WHAT DEFENRAS BLOCKS
- Malware and phishing sites
- Adult content and gambling sites
- Vaping, tobacco, cannabis and drug stores
- Crypto scams and fake delivery pages
- Social media (optional, for focused study time)

PARENTAL CONTROLS
- PIN-protected settings — your child can't disable protection without your PIN
- App blocker — block any installed app by name
- Screen time monitoring — see daily usage per app
- Guardian alerts — instant email if the app is removed or goes silent

FAMILY SAFETY
- Panic button — your child can send you their GPS location instantly in an emergency
- On-demand location sharing — your child can send their current location with one tap
- Heartbeat monitoring — get alerted if the app stops running

PRIVACY FIRST
Defenras never collects or stores your child's browsing history. Ever. Protection works at the network level — we see blocked requests, not what your family reads or watches.

FREE FOREVER
Core malware and phishing protection is completely free with no time limit.

PREMIUM FEATURES
Unlock adult content blocking, vaping blocking, PIN protection, guardian alerts, app blocker, screen time and more with a Defenras Premium licence.

VPN SERVICE NOTICE
Defenras uses Android's VpnService to create a local DNS-only VPN on your device. No traffic is routed to any external server. All DNS filtering happens entirely on-device to block malicious domains. No browsing data is collected, logged or transmitted.

ACCESSIBILITY SERVICE NOTICE
Defenras uses Android's Accessibility Service to power two parental control features:

1. App Blocker — detects when a blocked app (e.g. TikTok, Instagram) becomes active on screen and immediately closes it. Only the app package name is read. No app content, messages or personal data is accessed.

2. Purchase PIN Gate — reads the visible text of on-screen buttons to detect purchase actions (e.g. "Buy Now", "Pay Now", "Place Order"). When detected, a parent PIN prompt appears before the purchase completes. No passwords, payment details or typed text are accessed.

A full disclosure screen explaining this permission is shown on first launch, immediately after onboarding and before the main screen, prior to the Accessibility Service being enabled. The user must explicitly tap "I Agree" or "I Decline" — navigating away does not constitute consent. Declining leaves every other feature working, and the service can be turned off at any time in Android Settings.

The Accessibility Service does NOT record, log or transmit any screen content, keystrokes, personal data or browsing history. All processing happens entirely on-device. This app is not a monitoring or surveillance tool. ## Rankings - #2,210,609 — Overall ## Permissions and access ### Permissions - `android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION` - `android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION` - `android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE` - `android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE` - `android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE_SPECIAL_USE` - `android.permission.INTERNET` - `android.permission.PACKAGE_USAGE_STATS` - `android.permission.POST_NOTIFICATIONS` - `android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED` - `android.permission.VIBRATE` - `com.android.vending.CHECK_LICENSE` - `com.defenrasappnew.DYNAMIC_RECEIVER_NOT_EXPORTED_PERMISSION` ## Similar extensions and apps - [Defenx Parental Control](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.defenx.parentalcontrol) — 942 users - [MobileFence - Parental Control](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.mobilefence.family) — 2,805,118 users, 3.65 / 5 - [ParentalEdge: Parental Control](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.parentaledge.child) — 1,801 users - [Digital-Protection](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.webfilter.allot) — 65 users - [EverDNS - Parental control](https://chrome-stats.com/d/tech.everdns.android) — 402 users - [Family Protect](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.wikialphabet.familyprotect) — 14,663 users - [KidShielder: Parental Control](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.app.kid.shielder.app) — 2,768 users - [KidBlocker – Parental Control](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.aa_pi_studio.parental_control_kidblocker) — 107 users - [Bitdefender Parental Control](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.bitdefender.parentaladvisor) — 186,003 users, 2.37 / 5 - [Child Safety](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.fproapps.childsafety) — 55 users - [Kahf Guard: Porn & App Blocker](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.kahf.dns) — 3,559,417 users, 4.89 / 5 - [DigiFamily Kids](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.wontok.digifamilykids) — 11 users --- Source: [Chrome-Stats](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.defenrasappnew)
