Development availability

OurMinutes is a shared screen-time wallet and timer for iPhone and iPad. It is in development and has no public download yet. Features and availability may change.

Your family agreement

Caregivers choose allowances, participants, sessions and corrections. Minutes are a record of your household agreement and have no monetary value. A minute of participation normally uses one minute from each participating child’s balance; a parent may approve a free family session.

OurMinutes records what the family enters. It cannot verify who is watching or measure time that was not recorded. Caregivers remain responsible for operating the TV or console and following through when a session ends. The app does not block devices, provide remote supervision or guarantee notification delivery.

Household records and recovery

Your household records remain yours. Use names or nicknames appropriate for a shared device, and keep the parent recovery code in a safe place. Review receipts and correct mistakes with a reason.

Keep a household backup outside the app if you need recovery from device loss or app deletion. Backups contain family information. Restore replaces the current household after confirmation; it does not merge records or provide ongoing synchronization. Parent credentials are separate from household backups.

Privacy and contact

Read the privacy page for data handling and the support page for session, access and backup instructions. Send questions to ysh@yishanhe.net.
