Are you about to give your child their first phone or their first social media accounts? There is a better way than banning them or just crossing your fingers. BackToLife removes the addictive parts of social media and leaves everything else. Your child can still chat with friends on Instagram, watch what they like on YouTube, and use TikTok and X. But without Reels, without Shorts, without infinite scroll, or recommendations designed to hook them for hours. You control everything from your phone: β€’ Different filters for each network: on Instagram, hide Reels and Explore; on YouTube, hide Shorts, comments, subscriptions, or the home feed; on TikTok and X, hide the infinite video feed. You choose which ones, network by network. β€’ Set different schedules for school days and weekends. β€’ Block apps whenever needed. β€’ See their real-time social media usage: how long, when, and on which app. β€’ Add multiple children to the same account. And they can't disable it. On their phone, it displays: "Filters are managed by your parents." Getting started takes 2 minutes: install BackToLife on their phone, scan a QR code, and you're good to go. No spying: we don’t read messages or conversations. You see the usage, not the content. Because parenting isn't about surveillance. BackToLife was created in Spain by a young team that grew up with these platforms and knows exactly what makes them addictive. That's why we don't block social mediaβ€”we just remove the venom. BackToLife Parent requires a subscription. Questions?

About

Singlenote

Features
Read full description

Singlenote is a notes app with a single note. Always open, always at hand, nothing to organize. Most note apps ask you to manage notebooks, tags, and folders before you can write anything down. Singlenote skips all of that. Open the app and you're straight into your note: the one place for the door code, your Wi-Fi password, a booking reference, your work schedule, or whatever you need to check again and again. WRITE AND FORMAT Bold, italic, underline, links, bullet lists, numbered lists, and checklists. Paste in Markdown from anywhere and it formats itself. ADD IMAGES Drop in photos of tickets, IDs, receipts, or anything else worth keeping close. Drag to reorder them, tap to view full-screen with pinch-to-zoom. SHARE IN A TAP Send your note to WhatsApp, email, or any app, formatting intact. Share text or images into Singlenote from other apps too, straight into your note. LOCK IT WHEN YOU'RE DONE Switch to read-only with one tap so nothing gets edited by accident, then unlock to keep writing. MAKE IT YOURS Light, dark, or automatic. Three text sizes. Six languages: English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, and Italian. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your note stays on your device. We never see it, store it, or back it up on our servers. Singlenote collects a small amount of anonymous usage data to help us improve the app: things like note length or which tools get used, never your note content. Turn it off any time in Settings. One note. That's the whole app. Terms of Use: https://singlenote.app/terms-of-use
