Family Protector: Screen Time

Family Protector is a transparent parental control & screen time app. Set daily screen time limits, lock your child's phone remotely, and see app usage in real time — all from your own device, with full transparency and no hidden monitoring.

⚠️ Family Protector is exclusively for parents or legal guardians monitoring their own children's devices. It is not designed for tracking adults. A persistent notification is always shown on the child's device whenever monitoring is active — your child will always know the app is running.

Built for busy parents, Family Protector turns your phone into a simple parental control dashboard for managing your kids' screen time.

🛡️ KEY FEATURES

• Screen Time Limits
Set a daily screen time limit. When it's reached, the device locks automatically.

• Remote Device Lock
Lock your child's phone instantly from the parent app.

• App Usage Monitoring
See which apps your child uses and for how long, in real time.

• Real-Time Notifications
Get alerts when screen time limits are reached or the child's device goes offline.

• Secure Parent-Child Linking
Accounts are linked via a unique pairing code. Only the linked parent can control the child's device.

• Always-On with Persistent Notification
Monitoring runs continuously and is always disclosed via a persistent notification on the child's device. Auto-restarts after reboot — no gaps in protection.

👨‍👩‍👧 HOW IT WORKS

1. Parent installs the app and registers a Parent account.
2. Child installs the app and registers a Child account using the parent's pairing code.
3. Parent grants Device Administrator permission on the child's device (one-time, fully disclosed).
4. The parent dashboard goes live with full screen time controls.

🔒 PRIVACY & SECURITY

• All data is stored securely in Google Firebase with strict access rules — parents only see data for their own linked devices.
• No data is sold or shared with third parties.
• Child device data is only accessible to the linked parent account.
• App backups are disabled for added security.
• Privacy policy: https://alldiezzz.github.io/portofolio-v2/family-protector/privacy.html

⚖️ CONSENT & RESPONSIBLE USE

Family Protector is for parents or legal guardians monitoring devices they own or are legally responsible for. The child must be informed the app is installed. Do not install on devices belonging to other adults — this app is not for tracking spouses, employees, or any other adults.
