Screenable: Better Screen Time

Hey parents! Screenable is the kid phone for Apple families. It turns any iPhone or iPad into a starter phone that removes distractions, keeps you in the loop, and grows with your kids. Built for busy, modern parents.

▶ Feature highlight: DUMB PHONE
The anti-smartphone. Convert any iPhone into a classic “flip phone” with nothing more than Phone, FaceTime, Messages, location sharing, and any other apps you choose. A great alternative to an Apple Watch.

▶ Feature highlight: SCREEN TRAINER
The new, collaborative approach to parental controls that helps build kids’ self-control. Best for kids starting the transition to independent use of an iPhone or iPad (usually ages 9-14, but you know your kids best!).

▶ Feature highlight: ONE-TAP FOCUS
With a tap, remove the App Store, the camera, Safari, or any other internet browsers from your kids’ devices. Take away distractions until kids are ready for them.

▶ Feature highlight: GUIDED SETUP & EXPERIENCE
Get guidance and parental advice at every step. Read best practices and learn what’s worked for other families so that you feel confident things are set up just right.

▶ HOW IT WORKS

1. Connect a device. ◆ Use any iPhone from the past ~10 years. (iPads work great too.)
2. Choose a mode. ◆ Instantly convert it to a Dumb Phone, Media Player, Screen Trainer, Social-Free Phone, etc.
3. Stay in the know. ◆ Get notifications and weekly reports on how it’s being used.
4. Update any time. ◆ Remotely update it whenever needed, or even based on a schedule.

▶ WHY SCREENABLE

◆◆ No new devices or data plans required ◆◆
Don’t get a new Apple Watch or phone – just add Screenable to any ol’ iPhone or iPad. Whether on WiFi only or added to your existing family plan, setup is easy peasy.

◆◆ All things Apple for you and the kids ◆◆
Use FaceTime, message them with blue bubbles, and see their location in Find My. Share family services like iCloud storage or Apple Music. You and the kids stay within Apple.

◆◆ Dummy-proof and one-tap easy ◆◆
In just a tap, fully convert a device to a dumb phone, social-free phone, and more. Fully guided setup, easy to change as kids grow. Fantastic customer service if things go sideways.

▶ COMPARISON: KID’S FIRST DEVICE

SCREENABLE
√ ◆ Install on your existing iPhones/iPads (list)
√ ◆ Easy, guided setup
√ ◆ Quick modes for key needs
√ ◆ Notifications & reports
√ ◆ Darn affordable

APPLE WATCH
X ◆ Expensive, quickly gets outdated
X ◆ Hard to take phone calls
X ◆ No private or quiet calls
X ◆ Doesn’t grow with kids
X ◆ Single purpose, can’t be repurposed for other family needs

APPLE SCREEN TIME
X ◆ Convoluted settings on 20+ screens
X ◆ No notifications or email reports
X ◆ Brittle, doesn’t adapt to life
X ◆ Breaks all the time (just search for “Apple Screen Time broken” :)
X ◆ Parental controls increase parent-kid conflict and risky behavior

Pro tip: Screenable is built on Apple’s Screen Time, but without the annoyances & instability – AND with a bunch of new features! :)
