TVGuard: TV Parental Control

TVGuard turns your phone into the remote control for your family's screen time.

Pair it once with the free TVGuard app on your Android TV and you can lock apps behind a PIN, set bedtime windows, cap daily viewing, and see exactly where the time went — all from your phone.

NO ACCOUNT. NO CLOUD.
TVGuard works entirely on your home Wi-Fi. Your phone talks to your TV directly. There is no sign-up, no server, and nothing about your family's viewing ever leaves your home network.

WHAT YOU CAN DO
• Lock apps behind a parent PIN — the TV asks for the PIN before the app opens
• Block apps completely
• Bedtime schedules — the whole TV locks during the window you choose
• Per-app daily time limits — an app locks once its limit is reached
• Live controls — lock the TV instantly, unlock it, or grant extra minutes
• Re-lock a single app — end the unlock session for one app without touching the rest
• Screen-time reports — see usage per app
• Guard Settings and the Play Store so your rules can't be changed or worked around

BUILT FOR A REMOTE
Typing a PIN with a TV remote is usually painful. TVGuard uses a Google-TV-style dial: the three numbers on screen map to LEFT, OK and RIGHT, and up/down move between rows — so your PIN is quick to enter and hard for a child to read over your shoulder.
