Parental controls without surveillance

Clear rules. Protected by PIN.

Set AppLimiter up directly on your child's iPhone. Decide how often selected apps can be opened, when they should stay blocked, and protect every rule with a 6-digit PIN.

AppLimiter locked with a parental-control PIN

Made for families

A guardrail, not a monitoring system.

AppLimiter helps a parent and child agree on visible, predictable limits. It does not create a cloud account, track location, read messages, or send app activity to a remote dashboard.

6-digit PIN

Only someone with the code can change protected limits and settings.

Opening limits

Choose a daily number of opens and a session length for each rule.

Protected hours

Fully block selected apps during sleep, school, homework, or family time.

iOS enforcement

Force-quitting AppLimiter does not switch the limits off.

Weekday and weekend protected hours in AppLimiter

Predictable by design

Rules children can understand.

No vague punishment and no invisible countdown. The screen shows what remains, how long a session lasts, and when an app becomes available again.

  • Separate limits for weekdays and weekends
  • Always-allowed apps for essentials
  • Emergency passes for genuine exceptions
  • Clear notifications when sessions or limits end

Private for the whole family.

No child profile. No browsing history. No remote activity feed. The rules stay on the iPhone where they were created, and the selected apps remain anonymous even to us.
