Chris Adams
Mom of a 7-grader
The Instant Block button is my parenting cheat code. One tap hides every social app at once, so my daughter finishes chores before the scroll fest begins—no hunting through a long app list.

Sarah Moylan
Mom of Three Kids
Homework used to be a nightly tug-of-war between Minecraft and math. With FamiSafe’s app blocker locking games from 4–7 p.m., my twins wrap up assignments before dinner—and our evenings are blissfully argument-free.

Lights-Out Screen Freeze kicks in at 9 p.m. and TikTok just disappears. My 12-year-old is asleep within minutes now, and we both wake up rested instead of cranky.
