plans: build a routine once and reuse it, instead of rebuilding it every week • Focus mode: selected apps remain available while distractions stay out of the way • Break stages: plan recovery time instead of endless screen time • Choose your protection: Face ID, Touch ID, PIN, or no protection for personal use • Stop early when you need to: end a running session right from Controls • Harder to remove: Kidper can block app removal during setup so the routine sticks • Auto Exit Controls: controls close themselves after a set period of inactivity • Group coordination: pair devices with a code for optional organizer approval • Guided setup: build your first rhythm in minutes PRIVACY FIRST Group data syncs only through your private iCloud. No third-party servers, no screenshots, no usage-log collection. Kidper does not monitor content. Crash reports and anonymous usage counts go to Sentry, a third-party error monitoring service, to find and fix problems; they never include names, family IDs, pairing codes, passwords, or the apps you choose to focus on. Kidper uses Apple's Screen Time framework (Family Controls) and requires iOS 16 or later.
