Replacing my MacBook Pro with an Apple Watch 😉

I’ve definitely wanted multiple accounts on iPads. For kids, what I want is closer to locked focus mode. E.g., I’d like to put the iPad in art mode which lets them use only the painting apps and no notifications.

Not quite what you want, but very very close:

Use Guided Access with iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support (CA)

Yes, if only Guided Access would let you swipe between two apps or something! You could make a case for that being useful at kiosks/businesses, too.

There is another option that might get close to what you need. With my kids, I used Screentime to lock out all but apps that they could use. I set the screen time window to some ridiculous time when they’d for sure be asleep (3 in the morning or something), and then just allowed a few apps to be accessible at all times. You can get pretty granular. I could also disable a lot of settings options so that they couldn’t change any critical sections (like passwords). I put all the apps they couldn’t use in a folder so they wouldn’t be distracting.
