Parental control for iPhone

See where they are.
Block what they shouldn't see.

Skydo shows your child's location live, tells you the moment they arrive at school, and blocks the apps and websites you choose — enforced by Apple's own Screen Time. All from your own phone.

Free to download. Skydo Premium switches protection on — one subscription on your phone covers your child's phone too.

Everything a parent actually needs

Live location

Watch their position update smoothly while they move — walking or in a car, with their speed.

Arrival alerts

Add home, school or practice and get a notification the moment they arrive or leave.

Block apps in one tap

TikTok, Instagram, games — or whole categories. Blocked apps simply don't open.

Adult sites blocked

Pornographic and harmful sites are filtered out of Safari and search.

School Mode

Only the apps you allow during school hours. It switches on and off by itself.

Bedtime & daily limits

Phones go quiet at night and stop at the daily limit you set.

Run it from your phone

Pair once with a code. Change bedtime, limits or pause everything from anywhere.

Private by design

Location is end-to-end encrypted between your two phones. No ads, no data selling.

Questions parents ask

Does Skydo work on Android?

No. Skydo is built on Apple's Screen Time technology and works on iPhone only — both your phone and your child's.

Do I need Family Sharing?

No. You pair the two phones once with a code. No accounts, no Family Sharing setup required.

Can my child just delete the app or turn it off?

You can block deleting and installing apps and lock Skydo's settings with a parent PIN and Face ID. Location sharing is visible on the child's phone, by design.

Is my child's location private?

Yes. It's end-to-end encrypted between your two phones — not even Skydo can see it — and is only used to show it to you.

How much does it cost?

Skydo is free to download. Protection needs Skydo Premium (monthly or yearly); the App Store shows the price in your currency. One subscription on your phone covers your child's phone too.
