Requires enabling the Accessibility Service using the checkbox under "enable always-on". ➤ Screen Blackout Powered by machine learning, Screencast detection is a new way to deter the viewing of inappropriate content. When Screen blackout is enabled and triggered, a screenshot is taken and stored securely, along with the screen being temporarily blacked out. ➤ Wi-Fi and Cellular protection Safe Surfer protection keeps your device protected—no matter what kind of network you are connected to. ➤ Zero ads and low resource footprint Safe Surfer is ad-free and has a minimal impact on your device's resources. Notes: • As a monitoring app, Safe Surfer must be installed by the legal owner and/or custodian of this device solely for personal usage, monitoring a child for which you are a legal guardian, or monitoring employee usage on a device owned by an organization. Using Safe Surfer for other/malicious purposes is stricly prohibited. A persistent notification shows at all times when Safe Surfer is active. • As a parental control app, we use the Android AccessibilityService API for the sole purpose of stopping device users from uninstalling protection without the permission of a parent (or an accountability partner). • As a parental control app, we use the Android VPNService API to filter online content according to your settings. This VPN does not change your IP address/country on the internet, nor does it affect your internet speed. • Some mobile service providers and Internet service providers in certain countries hijack the ability to use specific DNS settings. The Safe Surfer app relies upon this ability. If this is the case in your country with your service provider, the Safe Surfer app may not work properly on your device.
