From your sentence to their adventure

One plan you can both see.

Start with the things that need doing today. Dragonlock gives them a place on the trail, and makes the finish line clear.

Make your bed, feed the cat, read for 20 minutes.

  1. Write the day.

    Type or dictate a sentence on your iPhone.

  2. Quests take shape.

    Review the chores and choose the days they repeat.

  3. The pet stands guard.

    Chosen apps wait behind Apple’s Screen Time lock.

  4. A photo shows it’s done.

    Photo checks help. Anything unsure comes to you.

  5. The chest opens.

    Finish the day’s quests. Apps open for the time you set, then lock again.

The rules are yours

A made bed.
A photo.
A little progress.

With your permission, the AI helper checks the photo against the quest. Clear passes can count straight away. An unsure answer comes to you.

  • Some things need a grown-up.A picture cannot prove 20 minutes of reading. You confirm those quests.
  • You can check every photo.Require your approval, or switch the AI helper off entirely.
  • Plans can change.Pause for a sick day, give bonus minutes or answer an ask for more time.

A world worth coming back to

The day ends with a small victory.

A pet on the trail. Runes lighting as quests are finished. A brass-bound chest opening when the work is done.

Your child gets an adventure. You get a view of what’s finished, what needs checking and how much time you’ve agreed on.

One family subscription covers up to four children, each with their own quests and pet.

Before the adventure

Questions from the grown-ups.

What do we need to use Dragonlock?

Your iPhone and your child’s own iPhone, both on iOS 26 or later and signed in to iCloud. Your child needs a child Apple Account in your Family Sharing group. You approve Screen Time on their phone with your Apple Account. Android is not supported.

Does my child really need a child Apple Account?

Yes. Dragonlock’s parental controls use Apple’s Screen Time through Family Sharing. Your child must be signed in to their own child Apple Account, not yours. Set this up before subscribing. The field guide walks you through it.

Who checks the photos?

With your permission, Claude, an AI by Anthropic (or sometimes Cloudflare Workers AI), checks a quest photo and its title. Clear passes can count automatically; unsure or failed checks come to you. AI can be wrong. You can require your approval for every photo, or turn the AI helper off entirely. Quests a photo cannot prove, such as reading for 20 minutes, need your confirmation.

What happens to our photos and private information?

Family data lives on your devices and in your family’s iCloud. If you allow the AI helper, photos are also processed by Anthropic (Claude) or Cloudflare (Workers AI), and quest text by TypeSafe (Jev), through our checker on Cloudflare. Photos expire after 7 days and are removed when Dragonlock next runs and syncs; expired photos are not shown again. There are no ads or cross-app tracking. Optional anonymous usage sharing is on the parent’s phone only. Read the privacy policy for the full details.

What happens when a phone is offline?

Existing Screen Time restrictions keep working. Photos wait on your child’s phone for a connection, and parent changes wait to sync. A new approval or extra time cannot reach an offline phone immediately. Keep both phones connected when you need a change to take effect.

How much does it cost? Is there a free trial?

The planned US prices are $49.99 per year, $14.99 per month or $7.99 per week. One subscription covers up to four children. There is no free trial. Plans renew automatically unless cancelled; local prices are shown before purchase. The subscription covers Dragonlock’s quests, photo checks, pet and family sync.

Can I pause it or give more time?

Yes. You can pause for a sick day, set free days, give bonus minutes and answer requests for more time. You choose which apps are guarded and how long the chest stays open. Dragonlock is a routine tool, not a safety or monitoring service.

Can two parents approve quests?

V1 has one parent phone managing the family. A second parent cannot approve from a separate phone yet. Each child has their own device, quests and pet.

What happens if I cancel?

Cancel in your iPhone’s Settings, under your name, then Subscriptions. You keep access for the period you paid for. When membership ends, after any applicable billing grace period, Dragonlock releases its app restrictions. Deleting the app does not cancel the subscription.
