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.

ParentProof for iPhone and iPad
ParentProof is not on the App Store yet. Open the web account in Safari or any browser — the same family, children and settings 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.

- Open the web account. Sign in from Safari or another browser to see the same family dashboard.
- Manage the family. Review devices, answer requests, add time and pause a child's device.
- Set up child devices separately. Prepare an Android tablet or phone over USB from a Windows PC or Mac, then finish Wi-Fi, sign-in and child selection in the installed child app. Its QR code can move that same pairing flow to your phone.
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 compatible Android child devices 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 compatible Android devices. 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 protected kids device is a compatible Android tablet or phone only. A Windows PC or Mac is used only to run setup. Apple grants no app the protected management role this depends on, so if the device you need to supervise is an iPhone or iPad, ParentProof is not the product for it. The devices page says why, in full.
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 dashboard open on the web and need no installer. Preparing a compatible Android child device starts on a Windows PC or Mac — the device downloads page has both setup apps.
