TaskBlue or OurPact? A comparison for parents
OurPact suits you if you want to manage your child's screen time, apps and location from your own phone. TaskBlue suits you if you want distracting apps locked at set times or places, without an app of your own and without looking into your child's phone.
As of: October 2026
What is OurPact?
OurPact is a parental control app from the US company Eturi. Parents use their own app to decide when and how long their child uses an iPhone or Android device: a daily allowance, block schedules for school and bedtime, rules for single apps, a web filter and a family locator. On the child's device, the companion app OurPact Jr. shows which times currently apply.
Where OurPact is strong
- Built around the iPhone from the start
- Daily allowance, block schedules and app rules in one parent app
- Up to 20 child devices per plan and a 14-day free trial
