We know that families need and love their connected devices, which makes turning them off - even sometimes - really tough. Screen was created to empower families to develop healthy screen habits, working with their kids to moderate time spent on devices to reconnect our most important social network - the family. Screen's hardware and software can seamlessly turn off electronic devices (including the TV and the game console!) from a mobile app, and show how and where devices are being used. Screen also grows with the family, allowing parents to introduce device use to the youngest children and adjust the way they're used as their needs change. Our families are all over the place after school and on weekends. That’s why Screen works wherever our kids and their devices go - school, home, soccer practice - anywhere. Screen also works regardless of where you are. Even at the office, you can know what your kids are doing, and also know long they’ve been using their devices. This way we can know whether it's time to have a conversation with the kids about their screen usage, or as a last resort, power them down remotely.
