TVGuard for TV - Full Privacy

TVGuard for TV is the on‑device companion for the TVGuard parental control system. Install it on your Android TV / Google TV, pair it with the TVGuard app on your phone, and it enforces the locks, bedtime windows and limits you set — all locally, with no account and no cloud.

WHAT IT DOES
• Shows a pairing code so your phone can connect over your home Wi‑Fi.
• Enforces app locks, full blocks, bedtime windows and daily limits.
• Presents a remote‑friendly PIN lock screen when a locked app or bedtime is active.
• Protects itself (Device Admin) so the rules can't be trivially removed.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• No account, no cloud, no data collection.
• Your phone talks to this app directly over local Wi‑Fi — nothing leaves your home network.
• Only the current foreground app name is read, solely to enforce your rules. No screen content, text or personal data is collected, stored or transmitted.
• The parent PIN is stored only as a salted hash on this device.

PERMISSIONS (and why)
• Accessibility Service — to detect which app is in the foreground and show the lock. This is core to blocking apps.
• Usage Access — to measure screen time and enforce daily limits.
• Device Admin — so protections can't be removed without the PIN.

SETUP
1. Install TVGuard on your phone.
2. Open TVGuard for TV and follow the setup checklist to grant the permissions above.
3. Scan the code with your phone to pair, then manage everything from your phone.

This app has no ads and no purchases — buy TVGuard Pro (or Remove ads) in the phone app.
