- Worth noticing
- The Kids version does not block access; it pairs screen-time logs with a parent password and a take-along card for optician visits.
Field notes
The adult app is described as delaying a reminder when someone is mid-sentence and staying quiet during calls; users can also pause it with one click. For children, the page describes age-based screen-time guidance, a parent log, and collectible rewards rather than access blocking. Opticians can offer families a branded download page and QR code, while the site says the pilot is recruiting independent practices.
