Private, peer-to-peer parental controls for your family. No accounts, no cloud, no tracking. Set screen time, block apps and approve requests directly from your device.
PearGuard is a privacy-first parental control app that runs entirely on your family's devices. No accounts. No cloud servers. No data collection.
Parents set policies on their iPhone; children's non-iOS devices enforce them locally. Devices sync directly over an end-to-end encrypted peer-to-peer connection whenever they can reach each other, and everything keeps working offline.
FEATURES
• Screen time limits: daily time budgets and bedtime windows on the child device
• Per-app policies: allow, block or time-limit individual apps
• Activity view: see what has been used and when, from the parent device
• Time requests: child asks for extra time; parent approves or denies
• Offline-first: policies apply immediately on the child device and sync when devices reconnect
• No accounts: identity is a cryptographic key pair generated on your device, not tied to an email or phone number
• No data collection: PeerLoom, Google, Apple and no third party ever sees your family's activity
HOW IT WORKS
The parent app pairs with the child app using a one-time invite link. After pairing, the two devices exchange signed, encrypted messages directly. There is no intermediary server storing your family's data.
REQUIREMENTS
• Parent device: iPhone running iOS 16 or later
• Child device: Not applicable to iOS devices
• Both devices need internet access to sync (any network, including mobile data)
PearGuard is built by PeerLoom LLC. We cannot see your data because it never leaves your devices.
