UK-based, parent-first design

Lock their screens, not their curiosity.

ChildLocks gives you one simple place to manage which apps and websites your children can use on Windows, Mac, Linux and Android devices – without needing to be “the tech one”.

No spying. No selling data. Just clear rules you control.

How ChildLocks works

Three simple steps to bring all your children’s devices under one calm, consistent set of rules.

Step one
Create your ChildLocks account

Set up your parent profile, add your children’s names and choose which platforms you want to protect: Windows, Mac, Linux and Android.

Step two
Install tiny helper apps

Download the right helper app for each device. We’ll guide you through, step by step. No command lines. No jargon. Just click, install and link to your account.

Step three
Control rules from one dashboard

From your parent dashboard you can block apps, filter websites, pause internet use and set time limits – all without having to touch each device every time.

Works across your family’s devices

Start with one device or protect the whole house. ChildLocks is built to grow with your family.

Windows
App blocking · Store control · Hosts rules

Ideal for home PCs and laptops. Lock down games, messaging apps and the Microsoft Store while leaving school work untouched.

Mac
Hosts rules · App limits (future)

Keep the family Mac safe for homework and creative projects, while gently limiting distractions.

Linux
Hosts rules · CLI & GUI helpers

Great for more technical households. ChildLocks brings a simple parent-friendly layer to Linux devices.

Android
App & web filter (planned)

Coming soon: a friendly Android app that lets you manage screen time and apps on your child’s phone or tablet.

Designed for parents, not IT departments

Under the bonnet it’s powerful. On the surface it’s simple, calm and kind.

🔒
Block what matters, without breaking everything
Choose from simple presets (games, social media, adult content) or create your own blocklist. We handle the technical magic behind the scenes.
👨‍👩‍👧
One dashboard, all children
See every child and every protected device at a glance, so you always know what’s online and what isn’t.
Flexible time limits (future)
Upcoming features will let you set school hours, bedtime and weekly allowances – without constant battles over “five more minutes”.
🧩
Built to work with apps and agents
The platform is ready to talk to standalone apps on Windows, Mac, Linux and Android, so you can install once and manage everything remotely.

UK-based, privacy-respecting by design

ChildLocks is designed and hosted in the UK. We don’t sell your data, monitor private messages or record browsing histories. You decide what’s allowed – our job is simply to enforce it.

🔐 GDPR-aligned handling
