ChildLock — protect your child's screen time

Block the apps they shouldn't open. Hand-pick the channels they can watch. Keep the key on your Face ID.

Blocked apps

Pick the games, social apps, and everything else your child shouldn't open. ChildLock shields them with Apple's Screen Time.

Curated channels

Slow-paced, real-presenter channels — hand-picked by the ChildLock team and sorted by age. No unboxing, no AI slop, no rapid-cut brainrot.

Face ID unlock

Every session opens with your face. Kids can't tap or swipe past the shield.

Minutes-in-app

Watch how long they actually watched. No dark-pattern engagement metrics.

How it works

Block the apps

Choose the apps your child shouldn't open. ChildLock shields them on the device — no app-by-app arguing, no deleting and reinstalling.
Approve the channels

Search for a channel or start from our curated, age-banded suggestions, and approve exactly what your child may watch.
Keep the key

Hand over the phone. When the session ends, only your Face ID can extend it — and you see honest minutes-watched, not engagement bait.

One phone, two sides

Your child gets a calm space with only what you approved. You get a Face-ID-locked control room for the apps, the channels, and the clock.

For parents

Blocking runs on Apple's own Screen Time / FamilyControls framework, entirely on the device — so it holds up even when your child closes the app. Which apps you shield and what your child watches stay on the phone; nothing about your child's activity is sent to us. See our privacy policy for the full accounting.
