Quiet Screen is a simple screen time enforcement app for parents. Block or unblock any app on your child's device to end screen time, right from your phone. HOW IT WORKS Quiet Screen runs on two Apple devices, a Parent and Child device, paired with a code. Choose the apps you want to block on your child's device, and then you can block or unblock right from the parent's device. A blocked app will display a dark screen. No accounts, no sign-ups, no password for anyone to forget. QUIET SCREEN FREE Manually block and unblock any app on your child's device QUIET SCREEN PLUS Quiet Screen Plus unlocks automated screen time enforcement: Consistently end screen time around your schedule, without having to remember. Create custom Routines that fit your child's schedule and screen time rules. Schedule a Routine to block all apps every day shortly before bedtime, or block only certain apps during school hours. Set it once and it runs — consistently, every night, so you're not the one enforcing it. Quiet Screen Plus removes the burden of remembering, and gives you the peace of mind that your child is building healthier habits.
