What KidsNanny is
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 and websites, review supported browsing history, and control YouTube access by allowing or blocking channels. Screen Scanner periodically checks a child’s screen for configured 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 and video-call activity and can take protective action. Location features include real-time tracking, history, geofences, arrival and departure alerts, and child Check-In. Parents can assign tasks, approve completed work, and let children redeem points for extra screen time. KidsNanny supports Android, iPhone, iPad, Mac, and a web dashboard for parents; feature availability varies by platform. A Basic free version is available, as is a 7-day free trial. Yearly costs $35.00 per year and Monthly costs $5.00 per month; both auto-renew and list the scanner, shields, YouTube controls, reports, tasks, rewards, and custom alerts. Setup pairs a child’s device with the parent account using a QR code or pairing code and requires platform-specific permissions or configuration.
