Your Control Centre
Everything in one place — and one tap to the controls that matter.
The moment you join, this is your home base: clear screen-time guidance for your child's age, a family agreement you can build in two minutes, and a tick-along list that takes you straight to the real settings on every device and app. You stay in control — nothing is ever installed on your child's phone.
Screen-time guidance
How much is reasonable? Start here.
Pick your child's age for a calm, realistic starting point — not a rigid rule. You know your child; this gives you a sensible anchor and what matters most at this stage.
Guidelines, not guarantees. The aim is balance and good habits — not a stopwatch.
Family agreement
Build your screen-time agreement in two minutes.
Set a few simple rules together. We turn them into a clean agreement you can print and put on the fridge — no child details needed.
Phone-free zones
Control launchpad
One tap to the controls that already exist.
These are the free controls built into your devices and broadband. We show you exactly where each one is and take you straight there — you flip the switches, we never touch your child's device.

No control catches everything — and the clever ones get round them. That's why your plan pairs these settings with the conversations and playbooks that do the heavy lifting.
Each button opens the official, free setup page in a new tab. Bearings doesn't install anything or see your child's device.
