PowerScreenX gives parents simple, flexible control over their children's screen time. How it works: Children receive a time balance that they spend in sessions. When time's up, the device locks automatically. Parents can manage everything from their own device. Key features: • Balance-based screen time — no rigid schedules, just a time budget • Start, stop, and extend sessions remotely from the parent app • Bonus time — reward good behavior with instant extra time • Automatic device lock when session ends • Uninstall protection — the app can't be removed without parent authorization • Works offline — device stays locked even without internet • Multi-device support — manage multiple children and devices Easy setup: 1. Parent signs in with Apple ID 2. Add your child's profile 3. Link the child's device with a simple code 4. Done — start managing screen time right away PowerScreenX uses Apple's Screen Time framework to enforce limits directly on the device. A child iCloud account in the same Apple Family Sharing group is required.
