OurPact is built around schedules and blocking. You can set screen limits, create block schedules that remove chosen apps during school or bedtime, lock a device instantly, block individual apps and get alerts when a new app appears. Both paid plans manage up to 20 child devices on iOS and Android and include live location, location history and arrival and departure alerts, along with a web filter, adult content blocking and system restrictions such as preventing app deletion or in-app purchases on iPhones. Premium+ adds content monitoring through instant and automated screenshots, stored in an encrypted gallery, with AI flagging of harmful content and custom detection for words or topics you choose. Premium costs $69.99 a year and Premium+ $99.99. The tradeoffs: screenshots reveal more of a child's screen than most parents need, tamperproofing is limited to iOS 18 and earlier, and the extra monitoring is locked to the higher plan.
