Hi Product Hunt! 👋 I'm Johnny, a dad of two (4 and 6).

TentFox started as a very simple idea to get our kids to hand the phone back without friction. You know when you let them look at photos/videos of themselves, snap some photos, or watch something on your phone… and then never want to hand it back?

Now they tuck a little fox in for a nap, say goodnight, and hand it back. It then grew into a calming timer, and a feature that turns phones-down family time into a fun little challenge.

Three ways to use it:

🦊 Fox's Nap: the fox curls up in his tent; your little one picks his blanket and plush gecko, says goodnight, and the phone comes back. Free.

⛺ Camp: put your phone face-down for dinner or family time and the fox keeps camp, finding little gifts along the way.

🌙 Burrow: a cozy focus timer. The fox digs, drinks, naps and chases the odd beetle while you work.

A few things I cared about: no ads, no account, nothing collected about kids, and the kids' screens have no links or purchases. Nothing ever takes progress away: picking the phone up early still counts. The fix is grudge-free even if you fail and pick your phone up before the camp session us up.

New in version 2.0 that just went live: a free first week of the extras of my favorite features of the app (cozy blanket, plush gecko, snowy desert).

I'd love your constructive feedback, especially from parents. 🙏
