KidMoat: Parental Control App

KidMoat is an Android parental control app for kids and teens that helps parents set screen time limits, block distracting apps, filter unsafe websites and see their child’s location.

Manage screen time, app blocking, web filters and safe-zone alerts from one parent dashboard. Reward children for following agreed rules.

SCREEN TIME LIMITS AND APP BLOCKER

• Set a daily screen time limit for each child

• Use the app blocker to allow, limit or block individual apps

• Set bedtime rules

• Switch between Normal, Weekend, Holiday, Exam Day, Sick Day and Screen-Free Day modes

• Approve or deny requests for extra time and new app installs

• Lock your child’s phone remotely when it is time for a break

• Keep emergency and always-allowed apps available

WEBSITE BLOCKER AND WEB FILTER

• Filter websites across browsers and apps on the child’s phone

• Choose Off, Moderate or Strict web filtering

• Help block adult, gambling, drugs, dating, violence and hate-speech categories

• Add your own allowed and blocked websites

• Review allowed and blocked websites

CHILD LOCATION AND SAFE ZONES

• Check your child’s latest location and its update time

• Review their location history

• Create scheduled safe zones, or geofences, for home, school or a grandparent’s house

• Receive geofence alerts when your child enters or leaves a safe zone

SCREEN TIME AND APP USAGE REPORTS

• View daily and weekly screen time reports by app

• Review apps installed on the child’s device

• Receive device health and tamper alerts

• Manage multiple children with support for co-parent access

REWARD HEALTHY DIGITAL HABITS

Children earn coins for following agreed screen time rules, build a streak and redeem their coins for real-world rewards selected by the parent.

They earn on the screen and spend it away from the screen.

HOW KIDMOAT WORKS

1. Install KidMoat on the parent’s Android phone.

2. Add your child and pair the child’s Android device.

3. Set screen time, app, web-filter and location rules from the parent app.

KidMoat is built for transparent family supervision of a parent’s own minor children. It is not intended for secret use on adults, partners or employees.

Required permissions:

## ACCESSIBILITY SERVICE — REQUIRED

KidMoat requires Android's AccessibilityService API for these features on the child's device:

• Block restricted apps

• Enforce time limits & schedules

• Apply category rules

It's the only Android API that detects app launches the instant they happen. Without it, blocks and time limits can't be enforced in real time — a kid could open a restricted app for many seconds before any other API would notice.

Data accessed: only the foreground app's package name. KidMoat does not read screen content, on-screen text, passwords, messages, or any other on-screen information. Package names are matched against your rules on-device and recorded in screen-time activity synced to your KidMoat parent account so you can see which apps were used. Activity is sent only to your account — never sold or shared with third parties.

## VPN SERVICE — REQUIRED

KidMoat requires Android's VpnService API to run an on-device safe-browsing filter:

• Filter websites — block inappropriate sites in the categories you enable

• Safe browsing — prevent navigation to harmful domains across all browsers and apps. Data accessed: only the domain names.

KidMoat does not read page contents, messages, form data, passwords, or search terms. Your child's internet traffic is not routed through any KidMoat server — non-blocked domains go to a standard public DNS resolver.
