CurfewSchedules that run themselves
School hours, bedtime, free time with daily allowances, set per day type with exceptions for holidays. The phone enforces every edge, online or not.
For families with a kid and an iPhone
Bedtime that keeps itself.
Curfew puts your kid's iPhone on a schedule the phone enforces on its own. School hours, bedtime, daily allowances. Change any of it from your phone and it lands in seconds.
Free on the kid's phone. Remote control from your phone is $2.99 a month after a 14-day trial.
The phone keeps the rules. You keep the relationship.
Say yes from anywhere
A request from the block screen reaches your Lock Screen. Allow 15 or 30 minutes, or not now, without opening the app. It lands on their phone in seconds.
Fair to the kid
Plain words on the block screen, a countdown to when things open up, and ways to earn more: homework unlocks games. Calls always work.
One ordinary Tuesday.
Noah is twelve. His parents set Curfew up once. Here is what happened today without anyone opening a settings screen.
7:00 AM
School hours start.
Only the school apps open. Everything else shows a short screen that says why and when it ends.
3:00 PM
Free time, with a budget.
An hour of games, forty-five minutes of social, counted by the phone. Homework earns more.
4:10 PM
Noah asks for more.
Mom allows 15 minutes from her Lock Screen between meetings. His phone opens up in seconds.
6:30 PM
Dinner. Every phone pauses.
Dad taps Family pause from the table. Calls still work, in case Grandma rings.
9:00 PM
Bedtime, no argument.
The Lock Screen shows a countdown to 7:00 AM. The phone did the saying no.
The phone is free. The cloud is $2.99.
Everything that runs on your kid's iPhone costs nothing, forever. Pay only if you want to run it from your own phone.

Curfew is in final testing with families.
Leave your email and we'll tell you the day it reaches the App Store. Nothing else, and the list is never shared.
Questions parents ask first.
Which phones does it work on?
An iPhone running iOS 18 or later, for the kid and for you. The kid's iPhone needs to be signed in with a child account in your Family Sharing group. That is Apple's rule for any app that sets Screen Time limits.
Can my kid just delete it?
Keep it in place blocks deleting the app and installing new ones, and can lock account changes. A kid who knows your Apple Account password can still undo that, so keep it to yourself.
Does Curfew read messages or track location?
No. It never sees what is on the screen or inside any app. Places you set up, like school, are checked on the phone itself. Your phone only learns which place the kid's phone is in, not where it is.
What happens if I stop paying?
The kid's phone keeps enforcing the last schedule exactly as it was. Your phone goes read-only until you subscribe again. No child is ever left unprotected over a lapsed card.
Can both parents use it?
Yes. Invite a co-parent with full control, or a grandparent as an approver who can allow more time and answer requests but cannot change schedules.
Does the free part need an account?
No. Everything on the kid's phone works without an account or a connection. You only sign in when you want to run it from your own phone.
