PhoneWatcher: Parental Control

PhoneWatcher is free parental control for families. Set screen time limits, block apps and unsafe websites, see where your child is and get alerts, all from your own phone. There is no subscription, no trial and no paid plan. PhoneWatcher has two apps: • PhoneWatcher (this app) is for parents. Install it on your own phone. • PhoneWatcher Kids goes on your child's Android phone or tablet. It is always visible to your child and shows them exactly what you can see. PhoneWatcher is a monitoring app for parents and legal guardians of children under 18. Only use it on a device you own or manage for your child. It must not be used to track or monitor any other person, such as a partner or another adult, even with their permission. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Screen time limits: a daily limit for each child, limits for games, video and social apps, and bonus time in one tap. • App blocker and approvals: block any app, give it a time limit, or keep it always allowed. New apps stay blocked until you approve them. • Web filter: block adult content, gambling, violence, drugs, dating, proxy sites, social media or games, and lock SafeSearch on. Your child can ask you to unblock a site they need for school. • Schedules: school time, homework, bedtime and family time. Calls and alarms always work. • Family locator: your child's location on a map, alerts when they arrive at or leave places you save (like home or school), "expected by" reminders, a day timeline of the last 7 days, SOS and low-battery alerts, and live location for up to an hour when you ask for it. • Requests: your child asks for more time, an app or a website, and you answer with one tap. • Alerts: late-night use, new apps, blocked sites, SOS, and a warning if protection is turned off on the child's phone. • Parent PIN: unlocks parent settings on your child's phone. • Web panel: manage everything from any browser at phonewatcher.app/panel with the same account. WHAT PHONEWATCHER COLLECTS ON YOUR CHILD'S PHONE PhoneWatcher Kids collects screen time per app, the list of installed apps, the names of blocked websites your child tried to open, and the phone's location, including in the background (when the app is closed or not in use) for place alerts, the family map, the timeline, SOS and live location. Location can be turned off. PhoneWatcher never reads messages, photos, calls or passwords, and never sells data. BUILT ON TRUST PhoneWatcher Kids is never hidden. It shows a permanent notification, a clear "What's shared" page, and a banner whenever live location is on. Kids can ask instead of finding workarounds. GETTING STARTED 1. Create your free account in this app (with your email or Google). 2. Add your child: name and birth year. PhoneWatcher suggests limits and filters for that age. 3. Install PhoneWatcher Kids on your child's phone and connect it: sign in there as the parent, or scan the QR code from this app. PRIVACY Activity and location history is deleted after 30 days. You can delete a child's data or your whole account at any time in the app or at phonewatcher.app/panel/delete-account.
