safeT1D School Mode

For students with type 1 diabetes: the CGM, pump and parent contacts stay on during class. Everything else waits for the bell.

safeT1D on the student's iPhone: "Hi, Amelia!", the shield buddy in a ring that fills through the school day, School Mode ON, done at 2:01 PM, the Dexcom G7 and Tandem Mobi app tiles, and a yellow Ask a grown-up button.
Student's iPhone
The parent's iPhone showing a yellow card: Amelia asks to end School Mode now, with Not now and Approve buttons above a blue School Mode ON status card.
Parent's iPhone
The screen a blocked app shows: School Mode is on. Weather is resting until 2:01 PM. Your diabetes apps and parent contacts still work. OK.
Any other app

Medical apps on. Everything else waits.

During school hours the phone keeps only what you choose: the CGM app, the insulin pump app and parent contacts. Every other app shows a friendly "resting until 3:00" screen.

The student's home screen after asking: the Ask button has turned into a yellow Waiting for a grown-up bar with a cancel button.

One button for your child.

No settings to fiddle with. Your child sees whether School Mode is on, when it ends, which apps work, and one big Ask a grown-up button.

The parent's view of Amelia: a blue School Mode ON card, Test session running, and control tiles for End now, School hours, Schedule off and Unlock 10 min.

You decide, from your own iPhone.

See School Mode's status and when the phone last checked in. Approve or deny requests, end School Mode, run a test or change school hours remotely. Because it runs through Family Sharing, your child can't remove it alone.

The parent's Requests list: End School Mode now, done; Amelia asked to end School Mode, approved by Luke Simpson; Start 16-minute test session, done.

Every answer, with a name.

Link more than one parent or caregiver. Every request is logged with who answered it and when.

The safety check in grown-up settings: All 5 done, CGM app allowed, Pump app allowed, Phone & Messages, Always Allowed set, Alarm test passed.

A safety check before it starts.

School Mode won't start without a medical app. A short checklist walks you through allowing the CGM and pump apps and testing that alarms still arrive.

What you need

Needs Apple Family Sharing.

safeT1D works through Apple's Family Sharing, so your child can't turn School Mode off without you. You need:

  • Your child's iPhone, signed in to their own child Apple Account.
  • That account in your Family Sharing group.
  • safeT1D on your own iPhone, for parent controls.

Not set up yet? See Apple's guides to set up Family Sharing and create your child's Apple Account.

Private by design.

  • Never reads glucose readings or any other health data.
  • No sign-up, ads, analytics or tracking.
  • Everything stays on your family's devices and in your own iCloud. We can't see it.

safeT1D is a parental-control tool, not a medical device. It doesn't replace your CGM's alarms or your child's school health plan.
