BackToLife Parent

BackToLife is the parental control app that doesn't block social media—it just removes the addictive parts. Your child can keep using Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, and X to connect with friends, but without Reels, without Shorts, without infinite scroll, and with the schedules you choose right from your phone.

WHY IT'S DIFFERENT

Blocking everything causes arguments at home. Tracking screen time changes nothing. What hooks teenagers isn't social media itself; it's the infinite videos and recommendations designed to keep them trapped. BackToLife removes exactly that and leaves the rest: chatting with friends, searching, and learning.

WHAT YOU CAN DO FROM YOUR PHONE

✓ Different filters for each network: on Instagram, hide Reels and Explore; on YouTube, hide Shorts, comments, subscriptions, or the home feed; on TikTok and X, hide the infinite video feed. You choose which ones, network by network.
✓ Schedules: set different rules for school days and weekends.
✓ Block apps on your child's phone whenever needed.
✓ See real-time screen time: how long, when, and on which network, week by week.
✓ Manage multiple children under the same account.

Your child cannot deactivate the filters. On their phone, they will see: "Filters are managed by your parents."

GETTING STARTED TAKES 2 MINUTES

WHO IT IS FOR

For moms and dads who are about to give their child their first phone or first social media accounts and want to do it right from the start. Also for families where screen time is already a battleground, and neither built-in phone limits nor traditional parental control apps have worked.

NO SPYING

BackToLife does not read private messages or conversations. You see the usage (time and apps), not the content. Because parenting isn't about surveillance.

BackToLife Parent requires a subscription. Download the app and try it out.
