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.

Screen time, safe browsing, location, safe zones, SOS. One family safety app. OmoSafe is one family safety app for parents and children. Install it on your iPhone and on your child's iPhone, choose Parent / Guardian or Child device, and link them with a one-time code. OmoSafe runs openly on your child's phone, and your child can see exactly what you can see. HEALTHY SCREEN TIME (uses Apple's Screen Time) • Daily limits, app and category limits, and a bedtime that locks apps overnight • Your child can ask for more time, and you approve or decline from your phone • Lock now for dinner, homework and family time • You choose the apps on your child's iPhone with Apple's own picker. Apple keeps the exact minutes per app private, so OmoSafe shows approximate usage on iPhone. A SAFER INTERNET • Block adult websites with Apple's Screen Time web filter, plus single websites you choose • SafeSearch for Google, Bing and DuckDuckGo, and YouTube Restricted Mode, through a family-safe DNS setting that your child switches on once on their iPhone (OmoSafe shows how) LOCATION AND SAFE ZONES • Live family map with each phone's battery and last update • Safe zones with arrival and departure alerts (1 per child on Basic, unlimited on Family) • Scheduled zones, such as school hours on weekdays • Location history, so you can see where your child has been today SOS ON EVERY PLAN • Your child taps Get help now and every guardian gets an urgent alert with their location, repeated about every 5 minutes for 30 minutes if no one responds • Trusted adults who confirm their email also get an SOS email with the location • OmoSafe is not an emergency service and never calls emergency services. In an emergency, call your local emergency number. APPLE WATCH • A big SOS button on your child's Apple Watch • Fall alerts while the OmoSafe watch app is open • Apple Watch has no screen time controls FAMILY FIRST • Private family chat between children and guardians • Invite a co-parent by email with the role you choose (Family plan) • Optional weekly insight, only if you turn it on • 13 languages in the app • Parent web portal at app.omosafe.com, so you can check in from any computer HOW OMOSAFE LOOKS AFTER A CHILD'S PHONE OmoSafe is made for parents and guardians to look after their own children, with the child's knowledge. It shares the phone's location with the family (including in the background, for the family map, safe zone alerts and SOS).

PLANS • Basic: 1 parent and 2 child devices, with the family map, safe zones, SOS, screen time, app blocking and safe browsing • Family: 2 parents and 6 child devices, plus unlimited safe zones, 90 days of history and the optional weekly insight Subscriptions are charged to your Apple Account and renew automatically unless you turn off auto-renew at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.
