Guardian Nest Parental Control

New: approve extra screen time from your phone in one tap. Set daily limits, bedtime and homework schedules, and block apps on your child's iPhone.

Guardian Nest is the simple, private parental control app for iPhone. Set healthy screen time limits, schedule bedtime and homework, block distracting apps, and approve extra time all from your own phone.

Built on Apple's Screen Time technology, Guardian Nest works the way iOS was designed to: no VPNs, no profiles, no servers reading your child's activity.

DAILY SCREEN TIME LIMITS • Set a daily time limit for each child • Choose which apps and categories to limit or block • Limits are enforced by iOS on your child's iPhone, even offline

SCHEDULES & ROUTINES • School, homework and bedtime routines • Apps lock automatically when a routine starts • Pick the days and times that fit your family

EXTRA TIME REQUESTS • Your child can ask for more time right from their iPhone • Get an alert and approve or decline in one tap • Fewer arguments, more trust

FAMILY OVERVIEW & ALERTS • See every child's status at a glance • Know when a daily limit is reached or a routine starts • Parent PIN keeps settings safe on your child's device

PRIVATE BY DESIGN • Guardian Nest has no servers of its own • Rules and requests sync through your private iCloud account • Screen Time reports stay protected by iOS on your child's device • We can't read messages, photos, emails or anything inside other apps

FREE & PREMIUM Guardian Nest is free for one child, with ads shown only on the parent's device — never on your child's. Upgrade to Premium with a single one-time purchase to add more children and remove ads. No subscription.

Requires iOS Screen Time permission on your child's device. A parent should set up the child's iPhone together with the child.
