Blocking URLs using ScreenCoach on iOS


Blocking URLs using ScreenCoach.


You can block/allow certain urls browsed through Safari.


Here's a breakdown of how to achieve this:



What you can block:


  • ScreenCoach can partially block URLs accessed through Safari.


How it works:


  • Websites browsed through Safari are recorded in ScreenCoach using iOS's ScreenTime API.
  • Due to privacy restrictions, not all URLs are captured.


What you can do with recorded URLs:


  • You can add them to either an "Always Allowed" list or an App Category (which can be blocked/allowed under a specific mode)


Steps to block URLs:


  1. On your Parent Device > Open ScreenCoach
  2. Go to "Settings" from the tab bar at the bottom.
  3. Choose "Modes".
  4. Select the mode where you want to add a website to allow / block
  5. Go to Apps tab and choose the OS
  6. A list of apps will appear.
  7. Search for the website using keywords. If found, select it.
  8. Tap "Done" to add the website to the Mode



Alternative Method:


  • You can also manually scroll and search through the app list to see if the website is recorded.


Please note:


  1. Adding an app or website to always allowed category, will make the website/app available anytime without any restrictions.
  2. To block a website/app or to allow a website/app in a particular mode, add it to the corresponding Allow/Block section inside the mode.
