• Block apps by age rating including Minecraft, Facebook, Snapchat, YouTube, Instagram
• Prevent In-app purchases
• Block Safari (to stop your kids from accessing the internet)
• Block Camera (to stop the endless selfie taking and video chat)
Kidslox allows you to:
• Use Schedules to block access to devices during homework time, dinner time and bedtime
• Switch easily between three modes: unrestricted ‘Parent mode’, custom ‘Child mode’ and fully restricted ‘Lockdown mode’ using our simple three-way-toggle mechanism
• Set one off periods in Child or Lockdown Mode using the Kidslox timer
• Protect your Kidslox parental control settings with a unique PIN to stop your clever kids from changing the restrictions

Kidslox is the first app to offer multi-platform parental controls. You can remotely control devices using your iPhone or other mobile device and vice-versa. You can also administer your devices using the Mac and PC companion apps available for free on our site or using our web app (https://app.kidslox.com) via any desktop or mobile web browser.
Kidslox offers a 14 day free trial when you sign up. After that, you could use our basic version for free or get a monthly subscription for unlimited access to all our great features.
Kidslox contains no advertisements.
To use Kidslox you will need to download the app onto each device you wish to control. One paid account allows you to control unlimited devices.

Please note:
When apps are blocked their icons are removed from the home screen. Due to current iOS limitations, when you unblock them the icons will return to the home screen in alphabetical order and outside of any folders.
We’ve created a workaround to solve this issue which you will be prompted to install when you add your device to Kidslox. Read more about the issue and workaround at http://www.iconfixer.com
Finally, if a device has already been set up with an education or business MDM profile (Mobile Device Management) then you will not be able to add Kidslox unless you remove the original profile.
