Adult and dangerous sites blocked
Known adult sites are blocked out of the box, and malware, phishing and scam sites are always blocked. The lists update themselves, on every plan including Free.

What SafeScreen does on your child's PC
Filtering, limits and reports for your child's computer, all managed from one account.
Parents' favourite
Pick which YouTube channels your child can watch
Parents ask for this more than anything else. With most parental controls, YouTube is either blocked or wide open. SafeScreen has a middle setting: you make a list of channels you trust, and nothing else plays.
- Add channels like ABC Kids, Nat Geo or the learning channels your child already likes. Anything not on the list is blocked.
- Your child still gets the videos you're happy with, and you don't have to worry about where the next recommendation leads.
- Restricted Mode and Safe Search are locked on as well.

New · Safe AI
Safe AI: choose which kinds of AI your child can use
Kids can now reach chatbots, companion apps and image generators from any browser, and plenty of them weren't built with children in mind. SafeScreen groups AI sites into categories. You allow the ones you're comfortable with and block the others, starting from defaults based on your child's age.
- There are seven categories: general assistants, homework and writing helpers, coding assistants, AI search, companion bots, image and video generators, and AI browsers.
- Recommended settings exist for under 13s, 13-15 and 16-17. Any category can be changed with one tap.
- You can mark a site as always allowed, so a school's AI tutor keeps working even if its category is blocked.
- Nudify and deepfake tools are blocked for every child. You can't turn that off.
Apps that use AI behind the scenes keep working. SafeScreen only filters the AI sites your child opens.

Protects the whole PC
One install covers every browser and app
SafeScreen runs in the background and covers the whole computer. You don't set anything up per browser. Whatever app your child opens follows the same rules.

Forced Safe Search
Safe Search that can't be switched off
SafeScreen locks every major search engine to its strict safe mode, so explicit results don't show up. Your child can't turn it off, even from the search engine's own settings.
Google Safe Search is enforced everywhere, including google.com.au.

Some search engines have no safe-search option at all. One switch blocks around 180 of them, plus their metasearch mirrors, so your child can't use them to get around Safe Search.
Your own rules
Block by site, address or word
You can add your own rules on top of the built-in ones. Word filters work even on sites you otherwise allow.
- Block a whole website in one tap.
- Block only part of a site, such as one forum or category.
- Block any page that mentions a word you've banned, on whatever site it appears.

Screen time
Daily limits and a bedtime
Set how long your child can be online each day and when their day ends. At bedtime the PC winds down, so you're not the one who has to call time. School nights and weekends can have different hours.
- Each child gets a daily time budget.
- The bedtime lock can have separate weekend hours.
- You can change the times from anywhere, and they apply within seconds.

Reports & alerts
Weekly reports and instant alerts
Once a week you get a summary of what your child searched for and which sites they visited. If they try to open something you've blocked, you hear about it right away instead of in the next report.
- Weekly summaries of searches and sites visited.
- An alert as soon as your child tries a blocked page.
- Enough to start a conversation, without reading over their shoulder.

And more
Smaller things that help
Safe Search that stays on
Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo and YouTube are locked to their safe modes in every browser, and search engines that have no safe mode are blocked. Free on every plan.
Friendly block page
When something is blocked, your child sees a plain page saying what and why. You can change its wording and look.
Changes in seconds
A rule you change reaches your child's PC in about five seconds, without you touching their computer.
One account, every child
Each child's rules and devices sit in one family account, with separate parent and child roles.
Rules follow the child
Each device belongs to one child, so switching to another PC doesn't get around the rules.
Can't be switched off
SafeScreen keeps running whatever your child tries. Removing it takes the admin password, which only a parent has.
Always up to date
SafeScreen updates itself in the background.
