Another parent can help when they use a paired parent role on their own device in the same family. Email caregiver invites are not part of the current app (coming later).
CloudKit + nearby sync
Settings travel through iCloud CloudKit, with optional nearby Multipeer Connectivity when devices are close.
Six-digit pairing codes
Pair devices with a short-lived six-digit code. The current app does not use QR camera pairing.

Questions, answered.
Which devices is ScreenBreak built for?
ScreenBreak is built for iPhone and iPad, using Apple’s Screen Time family of frameworks.
How do devices pair and sync?
Pair with a six-digit code. Family settings sync with CloudKit. Nearby devices can also sync over Multipeer Connectivity on the local network.
What happens when a device is offline?
Limits already applied on the child device continue to work offline. Sync catches up again when CloudKit or nearby connectivity is available.
Can another parent help?
Yes—when they use a paired parent role on their own device in the same family. Email caregiver invites are not in the current app.
