ScreenHarmony is more than a simple app blocking tool. It is a family screen time management solution that helps parents create clear, consistent, and practical digital rules for different moments in a child’s day. Set different app limits, protection rules, and website access controls for study time, homework, bedtime, weekends, and more. ScreenHarmony automatically applies the right rules at the right time, helping reduce repeated reminders and everyday conflicts around device use. KEY FEATURES 1. Automatic schedules throughout the day Create rules for different parts of the day, such as school hours, homework time, evenings, and weekends. Each schedule can use its own app limits and protection rules, so screen time management fits real family routines. 2. App limits and reminders Set daily time limits by app or category. For learning apps, you can choose reminders only. For games, short videos, or social apps, you can limit access during specific time periods to help children stay focused. 3. Protection rules Apply different protection strategies at different times. Keep social apps away during school hours, limit games in the evening, and let the rules run automatically without constant manual changes. 4. Website access protection Support for adult content protection, blocked websites, and allowlist mode helps children browse more safely and stay away from inappropriate content. 5. Enhanced Protection Mode Use Family Sharing and Screen Time authorization to enable stronger parental controls and reduce the chance that children can bypass limits by changing settings, switching accounts, or using other common workarounds. 6. More protection settings Limit account-related changes, device passcode changes, Game Center multiplayer, and Game Center friend requests to help parents keep control of important device settings. 7. Privacy first ScreenHarmony uses Apple’s Screen Time technologies to manage app access. Data is kept on the device as much as possible, and we do not collect your personal privacy data, so families can manage screen time with greater peace of mind. WHO IT’S FOR • Parents who want to reduce excessive use of games, short videos, or social apps • Families who need different rules for school, homework, bedtime, and weekends • Parents who want stronger screen time management through Family Sharing • Families who prefer a calmer, more transparent way to build healthy digital habits • People who want basic screen time support for family members who are less familiar with smartphones but tend to overuse them ScreenHarmony is not just about “blocking the phone.” It helps families build clear, stable, and practical digital routines. By agreeing on schedules and limits in advance, children can better understand when it is time to study and when it is okay to relax, while parents can reduce repeated reminders and daily friction. SUBSCRIPTION INFORMATION ScreenHarmony Pro offers monthly and quarterly subscription options. A subscription unlocks more complete schedule management, app limits, protection rules, website protection, and advanced protection features. Payment will be charged to your Apple ID account. Your subscription automatically renews unless auto-renewal is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.

ScreenKin - Parental Controls That Actually Work ScreenKin gives parents the insight they need to raise digitally responsible kids. Why ScreenKin is Different Two key differentiators set ScreenKin apart: 1. Real visibility over artificial barriers Unlike complicated filters and restrictions that tech-savvy kids can easily bypass, ScreenKin takes a smarter approach. We don't rely on systems they can outsmart – we simply show you what they're actually doing online, via randomly captured screenshots. 2. Teaching responsibility, not creating dependency ScreenKin helps you teach your kids to use their devices responsibly. Most apps just try to bubble wrap your kids, but that only creates a false sense of security. Your end goal isn't to bubble wrap your child – it's to raise them so they can responsibly use technology on their own. ScreenKin is simple yet incredibly effective. Key Features Random Screenshots - See exactly how devices are being used with automatically captured screenshots Tamper-Resistant - Designed to prevent kids from disabling or bypassing monitoring without parental consent Adjustable privacy - As your child matures, you can enable text redaction or image blurring to grant them greater privacy. What ScreenKin Helps You Detect - Inappropriate content and pornography - Cyberbullying and online harassment - Excessive screen time patterns - Self-harm or dangerous content - Online predator interactions - Academic dishonesty - Scam websites and phishing attempts - Sexting and inappropriate communications - Violent or disturbing content This is the kids app and should be installed on the child's device.
