About

Parental Control · OffLimits

Read full description

Set up your child's phone with it right in your hands: choose the apps, websites, and inappropriate content to block, lock your choices behind a PIN only you know, and hand the phone back. Your child can't switch the blocking off — and can't wait it out. OffLimits works on the device itself. No remote monitoring, no location tracking, no reading your child's activity from your phone. This is parental control that doesn't spy on your child. The same engine works for you, too: - Focus: block distracting apps while you work, study, or sleep. - Self-control: block inappropriate content on your own phone, for yourself. No ads. No dark patterns. Everything stays on the device. A cooldown lock that's firm but never locks you out. Built on Apple Screen Time. One full day of Pro, free, so you can try everything first. After that, Pro is what keeps the blocking running — there is no permanent free version. Pro $9.99/mo or $59.99/yr.
