Setup videos

Shannon walks through what Clann does for your family — the live map with battery levels, arrival alerts for school, home, and practice, driving trips door to door, and the gentle guardrail on the kids' phones: limits and bedtime that hold, a block screen that explains why, and one tap to ask for more time.

1. Your clann, live on the map
2. Arrival alerts, battery, driving trips
3. A gentle guardrail for the kids

The full setup, start to finish. Invite your child from your phone (six-letter code, QR, or share link — the invite lives for fifteen minutes). Join from their phone — under 12 needs no sign-in, teens sign in with Apple first. Then permissions one screen at a time: Location set to Always, Background App Refresh, Cellular Data. Finally the important one: a child account in your Apple Family, Screen Time on, Clann allowed, and the optional locks — each one explained, each one your call.

When Clann asks for location, iOS offers While Using first — say yes. Then the second question: change to Always? That's what puts your child on the map when the phone is locked, in a pocket, in a backpack across town. If the second prompt never showed, open Settings → clann → Location, choose Always, and keep Precise Location on. Then Background App Refresh and Cellular Data, so iOS never quietly puts Clann to sleep.

1. While Using first, then Always
2. If the prompt never came: Settings → clann → Location
3. Background App Refresh + Cellular Data

First, the foundation — and it happens on your phone: your child's Apple ID should be a child account in your Apple Family (Settings → your name → Family Sharing → Add Member). Then on their phone, turn on Screen Time and allow Clann's access when Apple asks for your approval. Skip the family step and Clann can only partly protect the phone. Then the locks — a Screen Time passcode, and locks on location, cellular, background activity, and account changes. When you're done, the protection summary tells you honestly what's locked and what's still open.
