About RootLock
RootLock is the family safety app that keeps everyone close: live location, driving safety and real parental controls, all in one place, all covered by one subscription. KNOW THEY'RE SAFE • See your whole family on a live map, with your saved places drawn on it • Location history: any day from the last 30, with every stop and drive • Save places like Home, School and Practice for one person or several, and get an alert the moment someone arrives or leaves • Arrival checks: an alert if someone isn't there by a set time, on the days you choose • Phone status: know if a child's phone stops reporting, or if location or Screen Time is turned off • One-tap check-ins, quick messages ("Running late", "Pick me up") and SOS alerts that share location with every parent EVERY DRIVE, COVERED • Drives are detected automatically, with no buttons to press • See the route, distance, duration, top speed, and where each trip started and ended • Safety events pinned on the route: hard braking, fast starts, speeding, phone use • A safety score for every drive, a miles-per-day chart, and a weekly driving summary REAL PARENTAL CONTROLS • Block apps, app categories and websites on your child's device, remotely • Daily limits: "Games, 1 hour a day". When it's used up, they pause until midnight • Schedules for bedtime and school hours, with essentials always available • Web filtering: block adult content, or allow only the sites you choose • A blocked-app screen that tells your child why and when it comes back • Your child can ask for more time, and you can allow 15, 30 or 60 minutes in one tap • Device rules: turn off new app downloads, or stop apps being deleted and reinstalled • A parent PIN gates signing out, so protection can't be quietly removed • Step-by-step guides for Roblox, YouTube, Instagram, Snapchat, TikTok and Discord BUILT FOR CO-PARENTING • Invite a co-parent with equal controls. You both see alerts and manage rules • Each adult chooses exactly what they share: location, activity and emergency alerts • Choose which notifications you get, and set quiet hours ONE SUBSCRIPTION, THE WHOLE FAMILY • A single plan covers every parent and child in your family • 14-day free trial, then $9.99/month or $44.99/year • No ads and no data selling, ever. Location history is kept for 30 days. RootLock's protection features are built on Apple's Family Controls framework and enforce on your child's own device. Location sharing requires each member's consent and device permission. RootLock is not a substitute for supervision or emergency services. In an emergency, always call 911.

What’s new
Version 1.3 · Updated October 29, 2026
Where they've been, smarter places, and limits that explain themselves. • Location history. See any day from the last 30: where each person stopped, for how long, and every drive in between, on a map. • Places, rebuilt. Search for an address or business, drop a pin, or use someone's current location. Size the circle on the map, add a place for several people at once, and see your places on the family map. • Arrival checks on the days you choose. Get an alert if someone isn't at school, practice or anywhere else by a set time, on just the weekdays you pick. No more Saturday alerts. • Daily limits. Give an app or a whole category a daily allowance, like "Games, 1 hour a day". When it's used up, those apps pause until midnight. • A blocked-app screen that explains itself. Kids now see why an app is paused and when it comes back, like "School · back at 3:10 PM", with an "Ask for more time" button. • Answer requests from Home. When a child asks for more time, allow 15 minutes, 30 minutes or an hour right from Home. • Phone status alerts. Find out if a child's phone stops reporting for a day, or if location, Screen Time or notifications get turned off. • Activity for everyone. See the whole family's day in one timeline, filter it by places, drives, protection or check-ins, and tap any row for the details. • Driving recap. Each trip is named by where it started and ended, with a miles-per-day chart and a weekly summary every Sunday. • Device rules. Turn off new app downloads, or stop apps from being deleted and reinstalled to get around a rule. • For kids: a "Right now" card that shows what's paused and until when, quick messages like "Running late" and "Pick me up", and a one-tap emergency call after an SOS. • Notification settings. Choose which alerts you get, and set quiet hours. SOS and crash alerts always come through. • Parent guides in the app for Roblox, YouTube, Instagram, Snapchat, TikTok and Discord. Plus fixes: a stricter, more accurate driving score, a sign-out PIN that locks after repeated wrong tries, and no more "Saved" when you close the app picker without changing anything.
