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. You can manage or cancel your subscription anytime in your App Store account settings.

FawnGuard helps parents build healthy screen-time habits for their kids — without the guesswork. Set a daily limit, block the apps that get in the way, and reward the good stuff. Everything is managed from the parent's phone. SCREEN TIME LIMITS THAT ACTUALLY STICK • Set a daily screen-time limit for each child. • When the time is up, FawnGuard shields the device using Apple's Screen Time technology. • Kids can ask for more time; you approve or deny right from your phone. BLOCK & LIMIT APPS • Limit specific apps or whole categories. • Set a 0-minute limit to block an app entirely. • Changes sync to your child's device automatically. SCHEDULE DOWNTIME & BEDTIME • Create school-time and bedtime windows that block the device automatically. • Great for homework focus and a calmer night routine. REWARD GOOD HABITS • Kids complete tasks you set (chores, homework, reading) to earn coins. • They redeem coins for bonus minutes or a short app unlock in the Reward Shop. • Turns "screen time" into a positive, motivating system instead of a fight. ONE DASHBOARD FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY • Manage multiple children from a single dashboard. • Invite a co-parent so you're both on the same page. • See how screen time is being spent with clear usage reports. PEACE OF MIND • A child can send an SOS alert with their location to parents in an emergency. • A parental PIN protects the settings on your child's device. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • FawnGuard is built for parents to manage their own family. • We do not read your child's messages, browse their social media, or track their location in the background. • Your family's data stays in your private account. Requires iOS 17 or later. Screen-time enforcement uses Apple's Family Controls (Screen Time) framework and requires granting Screen Time permission on the child's device.
