Screenwise is a parental control app for your child's Android phone. It blocks the apps you choose, limits screen time to what you allow each day, and filters websites they should not be opening. Then it adds what no other free Android app does: your child earns extra minutes by answering math questions instead of asking you for them.

An app blocker, screen time limit app and web filter for kids, with no subscription.

Block apps

• Pick the apps that lock, from games and video to social media, plus an always-blocked list.
• Give one app its own minute budget, always allow it, or block it, set per day.
• Dialer, contacts, messages, camera and emergency calls can never be blocked.

Limit screen time

• A separate daily limit for every day of the week, not just weekdays and weekends.
• When the day's minutes run out, entertainment locks and communication keeps working.
• Password-protected bonus minutes, for saying yes once without changing the rules.
• Prefer no daily clock? Turn the allowance off and keep the app rules.

Filter websites

• Block 12 categories, from adult content and gambling to dating, social media, online games and video streaming.
• A built-in list of 73,176 sites. No VPN, no DNS change, nothing else slows down.
• One tap sets categories for a young child, pre-teen or teen. Adult content stays blocked whatever you switch off.
• Forces SafeSearch on Google, Bing and DuckDuckGo, plus YouTube Restricted Mode. Not in Chrome; the app says so.
• Allow or block individual sites, block words in searches, or allow approved sites only.
• Filters 27 browser builds. Any browser it cannot filter is blocked instead, so a new one is no way round it.
• Blocked a page they genuinely need? They ask you in one tap from the block screen.

Let your child earn extra time

• Screen time is earned through effort, not handed over to stop a fight. This part is optional: leave it off and your child simply gets the time you allow.
• Spaced repetition across all 144 times tables facts, 1x1 to 12x12, so what they get wrong comes back until it sticks.
• Adaptive addition, subtraction, division and mixed questions, from number bonds to three-digit sums and BODMAS.
• Official-format UK Year 4 Multiplication Tables Check practice: 25 questions, 6 seconds each. Also a strong fit for CBSE maths in India.
• A times tables game with medal tiers, 30 achievements awarding bonus minutes, and a daily bonus.
• A heatmap of every times tables fact, per-operation levels and the full answer history.

Built to hold

• Uninstall protection through Android device admin.
• The settings children use to disarm controls are guarded, date and time included, closing the clock trick.
• Enforcement re-arms after a restart; wrong passwords trigger longer lockouts.

Privacy by default

No location, no messages, no browsing history, none of the GPS tracking other apps push. Web filtering reads an address only to decide whether a page may open, and keeps no record. It all stays on the device and works offline.

• Limit screen time without the guilt: your child earns the time rather than losing it.
• No second parent app, no child account.

• Every feature is free. No subscription, no premium tier, and no ads from version 4.3.12.

Accessibility Service permission

Screenwise uses the Accessibility Service to see which app is in the foreground, to read the web address in the browser's address bar so it can filter pages, and to stop children changing parental control settings or uninstalling the app. It reads only what it needs for screen time control and web filtering, and does not access messages, calls, passwords or browsing history. All processing happens on your device.
