Control lives off the child's phone

SHIFT is controlled from your computer, so the blocker is not something your child can delete, toggle off, or route around from their phone. Once you start a shift, the escape routes stay closed.

I want the details

SHIFT is a desktop-controlled app blocker for iPhone, iPad, and Android. Unlike Screen Time, Bark, Qustodio, Opal, and other parental controls that can be bypassed or deleted from the phone, SHIFT keeps control on the parent's computer.

On Android, Safe Mode normally bypasses system restrictions, but SHIFT blocks Safe Mode while active. On iPhone, iPad, and Android, device restore and factory reset escapes are blocked while shifted.

Over 5,000 families use SHIFT. It is a one-time lifetime license with a 30-day money-back guarantee.

Common questions from parents.

No. SHIFT is controlled from your computer, not from the phone. Your child cannot delete it, disable it, or work around it from their device.
Every other parental control — including Screen Time, Bark, Qustodio, and Opal — can be bypassed or deleted from the phone. SHIFT lives on your desktop computer, making it impossible for your child to remove.
Download SHIFT on your Mac or PC, connect your child's phone via USB, and follow the setup instructions. After the initial setup, SHIFT works wirelessly — you control everything from your computer.
Social media, games, video streaming, and other distracting apps are blocked while shifted. Essential apps — messaging, maps, camera, school tools, and more — remain available.
Yes. You can schedule recurring shifts for bedtime, school hours, homework, chores, or any other window when distracting apps should stay blocked.
Yes. SHIFT works on iPhone, iPad, and Android devices. On Android, blocked apps are disabled rather than hidden.
Yes. Each license adds a device slot to your account. You can manage multiple devices from one computer and switch between them easily from the app.
No. SHIFT does not read, download, transmit, or store any personal information from the phone. No texts, no photos, no browsing history. We block apps — we don't spy on kids.
30-day money-back guarantee. If SHIFT isn't right for your family, we'll refund you in full.
