Bedtime lock
Set a bedtime window such as 9:30 PM – 7:00 AM. The phone locks automatically every night in your family's time zone. Off until you turn it on.
Features
Parental controls that work on your child's phone, not just on paper
You make the rules on your phone. SafeParent enforces them on your child's Android phone within seconds — and keeps enforcing them when the app is closed.
Remote lock
Lock your child's phone remotely, in one tap
When it's time for dinner, homework or sleep, tap Lock phone on your phone. Their phone locks right away and locks again every time they unlock it, until you tap Unlock.
- Instant — no waiting for your child to put the phone down
- Works wherever they are, over Wi-Fi or mobile data
- Emergency calls from the lock screen keep working
App blocker
Block apps, or give each one its own limit
SafeParent lists the apps installed on your child's phone. Switch off the ones you don't want — games, social media, video apps — and they send your child straight back to the home screen.
- Block or allow any app individually
- Per-app daily limits, e.g. 30 minutes of YouTube a day
- Allowed hours, e.g. games only after 5 PM, on the days you choose
- You're alerted when a new app is installed or one is removed
Screen time
Daily screen time limits and clear usage reports
Choose how much phone time they get each day. When it's used up, apps lock until tomorrow. Reports show exactly where the time went — today, this week and this month — broken down by app and category.
- One daily limit for the whole phone
- Most-used apps and category breakdown
- “Can I have more time?” — your child sends a request for +15, +30 or +60 minutes and you approve or deny from your phone
Location
Kids location tracker with geofence alerts
See where your child's phone is on a map, look back over the last 7 days, and get notified when they arrive at or leave the places that matter — home, school, tuition, a friend's house.
- Live location with a “LIVE” badge when it was updated in the last few minutes
- 7-day location history
- Geofences with arrive / leave notifications
- Battery level at a glance — see their phone's battery and whether it's charging on your dashboard, with an alert at 20% and 10%
And also
The details that make it work day to day
Web filter for kids
Block whole categories — adult content, gambling, violence & weapons, social media, online games and shopping — using a private VPN on the phone, so it isn't limited to one browser.
Emergency contacts
Save up to 3 numbers. During bedtime or screen-time locks your child can still call them in one tap from SafeParent.
Alerts on your phone
Push notifications for time requests, geofence arrivals and departures, new or removed apps (as soon as they're installed), low battery on your child's phone (at 20% and 10%), and any permission your child switches off.
Up to 5 children
One subscription covers the family. Switch between children on your dashboard; each has their own rules.
Works when the app is closed
Blocking and locks run on the child's phone itself. New-app and low-battery alerts are sent as they happen, and the phone checks in with your dashboard about every 15 minutes, so you're not relying on your child keeping SafeParent open.
