Kinsera

Kinsera helps parents and guardians set screen-time boundaries and routines for apps, categories, and websites. It uses Apple Screen Time controls and shows protection status so families can see which rule is active and when it changes. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Choose apps, categories, and websites with Apple’s system picker. • Apply, pause, and schedule on-device limits with timers and recurring schedules. • Start Child Mode sessions with a guardian-selected app allowlist and timer. • Review local time requests with guardian authentication. • See aggregate activity data when Apple makes it available. • Check authorization, protection, and schedule status. • Use widgets, Siri, and Shortcuts to check or control on-device protection. • Set up safe zones and view optional family observations with their age. • Support family routines with challenges and rewards. Family connection is optional. When enabled, iCloud/CloudKit may sync policy commands and acknowledgements and recent device status; battery and location are optional. Child Mode sends the allowlist as encrypted, opaque Apple Family Controls tokens through the private family share for that device, so the child device can apply the session. Kinsera does not resolve those tokens into app names or bundle IDs, and does not send them to RevenueCat. Kinsera does not sync messages, browsing history, or activity history. Location depends on device permissions, connectivity, and the age of the latest observation; it is not a real-time tracking service. Protection requires Apple Family Controls authorization and depends on iOS capabilities and each device’s settings. Kinsera does not lock the entire device. Family Sharing may be required to set up a child’s device. See the privacy policy for full details.
