FawnGuard vs PearGuard

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.

PearGuard is a privacy-first parental control app that runs entirely on your family's devices. No accounts. No cloud servers. No data collection. Parents set policies on their iPhone; children's non-iOS devices enforce them locally. Devices sync directly over an end-to-end encrypted peer-to-peer connection whenever they can reach each other, and everything keeps working offline. FEATURES • Screen time limits: daily time budgets and bedtime windows on the child device • Per-app policies: allow, block or time-limit individual apps • Activity view: see what has been used and when, from the parent device • Time requests: child asks for extra time; parent approves or denies • Offline-first: policies apply immediately on the child device and sync when devices reconnect • No accounts: identity is a cryptographic key pair generated on your device, not tied to an email or phone number • No data collection: PeerLoom, Google, Apple and no third party ever sees your family's activity HOW IT WORKS The parent app pairs with the child app using a one-time invite link. After pairing, the two devices exchange signed, encrypted messages directly. There is no intermediary server storing your family's data. REQUIREMENTS • Parent device: iPhone running iOS 16 or later • Child device: Not applicable to iOS devices • Both devices need internet access to sync (any network, including mobile data) PearGuard is built by PeerLoom LLC. We cannot see your data because it never leaves your devices.
