About Dad Mode
Dad Mode helps you be fully present during family time by blocking the apps that pull you away. HOW IT WORKS 1. Choose which apps distract you most - social media, news, games, or anything else 2. Slide to activate Dad Mode when it's family time 3. Stay present while those apps are blocked FEATURES - Simple slide-to-activate gesture - no complicated settings - Uses Apple's Screen Time to reliably block apps - Track your focus streaks and total present time - Daily reminders to activate Dad Mode - Home screen widget shows your status at a glance WHY DAD MODE? We've all been there. You pick up your phone to check one thing, and suddenly 20 minutes have passed. Your kids are playing, your partner is talking, and you missed it. Dad Mode creates a simple barrier between you and your distracting apps. When it's on, those apps are blocked. No willpower required. It's not about never using your phone. It's about being intentional. When you're with your family, be WITH your family. PRIVACY FIRST - All your data stays on your device - No accounts, no sign-ups, no tracking - We never see which apps you block or when you use Dad Mode Built by a dad, for dads (and moms, and anyone who wants to be more present).
