Blocked apps

Pick the games, social apps, and everything else your child shouldn't open. ChildLock puts its lock screen over them the moment they open.

Curated channels

Slow-paced, real-presenter channels — hand-picked by the ChildLock team and sorted by age. No unboxing, no AI slop, no rapid-cut brainrot.

Fingerprint unlock

Only your fingerprint opens a blocked app or extends a session. Kids can't tap or swipe past the lock.

Minutes-in-app

Watch how long they actually watched. No dark-pattern engagement metrics.

How it works

  1. Block the apps

    Choose the apps your child shouldn't open, then allow Usage access and Display over other apps so ChildLock can lock them.

  2. Approve the channels

    Search for a channel or start from our curated, age-banded suggestions, and approve exactly what your child may watch.

  3. Keep the key

    Hand over the phone. When the session ends, only your fingerprint can extend it — and you see honest minutes-watched, not engagement bait.

For parents

ChildLock for Android uses Usage access to notice when a blocked app opens and Display over other apps to cover it with the lock screen. It runs on the device and keeps working when your child closes ChildLock. Your child's name and watch history stay on the phone. See our Android privacy policy for the full accounting.
