Stop the endless scrolling — for yourself, or for your kids. Time Guard Plus uses Apple's Screen Time framework to enforce limits that actually hold. Set daily allowances per app or category, define allowed hours and weekly schedules, then lock it all behind a passcode that can't be casually undone. FOR PARENTS • Manage your child's device remotely from your own iPhone or iPad • Check usage, lock or unlock apps — without ever touching their device • Tamper-proof mode for Family Sharing child accounts • Scan once to pair; commands travel through your own private iCloud FOR YOURSELF • Daily total limits plus per-session limits with break countdowns • Block distracting apps during work, study, or sleep hours • Weekly schedules with separate weekday and weekend rules • "Add time" for the occasional exception — it expires the same day REPORTS & INSIGHTS • Daily and historical usage, broken down by app and by category • See exactly how much of today's allowance is left • Home Screen widget for a glance without opening the app BUILT TO HOLD • Limits survive force-quits, restarts, and midnight rollovers • Native SwiftUI for iPhone and iPad, iOS 17.6 or later • Full English and Simplified Chinese localization PRIVACY Time Guard Plus is built on Apple's Family Controls framework. Your screen time data stays on your device and in your own private iCloud — it is never sent to our servers. Requires Screen Time permission. Remote parental management requires iCloud and Family Sharing. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://timeguard.top/privacy
