KidShield 1.1.1

KidShield offers a comprehensive approach to digital safety for children, extending beyond the home environment to provide ongoing protection even when children are outside the WiFi network. This functionality is dependent on integration with Deco or the Tether App and requires a compatible TP-Link HomeShield device, which may necessitate additional purchase.

The application provides detailed monitoring capabilities, enabling parents to review visited websites, app usage, and time spent online, thereby facilitating informed decisions about their child's digital activities while ensuring a balance between safety and freedom.

Key features include:

• App Blocking: Allows parents to block over 10,000 applications and set usage time limits. The app employs a VPN to prevent ads and malware from reaching the child's device.
• Web Filtering: Enables filtering of web content by categories such as adult content, gambling, and social networking. Activation of the VPN is necessary for this feature.
• YouTube Restrictions: Restricts access to potentially inappropriate videos and channels on YouTube.
• Online Time Limits: Monitors and manages screen time across applications, social media, and websites to encourage healthier device usage habits.
• Prevent App Installing: Blocks the installation of new apps to mitigate excessive gaming or social media use.
• Payment Management: Disables in-app purchases to prevent unauthorized spending and ensure financial safety.
• Location Tracking: Offers real-time GPS monitoring with geofencing capabilities to alert parents when children leave designated areas.
• Behavioral Statistics: Collects search history, browsing data, and screenshots for insights into device usage patterns. These data are retained securely and not shared externally. Accessibility permissions on the device are required to enable these features.

Please note that some features depend on proper setup and permissions; continuous oversight remains essential even with technological safeguards in place.
