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.

Your kid finishes their iPhone time, walks to the PS5, and starts a fresh clock. You set limits on three devices but manage none of them together. Sound familiar? OneLimit gives your family one daily screen time budget that counts down across every device - iPhone, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, Xbox, and Windows PC. When time runs out on one, it runs out on all of them. No loopholes. HOW IT WORKS Set a daily budget for each child (say, 2 hours on weekdays, 3 on weekends). OneLimit tracks usage across all linked devices in near-real-time. On iOS your child sees a budget ring that fills up as they play and browse. When the budget is spent, every device locks. Simple. KEY FEATURES - Unified budget: One pool of time shared across iPhone, PS5, Switch, Xbox, and Windows. No more device-hopping. - Budget ring: A clear, color-coded gauge shows exactly how much time is left. Green, amber, red - your child always knows where they stand. - Streaks: Kids earn streaks for staying within their daily budget. Positive reinforcement, not just restriction. - Ask for more time: Your child can request extra minutes directly from their app. You approve or deny with one tap. - Emergency lock: Lock all devices instantly from the dashboard. One tap, no confirmation needed. Unlock when you are ready. - Bonus time: Grant +30 minutes with a single tap when plans change. - Activity log: See which devices were used, for how long, and when. No guesswork. - Schedules: Set weekday and weekend budgets, bedtime lockout windows, and per-device overrides. - Vacation mode: Relax the limits without deleting your settings. Toggle it on, toggle it off. - Bedtime countdown: Automatic lockout windows keep devices off at night. - Co-parenting ready: Designed for households where both parents need visibility. - Widget: Check each child's remaining budget from your iPhone home screen without opening the app. - Daily summary: A warm "good night" notification recaps the day. "Today was a 2h 14m day. Busiest: PS5." - Weekly email: A concise weekly report delivered to your inbox (optional). SUPPORTED PLATFORMS - iPhone / iPad - PlayStation 5 - Nintendo Switch - Xbox (Series X|S, One) - Windows PC PRIVACY FIRST OneLimit collects only what is necessary to track screen time budgets. We do not monitor content, read messages, track location, or store photos. All data is encrypted in transit and at rest.
