Family Protector: Screen Time

Family Protector helps parents manage their children's screen time and protect them online — with full transparency, no hidden monitoring.

⚠️ Family Protector is exclusively for parents or legal guardians monitoring their own children's devices. The app is not designed for tracking adults. A persistent notification is always shown on the child's device whenever monitoring is active — your child will always know the app is running.

Built for busy parents, Family Protector lets you set screen time limits, lock devices remotely, and view app usage in real time — all from your own phone.

🛡️ KEY FEATURES

• Screen Time Management

Set daily screen time limits. When the limit is reached, the device locks automatically.

• Remote Device Lock

Lock your child's device instantly from the parent app.

• App Usage Monitoring

See which apps your child is using and for how long.

• Real-Time Notifications

Get notified when screen time limits are reached or the child's device goes offline.

• Secure Parent-Child Linking

Accounts are securely linked via a unique code. Only the linked parent can control the child's device.

• Always-On Monitoring with Persistent Notification

The monitoring service runs continuously and is always disclosed via a persistent notification on the child's device. Auto-restarts after reboot — no gaps in protection.

👨‍👩‍👧 HOW IT WORKS

1. Parent installs the app and registers a Parent account.

2. Child installs the app on their device and registers a Child account using the parent's link code.

3. Parent grants Device Administrator permission on the child's device (one-time setup, fully disclosed).

4. The parent dashboard is now live with full controls.

🔒 PRIVACY & SECURITY

• All data is stored securely in Google Firebase with strict access rules — parents only see data for their own linked devices.

• No data is sold or shared with third parties.

• Child device data is only accessible to the linked parent account.

• App backups are disabled for added security.

⚖️ CONSENT & RESPONSIBLE USE

Family Protector is designed exclusively for parents or legal guardians monitoring devices they own or are legally responsible for. The child must be informed that the app is installed and monitoring their device. Do not install on devices belonging to other adults — this app is not intended for tracking spouses, employees, or any other adults.
