🌟 Healthy screen habits, the gentle way
GuardianKid uses soft reminders instead of harsh locks, helping kids build balance rather than fighting over the phone.

πŸ‘€ Eye-distance care
A gentle voice reminder nudges your child to hold the phone at a healthy distance β€” caring for growing eyes.

πŸŒ™ Gentle, never forceful
Soft screen dimming and kind reminders β€” never a hard lock. Calls and emergencies always work.

⭐ Stars for good habits
Kids earn stars for healthy balance, not for more screen time.

πŸ“š Fun time and learning time, kept separate
Educational apps don't eat into entertainment limits.

πŸ” How GuardianKid works (Accessibility)
GuardianKid uses Android's AccessibilityService to detect which app is currently open on your child's device, so it can apply the right screen-time limits and show gentle reminders for the correct app. This is essential to the app's parental-control and monitoring function. It reads only the foreground app's identity for this purpose β€” no personal content is collected, stored, or transmitted, and all processing stays on the device.

πŸ”’ Private by design
Everything stays on your device. No ads. No data collection. Ever.

🌐 Available in English, Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, and Kannada.

As a parental monitoring tool, GuardianKid shows a persistent notification while active, so it's always clear when monitoring is on. ## Rankings - #2,878,240 β€” Overall ## Permissions and access ### Permissions - `android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE` - `android.permission.CAMERA` - `android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE` - `android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE_CAMERA` - `android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE_SPECIAL_USE` - `android.permission.INTERNET` - `android.permission.PACKAGE_USAGE_STATS` - `android.permission.POST_NOTIFICATIONS` - `android.permission.QUERY_ALL_PACKAGES` - `android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED` - `android.permission.REQUEST_IGNORE_BATTERY_OPTIMIZATIONS` - `android.permission.SCHEDULE_EXACT_ALARM` - `android.permission.SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW` - `android.permission.WAKE_LOCK` - `com.android.vending.BILLING` - `com.android.vending.CHECK_LICENSE` - `com.guardiankid.DYNAMIC_RECEIVER_NOT_EXPORTED_PERMISSION` ## Similar extensions and apps - [GuardianΓ©](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.gurdiane.child) β€” 4 users - [Child Guardian-Parent App](https://chrome-stats.com/d/org.moonforest.parent) β€” 88 users - [KiddyGuard](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.dungz.childrenlocker) β€” 28 users - [Kids Guard - Parental Control](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.kidsguard) β€” 85 users - [KidSecure: Parenting Control](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.unfoldlabs.kidsecure) β€” 83,529 users, 3.85 / 5 - [KidsGuard-Parental Control App](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.clevguard.kidsguard.parent) β€” 464,150 users, 2.79 / 5 - [KidsCare](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.kids.care) β€” 68 users - [Smart Guardian Child App](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.oneassist.smartguardianchild) β€” 13 users - [GuardianCare](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.guardiancare.guardian) β€” 140 users - [KidsGuard for Safe Children](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.clevguard.KidsGuardforChildren) β€” 4,089 users - [KiddyV: Healthy Screen Habits](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.kiddyv.youtubeblocker) β€” 85 users - [HabitGuard: Limit Screen Time](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.habbitguard) β€” 48 users --- Source: [Chrome-Stats](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.guardiankid)
