Screenable is a new app designed to help parents introduce their children to technology by transforming an iPhone or iPad into a starter phone with various modes tailored to different age groups. The "Dumb Phone" mode limits access to basic communication apps, while the "Screen Trainer" mode allows gradual independence with parental oversight. A forthcoming "Social Trainer" mode will introduce kids to social media responsibly, with custom install flows and parental controls. Created by the Clifton family, Screenable aims to promote healthy tech use without surveillance, operating on a freemium model with additional features available for a monthly fee. The app encourages using old smartphones for this purpose and envisions future features for family-wide tech breaks. Despite previous success with a different startup, the founders are bootstrapping Screenable to maintain control and gradual growth.
