iPhone and iPad
Get ParentProof for iOS
Run the family from your own iPhone or iPad: see the children's devices, answer a request, add time, pause everything. This is the parent's side of ParentProof — it does not supervise the iPhone or iPad it is installed on, and there is no version of it that supervises a child's.
On this iPhone or iPad
Put ParentProof on this iPhone or iPad
One route works today and it needs no store, no invitation and no download: the dashboard, added to your Home Screen, where it opens full-screen with no address bar. It is the same account and the same data a laptop sees.
iPhone
The parent console in a pocket — a request answered at the school gate, the pause switch, tonight's limits.
iPad
The same console with room to breathe. One dashboard lays itself out for the screen it is on; there is no separate iPad version to choose.
Loading how to add it…
- Sign in with your parent account. The same family, children, rules and requests you already have — not a second account, and nothing to migrate.
- Turn on alerts. A request from your child, or a device that has gone quiet, reaches you without you opening anything.
- Add a device with its pairing code. A tablet or a computer is set up from a Windows PC or Mac; the code it finishes on is typed in here.
Safari specifically, on iPhone and iPad: Apple only lets Safari add a page to the Home Screen, so Chrome and the rest cannot do that one step.
The part that is easy to get wrong
An iPhone is the parent's device here, never the child's
ParentProof on iOS is a remote control for the adult. It reports on the children's tablets and computers and sends changes to them. It puts no restriction on the phone or tablet it is running on, and it never could: iOS gives no third-party app the protected management role ParentProof uses on Android.
This app manages your children's tablets and computers. It does not supervise the iPhone it is installed on — iOS gives no app that power.
That is not marketing copy for this page. It is the sentence the app puts on its own sign-in screen, before a parent types anything.
- See every child's devices, what is running, and what has been asked for.
- Answer a request, grant extra minutes, pause everything at once.
- Restrict, filter, time-limit or lock the iPhone or iPad it is installed on.
- Supervise a child's iPhone or iPad. There is no ParentProof for one, and there is not going to be one.
A supervised device is an Android tablet or phone, or a Windows PC or Mac. That is the whole list, on every plan. Apple grants no app the protected management role this depends on, so if the device you need to supervise is an iPhone or iPad, this product has nothing honest to sell you — and we would rather say so here than after you have paid. The devices page says why, in full.
The native app
It is not on the App Store yet
There is no App Store listing for ParentProof today, so this page gives you no store button — a link that opens nothing is worse than an honest gap.
Not yet
A native iPhone and iPad parent app is being built and goes to invited testers only. It is not published, it is earlier than the dashboard above, and there is no date to give you. Neither is an Android parent app published anywhere. When a native app is listed, it will still be the parent's console described above — a listing changes where you get it, not what it can do.
Want to know when it is listed? Leave your address on the home page. Already testing with us? The tester page covers the invitation-only build.
Pausing from your phone is a request until the device confirms it
Pause everything reaches each child device at its next check-in, and one that is switched off or off the network waits until it reconnects. Until a device has confirmed the change it is shown as Pending…, never as Applied ✓. That difference is the point of the whole dashboard.
The account and the dashboard are free during private testing and need no installer at all. Securing a child's tablet or computer starts on a Windows PC or Mac — the device downloads page has both.
