Flexible Schedules
Automate restrictions for recurring events like School. The schedule is enabled at a specific time without the parent’s additional action. You can customize schedules by blocking some apps while allowing others. For example, you can block distracting games for the Study Time schedule while allowing educational apps.
Grace provides built-in schedules for Study and Bedtime while allowing a high level of customization. Parents can also create their own schedules like Homework and Dinner. Apple’s Screen Time has only a Downtime schedule which cannot be customized.

Enhanced web protection
Grace has over 50K of adult, gambling, drugs, alcohol, and weapons-related websites pre-loaded and blocked by default on your kid’s device. We update the lists once a month to keep up with new dangers that might reach your child unexpectedly. Apple’s Screen Time blocks only adult sites and provides no information on how frequently they are updated.
Lock Screen widgets
You can now see a child’s screen time status live on your lock screen. Widgets show you at a glance what restrictions are active or scheduled on the child’s device and if the child’s device is locked, blocked or reached today’s screen time limit.
More intuitive interface
We’ve paid extra attention to building a more intuitive and comfortable supervision workflow for parents. We’ve added “Pause” and “Lock Phone” quick actions to make it easy to temporarily pause restrictions or block all apps without going into numerous screens.
