In their own words
KidsNanny
KidsNanny is a parental control app for managing children’s screen time, apps, websites, YouTube access, location and digital safety. Parents can schedule screen time, filter content, block apps, review activity reports and manage web access by domain or category. YouTube controls allow or block channels, and supported browsing history can be reviewed. Screen Scanner checks a child’s screen periodically for configured safety risks and can alert parents. WhatsApp Shield can flag risky messages or media and remove configured harmful content; Camera Shield detects potentially inappropriate visuals during supported camera or video-call activity and can take protective action. Location tools include live tracking, history, geofences, entry and exit alerts, and child Check-In. Parents can assign tasks and let children exchange earned points for extra screen time. KidsNanny supports Android, iPhone, iPad, Mac and a parent web dashboard, though features vary by platform. A Basic free version is available; paid plans include a 7-day trial, then cost $5.00 per month or $35.00 per year.
