Description
Parental controls that need a parent's approval, not a tap.
ScrollMate is a parental control app for families with teens. A parent or legal guardian sets up limits on their child's phone, and when the child hits a limit, the app gets blocked. If the child wants more time, they send a request. The parent decides.
Free 3-Day Trial • Then Subscription Required
Built for one relationship and one relationship only: a parent or legal guardian and the child whose device they manage. There is no social network here, no feed of strangers, and no way to be found by anyone you did not hand a code to.
HOW IT WORKS
1. Set up ScrollMate on the child's phone and pick the apps to limit
2. Set the daily limits
3. A parent or guardian installs ScrollMate on their own phone and connects with an invite code
4. When the child hits a limit, ScrollMate blocks the app
5. The child can send a request for extra time, with a photo and a reason
6. The parent approves or denies it from their own phone
WHY SCROLLMATE WORKS
Most screen time apps leave the final decision to the child. That sounds fine until they are bored, tired, or already twenty minutes deep into a feed. A four-digit passcode gets watched over a shoulder and shared within a week.
ScrollMate adds one step that cannot be tapped past: a parent has to say yes. Nothing unlocks until they do.
FEATURES
Parent Approval
Extra time only happens when a parent or guardian approves it from their own device.
App Blocking
Set limits for distracting apps on the child's phone and make them harder to reopen.
No Easy Snooze
ScrollMate creates real friction, not another button to dismiss.
Request With Context
The child explains why they need more time before the parent decides.
Daily Overview
Parents see how the day is going on the phone they manage.
Invite Codes Only
Accounts connect by sharing a code in person. No username search, no contact uploads, no strangers.

PRIVACY
ScrollMate uses Apple's Screen Time tools so a parent or guardian can manage app access on their child's device, which is exactly what those tools are built for. Screen time details stay protected by Apple's system and are only ever shared with the parent or guardian connected to that device. Accounts connect by invite code, so nobody can find a child's account by searching. We do not upload contacts and we do not sell data.
GET STARTED
Install ScrollMate on the child's phone. Set the limits. Connect a parent or guardian with an invite code. From then on, extra time is a decision, not a tap.
