KidPause uses Apple’s Shortcuts automation to enforce screen time limits. When a session timer expires, the selected apps are automatically blocked on your child’s device. You set it up once, and it works every time — no jailbreaking or special configuration required.

Absolutely. KidPause doesn’t monitor what your child does on their device — no content tracking, no location monitoring, no browsing history. It simply manages time limits. We believe in setting boundaries, not surveillance.

Tap the Pause button to instantly block specific apps on your child’s device. It’s protected by a parent PIN so your child can’t unpause it themselves. Perfect for dinner time, homework, or bedtime.

Yes! You can create recurring schedules for weekdays, weekends, or any custom pattern. For example, limit gaming to 1 hour on school nights but allow 2 hours on Saturdays. KidPause enforces these limits automatically.

Yes, KidPause includes a companion Apple Watch app. You can start sessions, pause apps, and check remaining time directly from your wrist — perfect for when your phone isn’t handy.

KidPause Premium unlocks unlimited schedules, detailed session analytics and weekly reports, multiple child profiles, priority support, and advanced Shortcuts automations. Free users can still start sessions, use Pause, and set basic schedules.
