Pair in seconds
Scan a QR code on your child’s phone to link it — no fiddly accounts on their end.
Parental controls · Made in the UK
Set the rules. Stay close.
Pair your child’s iPhone, then set app limits and a bedtime window, message or call them, and see where they are — from your phone, after one quick setup on theirs. Calm, private, and honest about what iPhone controls can and can’t do.

What you get
Controls that live where they belong — with you.
You decide what the phone can do. Your child’s phone applies it, using Apple Screen Time.
App limits by category
Allow the essentials; after a one-time setup on their phone, pause social, games, video and more with a tap.
Bedtime lock & Block now
Pause the apps you cover in one tap for dinner or homework, and set the hours they should rest overnight.
Messages, calls and SOS
A calm family chat and voice calls that keep working even when everything else is paused — so you can always reach each other.
Live location
Turn it on to see where their phone is, right from your app — plus safe zones that tell you when they arrive at school or home.
Private by design
An age, not a birthday. An alias, not a name. Built around the UK Children’s Code, and honest about iPhone’s limits.
How it works
From pairing to peace.
- Pair Open Safeinest on both phones and scan the code.
- Set the rules Choose app categories, a bedtime lock, messaging and location from your phone.
- Relax A change you make is sent to their phone straight away, and their phone applies your rules whenever Safeinest Kids runs.
Honest by design
Clear about what iPhone can and can’t do.
What Safeinest does
- Allow or block app categories, and pause everything you cover in one tap
- Bedtime and school-hours windows, timed blocks and focus presets
- Two-way family messaging and voice calls, plus a family SOS
- Live location and safe-zone alerts (opt-in per child)
- Tells you if Screen Time is switched off, if fewer apps are covered, or if a phone goes quiet
- Built around UK GDPR and the Children’s Code
What no iPhone app can do
- Read your child’s messages (Apple forbids it)
- Show how long each app was used (Apple keeps those figures on the device)
- Force-stop its own deletion (that’s a Screen Time passcode you set)
Message monitoring is an Android-only future feature. Read the FAQ →
