What they do

Problem

Parents need a way to give children a smartphone while restricting unsafe or distracting apps, communications, and web access and monitoring usage and location.

Solution

An Android parental-control app with a locked-down child mode and web-based remote management for approving calls/apps, setting schedules and limits, monitoring activity, and GPS tracking.

Who it's for

Parents or guardians who provide Android phones to their children and want to manage and monitor their device usage.
