Screen time your kids actually listen to.
TimePaws tracks time on social media and, when a limit is up, sends a friendly animal walking across the screen to say "time for a break." No lectures, no lockouts, no arguments. Just a nudge that works.

Meet the reminder crew
The problem
"Five more minutes" turns into two hours.
Social apps are built to make time disappear. Hard blockers start fights and get worked around. Silent statistics get ignored. Kids (and adults) need something in between: a reminder that is noticed, liked, and respected.
1
Pick your limits
Set a daily budget and a single-session limit for the apps that matter: TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Snapchat and more.
2
Pick your animal
Choose from eight friends, give them a name, and decide how they cross the screen: walk, fly, bounce or peek.
3
Get a friendly nudge
When time's up, your animal shows up over the app. Ignore it and it comes back a little bigger and a little grumpier.
Why it works
Awareness beats force.
TimePaws doesn't block anything. It makes the moment of choice visible, at the exact time it matters, in a way that feels like a nudge from a friend instead of a rule from above.
- Timely. Reminders appear inside the app being used, not in a report a week later.
- Escalating, not nagging. Calm, Playful or Persistent moods decide how insistent repeat reminders get.
- Positive. Leave early and your animal celebrates you. Stay under your goal and your streak grows.
- Fair. One visible "2 more minutes" snooze per session, so a video can be finished without a fight.
For families
One calm dashboard for the whole household.
Link up to six children's phones or tablets with a 6-letter code. See today's time at a glance, get an alert when a limit is crossed, and a short summary every Sunday evening.
- No accounts, emails or passwords for kids
- At most one alert per hour per type, and quiet hours at night
- Kids can always see that sharing is on. Nothing is hidden.
- Only time is shared, never messages, photos or browsing
