Family Shield gives parents calm control without spying: block distracting apps, set screen-time and bedtime schedules, keep calls to trusted contacts, filter unsafe web/incognito browsing, track live location and safe zones, and use SOS support when it matters.
Only available on Android. iOS/iPhone not supported yet.
Real Family Shield app screens from the child and parent Android experience — each one explained.
Phones are great for kids — until games, strangers, late nights and unsafe routes take over. Family Shield helps parents set clear boundaries while keeping children reachable.
One simple Android-only app for parents and children, fully managed from your phone or any browser — no ads and no data selling.
Allow or block any app in one tap, with a gentle “blocked” screen. Set per-app time limits, keep the Play Store locked (unlock for 5 minutes when you approve), get alerts on new installs, and switch on Focus mode so homework or chores come before games.
Daily limits, school-time rules and bedtime schedules wind the phone down to essentials automatically. With the Weekend Bonus Kitty, time your child doesn’t use on weekdays is saved up and unlocked as extra screen time on the weekend (Saturday 6am–Sunday 11pm) — a positive reward for self-control, shown to your child as it builds. If the phone is taken fully offline to dodge the rules, it locks to essentials (phone, SOS, torch) and alerts you — reconnecting restores everything.
A safe dialer lets your child call only approved contacts; new numbers need your approval and unknown incoming calls are screened. Start a consented video or voice call to your child right from your dashboard — free and secure, with no auto-answer.
See live location on a free map with a daily route timeline, and set home / school / tuition safe zones with confirmed enter & leave alerts. SOS and torch stay one tap away; SOS can share live location (and, with visible consent, camera / mic) for the emergency window. Optional high-speed driving alerts too.
Reduce unsafe browsing with web and incognito filtering. Get parent alerts for untrusted SMS and supported chat / social notifications, add keyword watch-words for bullying or grooming, and see YouTube titles & searches — separate from private messages, with a parent opt-out.
With your child’s on-screen consent, view their screen live from the parent app or browser — ideal for helping with homework. Handy Wi‑Fi, Bluetooth and Location buttons sit right on the child home, so reconnecting is one tap.
The parent app is protected by its own password, and you can invite a co-parent to help. A focused, parent-managed home shows only approved apps (consent-based and fully reversible), and one family code brings every child under a single dashboard.
Manage rules, contacts, location and live screen from any browser. See each child’s health at a glance (online, permissions, usage, battery), get a weekly digest instead of constant pings, and remotely remove a device when needed. Keep-alive beacons help phones stay online on aggressive Android brands.
No ads, no data selling, and Family Shield never reads your messages, photos or passwords. The free trial is tied to your family setup so reinstalling can’t reset it, and everything is fully reversible.
Every capability below was exercised on a parent (OnePlus) + child (Vivo) phone in one family.
Your child uses a safe dialer that lists only approved contacts. They can request a new number — it pops up on your phone to Approve or Deny — and unknown incoming calls are screened automatically.
Flip a switch on your phone and the child’s phone enforces it within seconds, with a gentle “blocked” screen.
Hit the daily limit or bedtime and the phone winds down to essentials. Try to dodge the rules by going fully offline and it locks to essentials and alerts you — reconnecting restores everything.
Free OpenStreetMap location with a daily route timeline and confirmed enter / leave alerts around home, school and more.
Filtering reduces unsafe sites and incognito attempts, and new app installs are surfaced for your review.
Open the Family Shield site to manage rules, view status, get removal codes or remotely remove a device when a phone is not nearby.
Use the same family code on each child’s phone and manage everyone from one roster — protected by your parent password, with an optional co-parent.
Start today, set up every paired child + parent device in your family, and decide after the free trial.
After the trial, one flat yearly price covers the family’s paired child and parent Android devices. No per-device surprises.

The important bits, in plain language.
By using Family Shield you agree to use it lawfully and only on devices you own or are the parent/guardian of. Family Shield is a parental-control tool intended to be installed with the knowledge of the family.
The app helps you manage a child’s device (app access, calls, screen time, bedtime, web filtering, install monitoring, location, safe zones and remote management). You are responsible for how you configure and use it, and for complying with the laws that apply to you.
The service is provided “as is”. We work hard to keep it reliable but cannot guarantee uninterrupted operation on every device or Android version. These terms may be updated as the app evolves; continued use after an update means you accept the revised terms.
To work, the app stores your family code, basic device info (model, Android version, battery, online status) and the rules you set. Location is used only to show your child’s position to you and to power safe-zone alerts — it is not sold or shared.
Diagnostic logs stay on the device and are only uploaded to support when you tap “Upload diagnostic logs” (or automatically after a crash, to help us fix it). Logs never contain your private content.
We do not run ads and we do not sell your data to anyone. Messages you send via the contact form are used only to reply to you.
You can stop using the app at any time by turning off protection with your rotating removal code and uninstalling it from your Android devices.
If you need billing help, use the contact form and we will review your request directly.
Family Shield is a privacy-first parental-control app for Android — helping parents keep children safe with app controls, a safe dialer, call screening, screen-time limits, web filtering, install monitoring, live location, safe zones, SOS and co-parent support.
