Parental controls for every app

Block the distraction,
not the app.

Write your family’s rules in plain English, like “no games after 9.” Hallpass applies them on your kid’s phone, tablet and laptop.

Clash Royale locks at 9. The algebra lesson keeps playing.

How it works

Most controls see which app your kid is in. Hallpass sees what they’re doing there.

Scroll through one school night with Hallpass.

  1. You

    Write the rule the way you’d say it.

    No category lists or blocklists to maintain. Just what tonight is for.

  2. Maya’s laptop

    At 9:00, the rule takes over.

    The rule reaches Maya’s laptop, phone and tablet at once. Until something needs a decision, she won’t notice Hallpass.

  3. Maya’s laptop

    A lesson fits the rule, so it just plays.

    Hallpass looks at what a video is for, not only which site it’s on.

  4. Maya’s laptop

    Then autoplay picks something else.

    Most parental controls have one move here: block YouTube entirely, lesson included.

  5. Maya’s laptop

    Hallpass sets aside just this one video.

    Maya sees why, in plain words. The lesson is still one click away.

  6. Maya

    Finished early? Ask for a pass.

    Set aside isn’t a dead end. Maya can ask, with a note.

  7. You

    You see the request, not the browsing history.

    Say yes, say not tonight, or say yes for a little while.

  8. Maya’s laptop

    Twenty minutes, then bed. Fair enough.

    A boundary that bends for a good reason, and stays yours to set.

    Now try a few rules yourself

How it compares

Most controls make you fully block an app.

That stops the rabbit hole, and the homework help goes with it. Hallpass blocks the distraction and keeps the rest.
