The ctrl app

The Key locks.
The app understands.

The core app is free with every Key. No subscription. It holds your modes, your streak and your rules, and it answers to one thing only: your tap. iOS first, Android on the roadmap.

Family

Rules you set together.

Not surveillance. An agreement. Parents pair with their kids' devices and the family shares the same quiet hours: dinner, homework, night. Made at the table, kept by the app.

Shared quiet windowsDinner without screens, homework without the pull, nights that stay nights. For everyone, parents included.
Gentle remote lockWhen it is time, a parent can close the loud apps on a kid's phone from across the room, or across town.
Always reachableCalls, maps and the apps that matter stay open. A locked phone never means a child who cannot reach their parents.

An evening without the mirror

Less comparing.
More being you.

An open feed is a hall of mirrors. Curated bodies, curated kitchens, curated lives. For many women especially, every scroll quietly asks the same question: why does your life not look like this?

ctrl does not argue with that question. It simply closes the mirror for the evening. One tap, and what is left is your body, your kitchen, your life. They were never the problem.
