    Simple Finder alternatives and options

    For those of us who remember “Simple Finder” in Mac OS 8, and on through ~10.15. You could set a user account to login directly to Simple Finder where the desktop experience was greatly simplified, and you were presented with a screen of apps (similar to an iPad app screen) that you had...

    Google Family Link is great for Android devices, how are you all managing your families devices?

    I’m one of those mixed devices users, a rare breed these days. But recently I decided to stop using two phones and had to make the decision to eSIM my work line to my S24 Ultra or iPhone 15 pro. I choose to only use my iPhone 15 Pro and sell my S24 Ultra. Anyway my daughter has a Fitbit Ace...

    Universal Tweakbox - safe for kids?

    I have parental controls setup on my son's iPod and installing apps requires my consent. However, he's now been shown by a friend how to install Tweakbox by installing a profile (doesn't require parental consent).

    Parental controls and apps

    Hi all, My son received a new iPad as a gift, he's only 7 so I'm concerned about what he can access. His Dad is very lax when it comes to monitoring what he goes on when he's at his. I've put a lot of restrictions on already and limited the age etc but is there an app that exists where I can...

    General Password locking apps/folders

    I googled some and wasn't finding anything so I thought on the off chance someone here has discovered something, I'd ask: Is there any way to passcode-lock certain apps or even created passcode-locked folders? I'd like to allow my children to use the iPad but only use approved apps such as...
