PearGuard vs Parental Control · OffLimits

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.

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.
