Concept preview. CleanUnlock is in development.
The rule holds every day, even on your worst day, without you having to be the enforcer.
Same room. A few minutes later.
The first scan says not yet. After a tidy, the second scan unlocks their apps. Concept preview.
Seeing your child take pride in doing it themselves, and being the one who notices.
How it works
You set the standard
Snap the room as it is today and give it a score. Choose which apps lock, and when.
They tidy and scan
When they want their apps, they tidy up and do a quick guided camera sweep.
Apps unlock
Pass, and their apps open straight away. Miss, and they get a silly nudge to try again.
One less thing to police. Evenings get calmer because the checking is done for you.
Fail screens they'll actually laugh at
You choose how silly the nudges get. They poke fun at the mess, never at your child.
The monster under your bed just moved out. It said it was too messy.
Scientists have scanned your room. They found 0% floor.
A family of raccoons viewed your room and said no thanks.
You get to be the good guy again. The app says “not yet”; you say “well done”.
Kind, private, and on your side
Photos never leave the device
The scan is checked on your child's iPhone or iPad and the image is deleted straight away. Photos of your child's room are never uploaded.
Built on Apple's Screen Time
Uses the parental controls Apple builds into iPhone and iPad, set up in a couple of minutes.
Earning, not surveillance
We don't read messages, filter websites or track location. It's a reward loop, not a monitoring app.
Screen time you can relax about, because it was earned by doing something good first.
I got sick of being the naggy parent and getting nowhere.
I'm Oli, and my two kids are sporadic with tidying at best. But they love YouTube, so I figured they should earn it, without seeing me as the gatekeeper. I wanted something positive I could set up once and have verified: their good behaviour gets rewarded, I'm no longer the clean-room police, and they don't need me looking over their shoulder.
Oli, ex-Apple, founder and parent of two. CleanUnlock is in development now, and founding families help shape it.
Feeling like the parent you want to be, with a routine that’s clearly working.
How the £5 deposit works
- 1
It reserves your founding spot. You'll get early access and an exclusive founding-family fail-screen pack.

Your first year is £34.99 all-in: today's £5 plus £29.99 at launch. That's 30% off the £49.99 standard price. After that it's £49.99 a year, fixed for as long as you stay subscribed, even if the price goes up for new families. Subscribing is your choice; nothing renews from this deposit.
- 3
It's refundable in full, any time before launch. Email us and it's back within 14 days. If we're not on the App Store by Easter 2027, every founding family is refunded automatically.
About £4.17 a month. Try it free until your child has tidied three times. Founding families pay £29.99 for their first year.

Questions
- What ages is it for?
- Children aged roughly 5 to 15.
- Does it work on Android?
- No. It's iPhone and iPad only, so everything can run privately on the device.
- Can my child cheat the scan?
- The scan uses the live camera only, so old photos won't work. You can always approve or override a result yourself.
- Is it a monitoring app?
- No. If you use a safety app, keep it. CleanUnlock is the part that makes screen-time rules feel like a game.
