FamilyGuard
For Windows, managed from anywhere

Screen time that follows your week, not a stopwatch.

FamilyGuard sets each day's hours the way your family actually runs — more on a Saturday, less on a school night — blocks the sites you choose, and shows you where the time really went. From any device, any time.

Free to run on your own account. Takes about five minutes to set up on your child's PC.

The one promise

Built to fail open, never shut. If a setting's ever wrong — a budget set too low, a bad connection — FamilyGuard falls back toward letting the internet through, not cutting it off. You can always reach it to fix things. No family gets stranded because of a typo.

What it actually does

Five things, done properly — nothing you have to babysit.

01

A budget for every day

Set Monday through Sunday separately, or switch the whole limit off with one toggle on the days it doesn't apply — a snow day, a holiday, whatever your week needs.

02

Blocks the sites you name

Add a domain once and it's off-limits at the network level from then on — no matter which browser gets opened to try it.

03

See where the time went

A week of real browsing activity, read straight from the browser's own history — not a guess, not just a log of what got blocked.

04

Runs from anywhere

A dashboard shows every device's status right now — online or offline — and changes you make reach it within about ninety seconds.

05

Extra time, on the spot

Homework ran long? Grant more minutes remotely and it applies immediately — no arguing over who knows the password.

06

One account, every device

Add as many computers as your household needs and manage all of them from the same place.

Getting set up

Ten minutes, start to finish.

01

Install on their PC

Run the installer on your child's computer and set a parent password. That's the only step that needs to happen at the machine itself.

02

Set the week from your phone

Pair it to your account, then set hours, sites, and each day's budget from the cloud dashboard — from wherever you are.

03

Check in, adjust, done

See what's been visited, watch usage for the day, nudge a limit — it all takes effect within a couple of minutes.

Set the week once. Stop negotiating every night.

FamilyGuard is free to run on your own account — install it, pair it, and you're managing screen time from wherever you already are.
