A little agreement before a little screen time. Little Umbrella is built for parents and children sharing one iPhone. Set your rules, then tap Hand to Child. When it is time to take your phone back, exit Child Mode with a parent’s Face ID, Touch ID (where supported), or parent PIN. Restrictions apply only during Child Mode. CHOOSE ONE WAY TO MANAGE APPS • Allowed Apps: make only selected apps available, while other manageable apps are blocked. • Blocked Apps: restrict selected games or video apps. • Daily Limits: set a daily allowance for selected apps or categories. Apps block when time is up and reset at midnight. • Allowed Times: make selected apps available only during agreed times. • Blocked Times: block selected apps during homework, bedtime or other scheduled periods. One restriction type is active at a time. Other settings stay saved. System apps such as Phone and Messages are not blocked by ordinary app restrictions. MAKE ROOM FOR ENCOURAGEMENT • Let your child ask for extra time, then decide after parent verification. • Reward reading, homework or chores with extra time after you confirm completion. • Set reminders to look up and rest their eyes. • See today’s and the past 7 days’ Child Mode session time to understand habits. START FOR FREE Child Mode, eye break reminders, safety protection, and allowing or blocking one app are free. During Child Mode, safety protection prevents app downloads, app deletion and in-app purchases, and filters adult websites in Safari. GO FURTHER WITH PLUS Plus adds more apps and categories, daily limits, schedules, usage reports, extra time requests and task rewards. Choose a monthly or yearly auto-renewable subscription, or a one-time Lifetime purchase. Prices and any available offers appear on the purchase screen. System limits on app selections and monitoring rules still apply. ON YOUR PHONE No Little Umbrella account is required. Usage records and rules stay on your device. Setup requires Screen Time permission and a parent PIN. We recommend setting a system Screen Time Passcode and keeping both parent and device passcodes private. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the current period ends. Manage or cancel in your Apple account subscription settings. Lifetime is a one-time purchase.
