You didn't mean to check your phone again. A glance became ten minutes, and the moment with your kid slipped by. Tendle helps you put your own phone down and be fully present. Start your time together, and Tendle pauses the apps you choose — for as long as you want. The scroll can wait. Your kid can't. How it works: • Start your time together. The apps you chose pause. • Get a simple play idea — build a block tower, draw together, have a teddy tea party. One small, real thing to do side by side. • When you're done, snap a photo of what you made to finish. • That photo becomes a private moment — a small record of showing up. Over the week those moments add up: real minutes with your kid, and a streak of days you were there. Not screen time saved — presence given. Tendle is about your phone, not your child's. It doesn't monitor, track, or lock your kid's device — there's nothing to police. It just removes your biggest distraction so the two of you get the unhurried, focused time that actually builds the relationship. Private by design: • Tendle never uploads your photos or moments. If you choose to save them to Apple Photos, iCloud Photos may sync them according to your Apple settings. • Child faces are never needed — capture the block tower, the drawing, the thing you made together. Who it's for: Parents who love their kids and still catch themselves scrolling. Anyone who wants less time on the phone and more real time at home — a gentle screen-time habit built around connection, not guilt. Put your phone down. Be fully present.
