Hand them the device.
Without the dread.

I'm Patrick — an Apple developer who builds parental-control apps for a living. I'll come to your home in the Phoenix area and set up your kid's iPhone or iPad the way it should be done. Properly. Patiently. In plain English.

01 · Why trust this

Built by a parent who builds parental controls.

Patrick, Daria, and our three kids — the Lion family
Patrick, Daria, and our three kids.

I'm Patrick Adams, founder of Lion Software, LLC, and a dad of three. I build the iOS apps you might know us for — Lion Browser, Lion Family, Lion for YouTube, and Lion AI — used by thousands of families across the country.

Everything I build, I build with my own kids in mind first. The same setup I'll do at your house is the one I've done at mine.

After years of building these tools, I kept hearing the same thing from parents: “I bought my kid an iPhone, but I have no idea if I set it up right.” Apple's parental controls are powerful — and confusing. Most families never use even half of what's available.

So I'm doing what I wish someone had done for me: I'll come to your home and set it up properly. No upsell pressure. No surveillance pitch. Just an honest, careful setup — done by someone who genuinely understands the underlying technology because he writes the code against it every day.

05 · Questions

Common questions.

How long does the visit take?
60–120 minutes depending on plan and number of devices. I block 2-hour windows to be safe.
Do you need access to my child's device?
Yes — we configure it together. You set the parent passcode at the end. I never have your codes after I leave.
What about Android?
I focus exclusively on Apple devices because that's what I know deeply. Happy to refer you elsewhere for Android.
Can these controls be bypassed?
Honestly? A determined teenager can find ways around any system. The point isn't to build a fortress — it's to remove easy temptation, raise the friction, and create the conditions for healthy habits and real conversations between you and your kids.
Is my family's data shared with anyone?
No. Lion's apps are privacy-first by design — we don't sell or share family data. I never collect anything beyond what's needed to schedule and run your visit.
What if I need help after the support window ends?
Tune-up visits are $129. One-off support calls are $49. Or upgrade to the Concierge plan for unlimited support all year.
Payment methods?
Stripe — Visa, Mastercard, Amex, Apple Pay. Pay when you book.
What if I'm not sure which plan I need?
Use the contact form below or just text me — we'll figure it out together.

Service testimonials coming soon — be one of the first to leave one.

I've used several accountability apps and this is the best for Apple products I've seen. Price, quality, and functionality — all five stars.
SalesGuy2.0
This app is designed very well. It holds to Apple's design philosophy of simplicity and cleanliness. Great app guys!
Vessel201
Out of all the accountability options for iOS, Lion is the best. Simple setup, browser functions on-par with Safari, and beautiful user-interface.
