Parental controls for Android phones

Fair rules for their phone. Peace of mind for you.

Kinuvo helps you set healthy screen time, app and internet boundaries on your child’s Android phone, and tells you when they arrive where they’re going. Your child can see the rules, and ask when they need more.

  1. From your child to you: Ask for more timeWhen 15 minutes are left

  2. From you to your child: +30 minutesYou choose how much

  3. From you to your child: Night Screen Lock, 9 PM–7 AMKept on their phone, even offline

  4. From your child to you: Arrived at SchoolOnly for places you save

Never leaves their phone: messages, what they type, their screen and their browsing.

Our approach

Guidance, not surveillance.

Many parental controls are built to watch. Kinuvo is built to guide: clear, fair boundaries on your child’s phone, and news of what matters, without reading their messages, recording their screen or keeping a history of the sites they visit.

What your child sees
  1. 01

    They can see it.

    Kinuvo Kids is a visible app on your child’s phone. It shows them their limits and explains each permission in plain words before it’s switched on.

  2. 02

    They can ask.

    More time, a blocked app, a new download: your child asks from their phone, and you answer from yours.

  3. 03

    Some things stay theirs.

    No messages, no typing, no screen recording, no browsing history. Kinuvo records only the websites it blocked.

Kids have a voice

When they want more, they ask. You decide.

Instead of arguments at the door or workarounds behind your back, Kinuvo gives your child a simple way to ask. The request arrives on your phone, and you answer in a tap, straight from the notification.

  • “Ask for more time”When 15 minutes or less are left

    You answer

    • +15 minutes
    • +30 minutes
    • +1 hour
    • Your own amount
    • Not now

    After a no, they can ask again in 10 minutes.

  • “Request Access”From an app that’s blocked

    You answer

    • Allow Access
    • Keep Blocked

  • “Request Approval Again”For a new app that’s waiting for you

    You answer

    • Approve
    • Reject

Asking never unlocks anything on its own. Only your answer does.

Screen time

A daily allowance that fits real life.

Set a Daily Limit for each day of the week. Add Bonus Time for movie night in one tap. Keep reading and school apps from counting at all. And your child gets a heads-up at 15, 5 and 1 minute left, so time never runs out by surprise.

  • Always Allowed apps that don’t use up the day
  • Calls and the phone’s essentials always keep working
  • Designed so changing the phone’s clock doesn’t add time

Daily Limit

Example week
2 hours on school days, 3 at the weekend. On Friday, you added 30 minutes of Bonus Time, for that day only.

Bedtime, on autopilot.

Every child starts with a Night Screen Lock from 9 PM to 7 AM, ready to switch on. Apps rest overnight and wake up in the morning, even if the phone is offline.

9:00 PMto7:00 AM

  • App LimitA video app1 hour a day on school days
  • Block AppsA gameStays installed but can’t be opened. Your child can ask for access
  • New App ApprovalA new downloadWaits for your OK before it opens
  • Phone LockThe whole phoneLocked for dinner until you unlock it. Calls still work
Examples of App Limits, Block Apps, New App Approval and Phone Lock
Apps

Limits for apps. Not battles over the phone.

Give the apps that take the most time a daily cap, block the ones that aren’t right yet, and decide what happens when something new is installed. Everything else keeps working normally.

  • Blocked apps stay installed, and your child can ask for access
  • You’re told when an app is uninstalled

Safer internet

Harmful sites stay away. Browsing stays private.

Web Protection blocks websites in the categories you choose, in every browser on your child’s phone, on Wi‑Fi and mobile data. Adult content is blocked from the start. Kinuvo keeps no browsing history: it only records the sites it stopped, so you can see what was blocked and why.

  • Block or allow any website yourself
  • Internet Schedule switches the internet off for homework or sleep. Offline apps still work, and SOS still gets through
More about safer internet

9 categories you control

On from day one

  • Adult Content(on from day one)
  • Violence
  • Gambling
  • Dating
  • Drugs
  • Weapons
  • Social Media
  • Malware
  • Phishing
Plus any website you choose to block or allow yourself.

Web Protection blocks whole websites using curated lists of known sites. It can’t filter a single video or search, and no list covers the whole internet, so you can add any site yourself.

Location and safety

Where they are, when you need to know.

Check in when you want to, look back when you need to, and let the places that matter tell you when your child arrives or leaves.

  • Where they are nowOpen Child Tracker to see each child on a map. While it’s open, Kinuvo aims for a new location about every 15 seconds, though signal and the phone can slow it down.
  • Everywhere they’ve beenTrip History turns their location into recorded journeys — browse by month, week or day, up to the most recent 30 days.
  • That they got thereArrive and leave alerts for the places you save, like home and school, without having to check.

Your child can see that their location is shared with you.

“Live now” appears while Child Tracker is active and the latest location is fresh. Otherwise, Kinuvo shows how long ago it was updated.
Emergency SOS

Help, one tap away.

If something’s wrong, your child taps SOS. Seconds later, every phone you’re signed in on knows, and your child can see that you’re coming.

Kinuvo’s SOS reaches you, not emergency services. In an emergency, call your local emergency number.

More about Emergency SOS

A three-second countdown, with Tap to Cancel.

  1. Every parent phone gets an urgent alertWith your child’s location when it’s available.
  2. You tap “I’m on my way”Your child sees that help is on the way.
  3. No signal?Their SOS keeps trying until it gets through.

Privacy

Specific promises, not vague ones.

You’re trusting Kinuvo with your child’s phone. So here’s exactly where the lines are.

Kinuvo never

  • reads messages, chats or emails
  • captures what your child types
  • records or screenshots the screen
  • keeps a history of the websites they visit
  • listens through the microphone
  • shows ads, or includes advertising software in either app

What your child is told

“Kinuvo does not keep your full browsing history.”
“Your location is only shared with your approved family.”
“A parent can always turn it off with their PIN.”

Kinuvo Kids’ own words, shown before each permission.

Questions parents ask.

Straight answers, including what Kinuvo can’t do.

All questions

Does Kinuvo watch everything my child does?

No. Kinuvo Kids is a visible app that explains itself to your child. It doesn’t read messages, capture what your child types, record the screen or keep a history of the websites they visit. It records only what its features need, like app time, location for your saved places and the sites it blocked.

Can my child uninstall Kinuvo Kids?

Not without you. Removing Kinuvo Kids or changing its protection needs your Parent PIN, and you’re alerted if Accessibility or Usage Access is switched off. A full factory reset of the phone would remove it, as with any app.

What happens when the Daily Limit runs out?

Apps pause with a calm screen until tomorrow. Phone calls, Settings and the home screen keep working, and your child can tap Ask for more time. You decide.

Is location live?

Child Tracker shows Live now while tracking is active and the latest location is fresh. While it’s open, Kinuvo aims for a new location about every 15 seconds; that’s a target, not a guarantee, and GPS, signal or the phone saving battery can delay updates. It isn’t a constant stream: everywhere else you see their latest reported location and how long ago it was.

Does SOS call emergency services?

No. Kinuvo’s SOS reaches you, not emergency services. In an emergency, call your local emergency number.

What phones does Kinuvo work on?

The Kinuvo app for parents runs on Android. Kinuvo Kids, for your child’s phone, needs Android 7.0 or newer. There is no Kinuvo Kids for iPhone or iPad.

Start with one fair rule.

Kinuvo on your phone. Kinuvo Kids on your child’s Android phone. A few minutes to set up, and rules that keep working.
