THEIR OWN LITTLE WORLD, SAFE INSIDE YOURS

The safest way to hand your phone to a toddler

Toddler Mode is the toddler lock that turns your iPhone into a calm, kid-safe world for ages 2 to 5. Little ones see only the apps, photos, and videos you approve, built low-stimulation from the ground up, and the grown-up side stays behind your PIN.

SAFE BY DESIGN

A world they can't wander out of

We built the safety in ourselves. Create a profile for each child, choose exactly what goes in their world, and hand the phone over. From that moment:

Every screen they can reach leads only back to their apps
Nothing links out, and nothing can be bought
Exiting to the grown-up side always takes your PIN
Turn on Toddler Lock and even the home swipe and buttons are locked

Want to lock the phone's buttons too?

We'll show and remind you how to use Apple's Guided Access. With just one triple-click, you can childproof the whole phone, adding a hardware lock on top of our in-app security measures.

PHOTOS & VIDEOS

You decide what they see

Approve any photos and videos from your phone's library, a handful of favorites or the whole camera roll, it's your call.

Plus, anything your little one snaps with the built-in camera app shows up too! To them, nothing else exists.

FOR THE MOMENTS YOU NEED IT

We're not for hours of screen time.
We're for the twenty minutes that get you through.

Toddler Mode is made for families who keep screen time small and intentional. It's the restaurant wait, the doctor's office, the dinner that won't cook itself, or that unexpected visitor at the front door. Hand your phone over confidently, knowing there's nothing your child will find but the apps you approved.
