What ParentProof is
ParentProof is a parental-control service for managing children’s screen time, apps, websites, and compatible devices from a browser dashboard. Parents can set schedules, per-app limits, whole-day budgets, app rules, and content filtering, with activity reports included. Android and macOS support schedules, per-app limits, and a whole-day budget; Windows supports scheduled pauses but not the per-app or whole-day controls. On Android, only parent-approved apps open, and parents can remotely pause devices and see confirmation. The Android tablet filter uses Cloudflare or AdGuard plus a daily-refreshed blocklist, though privately resolved lookups and raw numeric addresses can bypass it. Supported devices include Android phones and tablets, Windows PCs, and Macs. Children’s iPhones and iPads, Amazon Fire tablets, and Linux desktops are unsupported. Android setup requires a Windows PC or Mac, a USB cable, and usually a factory reset.
