Pinwheel Caregiver

Caregiver controls for a Pinwheel phone

Pinwheel Caregiver is the companion app for adults managing a Pinwheel smartphone used by a child. It gives parents and caregivers a central place to shape which contacts, apps and phone functions are available, making it suited to families introducing a first phone or building clearer technology routines.

Choose contacts and apps

The app lets you approve the phone numbers a child can call or text. You can also select which supported apps are enabled on the Pinwheel phone. Because app access is managed by the caregiver rather than through an open app store, parents can keep choices aligned with the child’s age and household rules.

Set schedules and routines

Time-based permissions help you decide when particular contacts and apps can be used. This can support different settings for school, evenings or other parts of the day. Custom checklists are available for recurring activities such as getting ready for school, bedtime, chores and music practice, giving children a clearer way to work through daily responsibilities.

Built for ongoing supervision

Depending on the connected Pinwheel setup and services in use, caregivers can view the phone’s live status and review text history. The app is designed to work alongside the Pinwheel phone rather than as a general parental-control tool for any device.
