What ParentProof is
ParentProof is a parental-control service for supervising compatible children’s devices. Parents manage settings from a web dashboard that works in a browser on a phone or computer. The service supports Android phones and tablets, Windows PCs, and Macs, while children’s iPhones and iPads, Amazon Fire tablets, and Linux desktops are unsupported. Android and macOS provide schedules, per-app limits, and a whole-day budget; Windows provides scheduled pauses without per-app limits or a whole-day budget. On Android, only apps a parent has allowed can open. The Android tablet filter uses Cloudflare or AdGuard and a daily-refreshed blocklist, although private lookups and numeric web addresses can bypass it. Parents can remotely pause Android devices and see confirmation. Android setup requires a Windows PC or Mac, a USB cable, and usually a factory reset for an already-used tablet. A free account is offered, while plan prices are not displayed.
