Kiddo Safe: Parental Control

Kiddo Safe is a parental control app for your kid's Android phone or tablet. You set the rules right on their phone, behind your parent PIN: block apps and adult websites, switch off YouTube Shorts, and set time limits and a bedtime. No second phone and no sign-up. Kip, our friendly shield buddy, does the guarding. When something is blocked, Kip tells your kid why in kind, simple words, so there's less arguing and no scolding. HOW IT WORKS Install Kiddo Safe on your kid's phone and answer a few questions about what worries you most. In about 6 minutes it builds a plan and switches each protection on with you, step by step. After that, you manage everything on your kid's phone with your PIN. There's no parent app for your own phone, and each phone is set up for one kid.

YOUR PRIVACY Screen time, check-ins and the pages Kiddo Safe checks stay on your kid's phone. No ads, and we never sell data. PERMISSIONS Kiddo Safe uses Android's Accessibility Service to see which app is open so it can block the apps you chose, to read web addresses, page titles and words on web pages so it can cover adult pages, to press Back on the short-video feeds you blocked, and to keep itself from being switched off when Uninstall protection is on. Device admin is used for Uninstall protection, and Usage access for screen time and time limits. You choose each permission during setup.
