Meet FoxTime β€” the friendly way to balance screen time. A cheerful fox watches over your child's phone and turns "time's up" from a daily battle that finally makes sense to them. TAP TO PLAY No nagging, no surprises. When it's time to play, your child taps Play and a countdown begins β€” they see exactly how many minutes are left, ticking down on the clock. When it runs out, apps rest until tomorrow. Empowering, not punishing. A FOX THEY'LL LOVE The fox lives in a little world that changes with the real weather and the time of day β€” sunny mornings, starry bedtimes. Your child picks their favorite fox and watches it curl up to sleep at night. Limits feel gentle instead of scary, so there are fewer tantrums and calmer evenings. YOU'RE IN CONTROL Set everything up in a few minutes, from your own phone or right on your child's: β€’ Daily time limit with the friendly Play timer β€’ Rest schedules for bedtime, school and dinner β€’ One-tap pause whenever you need quiet β€’ Homework mode β€” block everything except study apps β€’ Vacation mode β€” rules off for the day β€’ App groups and website filtering IT STAYS ON, AND STAYS HONEST FoxTime tells you if Screen Time access gets switched off or the app selection is lost, and lets you Ping your child's phone to confirm it's still protected β€” so blocking never fails silently behind your back. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Built entirely on Apple's Screen Time (Family Controls). No ads. No data selling. No account to create. What's on your child's phone stays on your child's phone. Download FoxTime and make screen time calm again. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
