If you've ever handed your child a device and immediately felt a knot in your stomach wondering what they might stumble across, Kidslox was built for parents like you. It's a comprehensive parental control app that lets you manage screen time, block apps, filter web content, and track your child's location — all from your own phone.^1
Kidslox works across both iOS and Android (and even Windows and Mac), so you can manage up to 10 devices from a single account regardless of platform.^2 The app gives you granular control: block individual apps, set daily screen time limits, create recurring schedules for homework and bedtime, and filter over 4 million inappropriate URLs with built-in SafeSearch enforcement.^1 Newer features include social network monitoring for TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube, AI-powered content summaries of visited sites, and alerts for concerning content detected on your child's device.^1
One thing that sets Kidslox apart is its cross-platform flexibility — it was one of the first parental control apps to let parents manage an iPhone from an Android device and vice versa.^2 The app also includes a "Screen Time Rewards" feature that lets you give kids extra time for completing chores or homework, turning screen time into a positive motivator rather than just a restriction.^2
Why Parents Love It"I have been using this for about six months now. I'm not overly tech savvy. I was able to install this on both my kids' iPads with no problems. They fought pretty hard at first to get more time. Now they rarely use it all. They have just made a new habit of playing outside."^2
"Great app, had over a year, love all the features and have more control over my child's phone. This feature has helped me to find out what my child is up to and stopped things before she done it — it's been a life saver."^3
"In terms of my own list of parental control needs, Kidslox scores a solid 9 out of 10. I'll add an extra point for its ease of use."^4
