KidLock: Parental Control

Lock the apps you choose, and let your child watch only the YouTube channels you approve. When a blocked app opens, KidLock covers it with a friendly screen, and only a grown-up can open it again. And your child can't simply uninstall it.

BLOCK THE APPS YOU CHOOSE

• Switch on any installed app, from games and browsers to social apps

• Your child sees a calm "This app is sleeping" screen with Lockie, our little lock, and a "Take me home" button

• Open a blocked app yourself with your PIN or fingerprint

• Choose how long an unlocked app stays open, and lock it again as soon as your child leaves

• Pause blocking in one tap when you want a break

• New apps are blocked as soon as they are installed. You get a notification, then keep it blocked or unlock it

NO SNEAKY UNINSTALLS

• Uninstall protection, free for everyone. Your child can't uninstall or force stop KidLock

• If someone tries to turn it off in phone settings, KidLock locks the screen

• You turn it off any time in KidLock settings, with your PIN

BEDTIME AND SCHOOL TIME

• Schedules cover the apps you pick at set times, like bedtime or school hours

• Videos in KidLock rest during a schedule too

• Bedtime and School time are ready to switch on, and you can add your own

• Schedules come with KidLock Pro

VIDEOS YOU APPROVE

• Pick the YouTube channels your child may watch, from our list of kids channels, or search or add one by link

• One simple feed of those channels, and nothing else

• Videos play in YouTube's own player

• Set a daily watch time. When it is used up, videos stop, and you can add 15 more minutes when you decide to

• Pause all videos whenever you like

ONLY GROWN-UPS GET IN

• The parent area is behind a PIN, with fingerprint if you want it

• No accounts and no sign-up. Your choices stay on your phone

FRIENDLY TO LOOK AT

• Bright, animated screens that feel like a game, not another app to argue about

• Five colorful looks. Playground is free, and the other four come with KidLock Pro

KIDLOCK PRO

• Schedules, unlimited channels (free includes up to 5), all five looks, and new features first

• A monthly or yearly subscription, cancel any time in Google Play. There is no one-time purchase

• KidLock itself shows no ads

PERMISSIONS, EXPLAINED

KidLock asks for two permissions that you turn on in Android settings. Usage access lets it see which app is open, and Display over other apps lets it show the lock screen on top of a blocked app. It uses them only for that, and it does not read what is inside other apps. If you turn on uninstall protection, KidLock also becomes a device admin. That stops it from being uninstalled or force stopped, and its only admin power is locking the screen when someone tries to turn protection off. A small background service keeps the lock running, so you will see a notification. On some phones you also need to let KidLock run in the background, and the setup walks you through it.

KidLock helps you set limits, and works best next to the rules you already have at home.
