FawnGuard helps parents build healthy screen-time habits for their kids โ€” 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 โ€ข Set a daily screen-time limit for each child. โ€ข When the time is up, FawnGuard shields the device using Apple's Screen Time technology. โ€ข Kids can ask for more time; you approve or deny right from your phone. BLOCK & LIMIT APPS โ€ข Limit specific apps or whole categories. โ€ข Set a 0-minute limit to block an app entirely. โ€ข Changes sync to your child's device automatically. SCHEDULE DOWNTIME & BEDTIME โ€ข Create school-time and bedtime windows that block the device automatically. โ€ข Great for homework focus and a calmer night routine. REWARD GOOD HABITS โ€ข Kids complete tasks you set (chores, homework, reading) to earn coins. โ€ข They redeem coins for bonus minutes or a short app unlock in the Reward Shop. โ€ข Turns "screen time" into a positive, motivating system instead of a fight. ONE DASHBOARD FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY โ€ข Manage multiple children from a single dashboard. โ€ข Invite a co-parent so you're both on the same page. โ€ข See how screen time is being spent with clear usage reports. PEACE OF MIND โ€ข A child can send an SOS alert with their location to parents in an emergency. โ€ข A parental PIN protects the settings on your child's device. PRIVATE BY DESIGN โ€ข FawnGuard is built for parents to manage their own family. โ€ข We do not read your child's messages, browse their social media, or track their location in the background. โ€ข 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.

About

QuietCheck

No news is good news. Your parent's day sits in a widget on your home screen, as a quiet light. Every time they pick up their phone, that light grows a little brighter. They never have to tap anything: using the phone as they always do is how you hear from them. Nothing for them to do They install it, agree once, and that's it. No check-in button, no daily prompt to answer. If they ever want to stop, there is exactly one button, and it is the one that disconnects. What is sent, and what is not Sent โ€” the times the phone was used, how much battery is left, whether it's charging. That's the whole list. Not sent โ€” location, which apps were used, photos, contacts, message content. The app has no location feature at all. Detailed records are erased after 30 days. Built so it doesn't cry wolf Choose when a quiet stretch is worth telling you about: 6, 12 or 24 hours. Sleeping hours don't count as quiet. And you can tell from the notification itself whether the battery ran out or the day was simply calm. Your siblings can see it too One invite code, and you are all looking at the same light. QuietCheck passes along a check-in signal. It is not an emergency service, and no news does not mean an emergency.
