FamilyTime

What FamilyTime is

FamilyTime is a parental-control service for managing children’s device use, apps, activity, and location. Its tools include content filtering, screen-time schedules, app blocking, activity reports, live location, visited places, geofences, and teen speed-limit alerts. Parents connect the FamilyTime Jr app on a child’s device by scanning a QR code; its settings can prevent children from uninstalling it. Parent access includes Windows or Mac dashboards and mobile and web apps. FamilyTime supports Android, iOS, Windows, and Mac. Calls and text-message monitoring are Android-only. Social monitoring covers chats on WhatsApp, WhatsApp Business, BiP, Instagram, TikTok, imo, Twitch, and Signal. Activity reports and activity data cover 30 days. FamilyTime provides free guardian invitations for partners, relatives, or friends, and includes 24/7 live chat and premium email support with Premium plans. It uses end-to-end encryption for children’s data and is GDPR-compliant. A 3-day free trial precedes the annual plans: MyFamily costs $2.41 a month, billed annually at $29 after the trial, for one child device; MyFamily3 is $4.08 a month, billed at $49 annually, for three devices; MyFamily5 is $5.75 a month, billed at $69 annually, for five devices.
