Step 1 of 4The moment

8 pm.
“Five more minutes.”
Again.

It isn’t really about five minutes. It’s the same negotiation every night — and ending it is always the parent’s job.

What if the plan did the ending, and the extra minutes had to be earned?

Step 2 of 4How it works

One plan.
Agreed once.

01

You set the limit.Which apps, how much time each day, and when bedtime starts.

02

They earn a little extra.Quiz questions and brain games add minutes, at the rate you choose, up to a daily cap.

03

Bedtime still wins.Earned time never overrides bedtime or a pause. Asking for more goes to your phone.

Step 4 of 4Good to know

Made for families.
Kept private.

  • Built on Apple Screen Time

    The limits run on Apple’s own Screen Time on your child’s iPhone or iPad.

  • Private by design

    Shield never reads messages, photos or browsing. Family data stays in your private iCloud.

  • One plan, the whole family

    Every child gets their own settings. Your co-parent joins the same family.

  • iPhone & iPad

    A parent device and a child device, both on iOS or iPadOS 26 or later.

Your chosen subscription renews automatically. A monthly plan begins monthly billing; a 3-month plan charges the 3-month price every three months; a yearly plan charges the full annual price for the following year. Check your local price before claiming and review the exact amount and renewal date in Apple’s confirmation screen. Cancel in Apple Account settings at least 24 hours before the free period ends to avoid renewal.
