Your rules
A little independence should fit your family’s day. Choose their people, make space for homework, and keep a way for trusted callers to reach them.
Manage incoming and outgoing permissions for each contact number. A familiar display name makes the handset feel personal. Sharing a number across devices never gives a device permission to call someone outside its approved circle.
Pause ordinary calls for an hour, until a chosen time, or on a recurring schedule. Resume a temporary pause early when homework is done. An independently active bedtime schedule still applies.
Allow repeat-call breakthrough for specific approved numbers, such as Mom’s Cell. A second distinct call within the configured window can override quiet time. It never overrides contact approval or a revoked permission.
Manage your family account with separate parent identities. See who called, when, how long when known, and what happened. Call reporting is about activity, without recording or transcribing what anyone said.
Try a little quiet time.
Try the preview to see how a parent pauses and resumes a line. This interactive example does not change a real phone.
One phone. Your rules.
Calls from approved contacts are welcome.
A second call can break through quiet time.
On the roadmap · call time limits
The next layer of family controls: a limit for each call, a daily calling budget, a budget for a particular contact, or an extra ten minutes decided in the moment. Shared budgets should follow the child or line across devices.
“You have two minutes left. Time to wrap up your conversation.”
A friendly spoken warning gives everyone time to say goodbye. Parent extensions, trusted-contact exceptions, and who hears the warning are part of this feature’s design.
