Playful Pause: Screen Time
One limit across every device
Free · In‑App Purchases
Playful Pause helps parents manage screen time across iPhone, iPad, Windows PCs, and Nintendo Switch.
ONE SUBSCRIPTION FOR YOUR FAMILY
Both monthly and annual plans include daily screen-time limits, playtime schedules, device pause controls, timed unlocks and bonus time for supported, paired devices. One subscription covers all children and invited co-parents in your Playful Pause family. The plans include the same features; only the billing period differs. Windows PCs require the Playful Pause companion app.
Using Playful Pause requires an auto-renewing subscription purchased through Apple. The purchase screen shows the price, billing period and any eligible free trial before you subscribe. Eligible new subscribers can start with a 3-day free trial. After the trial, the subscription renews at the displayed price unless canceled. Existing subscribers can restore purchases. Manage or cancel your subscription in your Apple Account settings.
New PlayStation connections are temporarily unavailable while we work on Sony sign-in. Existing connections are unchanged.
On iPhone and iPad, Playful Pause uses Apple Family Controls, Device Activity, and Managed Settings. Per-app Screen Time details stay on the child's device; aggregate usage is used to operate shared screen-time limits.
