Very cool; wondering if this could work as a parental control. "screen time" on iOS is fundamentally broken, and something like this would require the child to come to the parent for screen time extensions (if the parent has the NFC chip).

How is that different from the parent holding the code?

Screen time blocks are terrible

I use them myself to limit some websites that waste my time

It is way too easy to click on 1 more minute, or 15 mins or ignore for the day

The only way to really block sites is to add them as adult websites and turn on parental controls

But can’t do that with apps
