What KidsNanny is
KidsNanny is a parental control app for managing children’s screen time, apps, websites, YouTube access, location, and digital safety. Parents can set schedules, filter content, block apps, review activity reports, and control websites by domain or category. Supported browsing history can be reviewed, and YouTube access can be managed by allowing or blocking channels.
Screen Scanner periodically checks a child’s screen for potential safety risks and can alert parents when configured concerns are detected. WhatsApp Shield can flag risky messages or media and remove configured harmful content. Camera Shield can detect potentially inappropriate visuals during supported camera or video-call activity and take protective action. Location features include real-time tracking, history, geofences, entry and exit alerts, and child Check-In. Parents can assign tasks and let children redeem earned points for extra screen time.
KidsNanny supports Android, iPhone, iPad, Mac, and a parent web dashboard, though feature availability varies by platform. A Basic free version is available, alongside a 7-day trial and paid plans: $35.00 per year or $5.00 per month.
