Instead of a limit we use a Behavioral Pacing System — sessions and rest, a rhythm instead of a fight.
Every session has a horizon. When the time runs out, the app closes itself. A short rest follows. No reminders, no negotiation, no “Ask for More Time.” The boundary holds itself.
The whole system fits on a postcard. The shape of every interaction is the same: a session, a rest, a choice to begin again.
Pick the apps you want to manage per child. Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Snapchat, games. When your child opens one, a session begins.
When the session ends, the app locks. A short rest follows. No “Ask for More Time.” No negotiation at the kitchen table. The boundary holds itself.
To start a new session, your child holds the Sun for 1.5 seconds to charge it. That small friction breaks autopilot. Opening becomes intentional.
One plan, unlimited children. Adjust session lengths, rest periods, and app selections for each child remotely. Setup takes about five minutes per child.
Screen Time sets limits your kids negotiate around. Spyware watches what they type. Sundial does neither. It introduces a rhythm — and stays out of everything else.
We'll work with you personally to adjust your configuration until it does. Different session lengths. Different rests. Different apps. If we still can't make it work, we'll help you request a refund through Apple.
Pick the surface that pulls at you hardest. Both run on the same Behavioral Pacing System.
Sessions and rests across Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Snapchat, games. One plan, unlimited children.
