Samsung Galaxy Exclusive: Advanced Knox Security
Boomerang is uniquely integrated with Samsung Knox to prevent tech-savvy kids from bypassing your rules. By controlling devices at a secure system level, we block common Android workarounds that defeat generic tracking apps:

Prevent Safe Mode Bypass: Smart kids frequently use Android Safe Mode as a screen time bypass to disable tracking apps. Boomerang blocks Safe Mode entirely to keep boundaries secure.

Disable Multi-User & Guest Mode: Prevents children from creating secondary profiles or switching to Guest Mode to access an unprotected web browser and social media.

Disable Multi-Window & DeX: Blocks split-screen view and Samsung DeX, ensuring second apps cannot be opened secretly to sneak around your app limits.

Force GPS Location On: Locks your child’s device location settings natively so they can never manually disable location tracking or turn off their family locator.

Tamper-Proof Settings Protection: Advanced system-level protections stop children from altering your rules or turning off active parental control settings.

What You Can Do (Child Mode)

App Blocker & Limits: Set strict per-app time limits (e.g., limit social media or TikTok to 15 minutes a day) or block apps entirely.

Instant Pause: Time out all user-installed apps on demand and hide them when it's time for dinner or to unplug.

Family GPS Locator: Keep tabs on your child’s real-time location history and ensure they arrive safely.

Safe Web Filtering: Automatically block millions of inappropriate websites, pornography, and unsafe search engines using SPIN Safe Browser.

Track YouTube History: See exactly what your child searches for and watches on the official YouTube app.

The Boomerang Mission
We believe parental controls should open conversations, not just lock things down. Use Boomerang as a digital wellness tool to talk with your kids about what they are watching, who they are texting, and how to build healthier online habits together.
