ParentProof“We build ParentProof the way we would want it as parents ourselves: honest about what is confirmed, clear about what is only pending, and never pretending a setting worked before the device says so.

These ten codes are your only way back in. They are shown once and stored scrambled — nobody, including us, can read them back. Save them somewhere that is not the phone you just set up.
Your family dashboard is ready. Requests and device controls are unlocked.
One account choice
Turn on Parent Guard?
Add age ratings, categories and clear descriptions to unfamiliar apps so you can decide faster.
If you choose Not now, Allow and Block still work; unfamiliar apps stay Unreviewed.
One account choice
Turn on ParentProof AI filtering?
Automatically check addresses nobody has classified yet, so new and unfamiliar sites can be caught too.
If you choose Not now, your own Allow and Block rules and category settings still apply -- only the automatic check on unfamiliar addresses is off.
My Devices
To set up a new device, use a desktop computer.
Set up your first device
Use the ParentProof setup app on a Windows or Mac computer. Supported devices link to your family automatically.
Get the setup appPaired devices
Enter a computer installer code
Use this when a Windows or Mac installer shows an 8-character code. Codes last 15 minutes.
Installing without the setup tool (advanced)
Windows and Mac only. The double-click installer already does this for you — use this only for the command-line agent install.
Pair a tablet by QR
Show a code the tablet reads with its camera — nothing to type.
Who uses your devices
A profile is one person — a child, or you. You put a device on a profile from that device’s own screen.
Adding your family
Add a child
You can add more later. One profile per protected device.
Whatever you call them at home is fine.
Used once to suggest a starting app list. ParentProof does not ask for a birthday or save this choice.
What Archive and Delete do
Removing a profile deletes its settings with it and cannot be undone. A profile a tablet is using cannot be removed at all — put that tablet on another profile first, from the tablet’s own screen.
Your plan
Share with another parent
People in this household
Give the other parent this code. When they sign in and enter it, they see the same tablets and settings as you.
Outstanding invites
Privacy choices
These are off unless you turn them on.
Web filtering
ParentProof AI filtering
Automatically checks addresses nobody has classified yet against ParentProof's own categories -- there is only one filtering provider to choose, ParentProof itself.
Outside-AI classification is unavailable in the current release. This choice stays off.
If you choose Not now, your own Allow and Block rules and category settings still apply -- only the automatic check on unfamiliar addresses is off.
What this sends, and to whomApp intelligence
Parent Guard
Adds ratings and plain-language details to apps ParentProof has not reviewed yet.
Checking whether Parent Guard is available on this service…
Shares the app name, publisher or signing details, and a normalized install location for classification. Never a child, household or device identity.

Get a notification in this browser the moment your child asks to visit a new site.
A trusted device can approve a sign-in on another browser or phone with one tap, instead of typing a code.
Notification preferences

Change your password
Changing your password signs out every other device and browser on this account, right away. This one stays signed in.
Sign-in email
Changing this needs confirmation from both your current and new address, and signs out every other device once it takes effect.
Household activity

How to use this code
Who’s using it
A switch is not instant. This tablet checks in about every {sec} seconds and picks it up on its next check-in.
Pause and app-time details
Switching also resumes a pause made on the tablet and loses the last few minutes of app time that had not been counted yet.
What this tablet shows
Used only when no child profile is available for this device.
Ask the assistant
The assistant is unavailable in the current release. Use Apps, Websites and Schedules to make changes yourself.
Describe what you want changed for this child in your own words — a bedtime, a time limit on an app, a site to block. Nothing is saved until you confirm it.
Starter packs
A ready-made set of allowed apps, a bedtime, and a daily limit. Applying one only ADDS to what is below — it never removes or locks anything you already set.
Allowed apps
Allowed apps
This tablet has not told us what it can launch yet, so nothing here is checked against it.
If a newly installed app is missing, let the tablet check in and try the list again. ParentProof never asks you for an app’s technical identifier.
Always allowed
Always allowed
These stay open even while the tablet is resting — an alarm clock, or a way to call you.
If a newly installed app is missing, let the tablet check in and try the list again. ParentProof never asks you for an app’s technical identifier.
Daily limits
Choose an app from the list first.
On Windows a daily limit stops the program the next time it opens; nothing already running is closed. It is matched on the file name, not where it lives, so a rename or a copy starts a fresh budget — blocking one below is matched on the full path.
Categorize apps
Tag an app as educational or entertainment. This does not change what the tablet allows yet — it is groundwork for goals like “20 minutes of reading unlocks 20 minutes of YouTube.” You choose the category; nothing here judges an app automatically.
Choose an app from the list first.
Schedules
Protection on this tablet
All on by default. Turn one off only if it gets in your way.
Blocks many adult-site lookups in apps that use this tablet’s network settings. Browsers with their own secure DNS or VPN can bypass it.
Coverage and privacy
This service never sees what your child looks up and keeps none of it. The resolver you pick does see every name this tablet asks for — what it keeps is its policy, not ours.
The stronger control is the app list. What an allowed app opens inside itself is the app’s decision and not this tablet’s, so which apps can be opened at all is the one limit here that does not depend on how an app looks names up. This setting is not a device-wide filter — it only changes where names are looked up — so treat it as a speed bump rather than a wall.
The resolver you pick refuses to look up adult sites — and it does that by changing where the tablet looks names up, so it covers every app that uses the tablet’s own lookups, and only those. An app with its own resolver is not covered: Firefox has DNS-over-HTTPS on by default, Opera has a VPN built in, and a site opened by its raw IP address skips name lookup entirely. Needs Android 10 or newer.
This is not where you block one site. A website you can name goes on that child’s Websites list.
Off by default. Turning this on closes every other app on the tablet that can open a web page — including one installed later. ParentProof’s own browser is unaffected, and turning this off restores them.
Off by default. Turning this on disables the camera everywhere on the tablet, including inside allowed apps. Turn it off here to restore the camera.
Off by default. The browser appears only after you enable it and set at least one website or category rule.
Off by default. When on, this PC runs ParentProof's own name lookup service and every site you block here stops resolving — in every browser and every app that uses Windows' own lookups.
Normal is the PC's own Windows desktop, unchanged. Captive locks it to only the apps you choose — set up once at the PC itself, not from here. This never replaces Windows sign-in.
Screen viewing
Screen viewing
Not available in the current release. ParentProof keeps screen capture and remote help off until parent verification, access history, automatic deletion and the parent on/off switch are complete. If it is ever switched on, your child is not told and cannot refuse.
Why this is offYour child is not told when you look at their screen, and cannot refuse. Only you will know you looked.
Every request and every image you open is recorded in Household activity.
Unavailable in this release.
Close an app
Close an app
Sends the tablet home from whatever app is open right now.
Open an app
Open an app
Opens one app on the tablet right now, a single time. It does not change what your child is allowed to open on their own.
Open a website (override the filter)
Open a website (override the filter)
Opens this address on the tablet and lets it through, even if it would otherwise be blocked.
Unless checked, this override expires automatically after 24 hours.
Installed apps
Website safety
Find this tablet
Makes the tablet play a loud sound, on full volume, even if it is set to silent — the same "walk toward the noise" trick as a phone finder.
Give this tablet back
Turns off supervision on this tablet and hands it back to your child as a normal, unrestricted tablet — the same effect as using the in-app exit option or the USB unlock tool, just from here. Once the tablet confirms, it is also removed from your account.
Unlink this tablet
Safely removes restrictions first, then removes the tablet from this account.
The tablet stays linked until it confirms it is ready to pair again.
Only use this if the tablet is lost or cannot get online. ParentProof cannot confirm its restrictions were removed.
Technical details

Choose a child first
This screen is about one child’s decisions, and no child is chosen yet.
Apps
How app blocking works
Blocking makes an app disappear from your child’s home screen. It stays gone after they restart the device — it is not a nag they can tap past.
It does NOT delete the app or anything inside it. Saves, worlds, photos, chats and progress are untouched, and they all come back exactly as they were the moment you turn the block off.
It is not instant. The device checks in for its settings about every {sec} seconds, and a block lands the next time it does — so if the app is open right now, expect it to close within about that long rather than the moment you tap.
This list is what your child can see and open. Background programs — hundreds of them, on any computer — are not here: a list nobody can read is a list nobody uses.
Add an app
For an app that is not on the list above — including one nobody has installed yet. You choose it by name.
ParentProof never asks you for an app’s technical identifier — you always choose an app by name.
Choose a child first
This screen is about one child’s decisions, and no child is chosen yet.
Saved website rules
Device delivery
A whole-site Block rule reaches a compatible Android tablet, Windows PC, or Mac when web filtering is on and verified on that device. Allow rules can affect online ParentProof service checks, but exact-address or page rules are different: no device receives or enforces them, because a name lookup cannot see a page.
Web filtering is configured separately on each tablet.
How rules and automatic filtering work together
A rule you write here is the last word — checked before the automatic filtering and before anything on the Categories screen. An Allow always wins, even over a blocked category.
A very small set of hosts — tied to child sexual abuse material, malware command-and-control, or credential phishing — cannot be allowed by anyone, including a parent. An Allow for one of those is refused, not silently dropped.
Saved rules
Allow, Ask a parent, and Block stay separate so each decision is easy to review.
Removing a rule is not the same as allowing the site. It takes your decision away and hands the site back to the automatic filtering, which usually blocks it again for the same reason it did before. To open a site deliberately, add it with Allow instead.
Choose a child first
This screen is about one child’s decisions, and no child is chosen yet.
Categories
Category and automatic AI controls are unavailable in the current release. For a compatible Android device, add a whole-site Block rule under Websites and make sure web filtering is on for that device.
A category blocks a whole kind of site — gambling, adult content and more — even ones never seen on this screen before. It is checked before your child’s device asks about a specific site, so it is broader than a rule on the Websites screen but never overrides one: an Allow on the Websites screen still wins.
Family-safe web lookups is the one setting live everywhere today: any level above Off sends your family’s web lookups through a filtered service, and Standard and Strict do exactly the same thing there. The extra categories Strict adds are recorded and sent to your child’s devices, but nothing on a Windows PC or a Mac acts on this list yet.

Activity
View Filter activity
Filters change this loaded snapshot only. They never delete activity.
Older activity may exist beyond this recent snapshot.
Some devices could not be loaded, so this snapshot is partial.
Requests
ParentTap asks
Picture and voice asks from your children arrive here for a quick answer.
Requests waiting
Your child asked you about a website that could not be checked automatically. Each one below is waiting for your answer.
Your answer is written down as a rule for that child, and from then on it is what decides that address when it is checked — instead of the automatic filtering, and without using up a check. You can change or remove it later on that child’s Websites screen. Answering here does not by itself change anything already open on the tablet.
“Allow scoped” allows the address for 24 hours only. After that it asks again — it never becomes a permanent rule the way “Allow” does.
Answered
Requests you answered during this visit. This list clears on reload — the answers themselves are already saved as rules, whether or not you see them listed here.
History
Website requests you or another parent have already answered, kept across visits and devices. Help requests have their own history below; ParentTap answers have their own history on the ParentTap screen.
Your child needs you
Your child asked for you directly from their tablet. Type a reply and it goes straight back to their screen.
