SproutControl vs LendLock

Sportontrol helps parents protect kids’ screen time with real system-level app locks. Choose apps for lock sessions. When a locked app opens, iOS blocks it. Unlock with remote parent approval—or a local PIN. Use iCloud for remote family management, or stay local-only. Cloud is optional. What you can do • System-level locks via Screen Time capabilities • Two rules: daily time limits (great for games and short video), or schedule-based lock/unlock cycles (great for study hours) • Remote family: approve unlocks, toggle sessions, temporary unlock (e.g. 30 minutes or until tonight) • Local-only mode: no iCloud required; set up on the child’s device with PIN fallback • On-device usage summary after authorization • Transparent status: clear alerts for syncing, sync issues, or lost permissions Why Sportontrol Many families don’t lack rules—they lack clarity, consistency, and visibility. Sportontrol turns “which apps, when” into enforceable lock sessions, and stays honest about limits: protection depends on system authorization. A child may still turn off Screen Time in Settings—we never claim “impossible to bypass,” but we help you see when protection may be off. One app for Create Family / Join Family / This Device Only. Download Sportontrol and make screen-time rules clear—starting today.

"Can I play on your phone?" LendLock makes that an easy yes. One tap locks the apps you choose — Messages, Mail, photos, purchases — before you hand your phone over. When you get it back, Face ID unlocks everything. MADE FOR FAMILIES • Lend your phone to your kid: they get the games, your private apps show a lock screen • Kid-proof the family iPad: install LendLock, choose what's allowed, and lock the settings behind a code only you know • Timed lock: hand over the iPad for 30 or 60 minutes of free play — when time's up, the apps you chose lock automatically. Games off, reading apps still open. HOW IT WORKS • Pick apps or whole categories once, and save named setups — Kid, Guest, Games Only • Lock with one tap in the app, from the Home Screen widget, or right from your Apple Watch — turn the Digital Crown to pick a setup, and the watch-face complication shows lock status at a glance • Locked apps show a block screen and stay quiet — their notifications are silenced too • Unlock with Face ID, or set a private 6-digit LendLock code for kids who already know your iPhone passcode • Settings lock: every change asks for Face ID first, so nothing can be changed while the device is out of your hands • Settings lockdown: while locked, the device can't delete LendLock, change the passcode or Face ID, sign out of iCloud, install apps, make in-app purchases, or change the date and time WHY NOT THE BUILT-IN APP LOCK? iOS can require Face ID for an app, but leaving it on changes how your phone behaves every day — locked apps stop working properly in places like CarPlay. LendLock is a toggle: everything is normal while the phone is yours, and locked only while it's lent. PRIVATE BY DESIGN LendLock locks apps using Apple's own Screen Time system, entirely on your device. No account, no servers, no analytics, no data collection — it can't even see which apps you picked. FREE AND PRO Free: lock whole app categories, the widget, the Apple Watch app, timed lock, and your own unlock code. LendLock Pro ($4.99, one time): pick exact apps and save multiple setups. One purchase covers your whole family through Family Sharing. No subscription. Requires iOS 17 or later on iPhone or iPad. Questions? lendlock.app/support
