Parental Controls: TapGuardian
Screen Time, App Blocker, Web
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Set a daily limit once and stop negotiating. Bedtime and school hours run on a schedule, and kids can earn extra screen time by finishing chores you approve.
Screen time without the daily argument.
Set your rules once — daily limits, bedtime, school hours, app blocking — and Tap Guardian keeps them running on your child's device, even offline.
What you can do:
Daily screen time limits
Set a healthy amount of time for each day. Tap Guardian keeps track and steps in when the time is up.
App and category blocking
Pause a single app or a whole group like games, social, or video with one tap. Turn it back on just as easily.
Bedtime and school schedules
Set quiet hours for bedtime and focus hours for school once, and let them run on their own every week.
Tasks and rewards
Give your kids tasks to complete and reward them with extra time. Streaks and small wins make good habits feel earned.
Location and Safety Zones
See where your family members are, and get a notification when someone arrives at or leaves a place like home or school.
One simple dashboard
Manage every device from one clear view. Changes sync in the background, so what you set is what happens.
Why parents like Tap Guardian:
Quick to set up
Clean, calm design
Runs quietly in the background
Built for real family routines

A friendlier start: answer a few quick questions and see a plan for your family before you sign up.
Children can now see exactly what their parent can see.
Swipe a notification left to delete it, and the dashboard now refreshes on its own.
Dates and times follow your phone's region and 24-hour setting.
Fixed Export My Data and Share Pairing Link not opening the share sheet, the leaderboard now shows live points, and the block screen wording is clearer. Plus other fixes and polish.
