Daily limits
The device locks itself when the limit is reached. Bonus minutes go back on right away.
Child device management
Calm screen time
for the whole family
KidsDM sets daily limits, blocks chosen apps and reports location on your child's Android device. The parent app keeps you informed without checking the tablet again and again.

back to better things
Families need rules, not arguments
Five things, set once
Let the system handle the daily reminders. You step in only when a decision is needed.
Rules for each app
Give an app its own limit or block it. Phone, messages, maps and system settings always stay available.
School and sleep schedules
Focus and bedtime start on their own, with separate rules for weekdays and weekends.
Location and 30 day history
See the latest location and the past 30 days of movement, including the walk home from school.
Tasks that earn minutes
Chores, reading or practice earn extra time once approved. Easier to agree on than taking time away.

- TikTok use clusters between 21:00 and 22:30, so bedtime could start half an hour earlier.
- Weeknight gaming has been steady, so the current limit can stay.
Refreshed every Monday. Built only from total minutes and app names.
Smart app sorting

You will know if someone tries to remove it
When the child app sees an uninstall screen or the admin permission is switched off, it records the event and shows it in the parent app. Android still sets the limit, but nothing happens silently.
- Uninstall attempts are recorded
- Admin permission changes are reported
- Events are kept for 90 days

FAQ
Before you start
Does it need root or a custom ROM?
No. The child app uses the standard Android accessibility service and device admin permissions, and does not modify the system.
Can my child remove KidsDM?
The child app detects the uninstall screen and reports it, but Android does not allow a regular app to block removal completely. We recommend a screen lock and the system parental controls as well.
Does it support iPhone?
The child app currently supports Android devices, and the parent app is an Android app as well.
Do the rules still work offline?
Rules already synced to the device keep working. Usage and location reports are sent once the connection returns.
Can I manage more than one child?
Yes. Switch between children in the parent app, each with their own limits, app rules and schedules.
Does the AI read my child's messages or photos?
No. The AI features only read aggregated usage minutes, app names and categories. Messages, photos, contacts and files are never read.
Can I use KidsDM without the AI features?
Yes. The AI only adds explanation and hints. Limits, blocks and schedules are set by you and enforced by the system whether AI is on or off.
