The phone that finally makes sense for your parents
A handful of apps, nothing to get lost in, nothing to accidentally install. Set it up once from your Mac, and it stays exactly as you left it.
Free for the first phone · works on the iPhone they already have

What stays
Phone, Messages, FaceTime, Photos, the camera, Music, Mail if wanted. It stays their iPhone; everything familiar keeps working normally.
What goes
The App Store, the browser and its scam links, password popups, and every screen that exists only to get lost in.
This is the grandma phone mode; every list is yours to change, or build their screen yourself.
What it fixes
No accidental installs. No popups asking for passwords. No browser for scam links to open in. Just calls, messages, photos and maps, laid out simply and locked so it stays that way.
Everything they love still works
FaceTime with the grandkids, the camera, the photo library. It's their iPhone, minus the parts that get them lost.
Big icons, if they help
Apple's Assistive Access mode turns the phone into large tiles. It can only be enabled on the phone itself (Apple's rule, for every vendor), so the Mac app walks you through it step by step for the easy preset, including the exit passcode that stays with you.
Keep an eye out, without spying
Coming with the cloud tier: see that the phone is charged and was seen today, and fix things from your own phone instead of driving over. Battery and reachability, never messages, never location without consent.
Honest limits
- Setup erases the phone once; photos back up first, and the setup walks you through it
- You need a Mac for setup and changes
