Agree on the moment
Choose when shared time begins and how long it should last, with meals as a natural use case.
In development
Less screen.
More family.
Famtid is a calm iPhone concept for helping families put their phones down and be more present together — especially around meals.

Concept, not a final product. Famtid is still in development. The interface and feature set may change as the idea is tested and refined.
The idea
Make room for time together.
Famtid is built around a shared agreement rather than classic parental control. The intention is simple: when the family chooses time together, everyone participates on the same terms.
Choose your own pause
Each person decides which apps and interruptions should step back while Famtid is active.
Be together
The active view stays intentionally quiet and reminds the family what the pause is for: more presence, not more screen time.
Product principle
Agreement, not control.
The concept deliberately avoids surveillance, rankings and shame. Famtid is meant to support a shared family choice, not turn screen use into a competition.
Adults and children take part on the same terms.
The family decides together when Famtid applies, instead of one person monitoring everyone else.
Less attention to the app itself.
The product direction is intentionally simple and discreet so the phone does not become the center of the family moment.
Privacy
Screen Time choices stay on the device.
The currently verified development build uses Apple Screen Time frameworks and opaque activity tokens to apply a manual shield. It has no SABONEX account, backend, analytics or app-owned persistent database for the selection.
Development status
Still being shaped.
Famtid is not publicly released. The examples on this page describe the current concept direction, not final feature commitments.
