Binary Shield (The Digital Guardian) is the parental control app for parents: dangerous content is filtered at the network level—system-wide, including on mobile data networks.
Features:
• Real-time DNS filtering (NextDNS)
• Setup in approximately 2 minutes via QR code
• Screen time control with time limits
• Protection alert if the filter is bypassed
• Activity dashboard for parents
• Quest system: children earn screen time by completing tasks
Plans: Essential / Pro / Ultra (incl. Family Bedtime).
Data privacy: EU servers (Firebase europe-west1), data minimization, GDPR compliant.
Target audience: parents (not children). The app is managed by the parent.
Accessibility Service: Binary Shield uses Android's accessibility service only on the child's phone and only after consent has been granted in the system settings. The service detects which app is currently in the foreground and overlays the lock screen if the parent has locked the device or a specific app. Screen content, text input, messages, and passwords will not be read.
Parental controls: DNS filter, screen time & alarm. Set up in 2 minutes.
