What is Digital Chaperone?
Digital Chaperone is a comprehensive parental control and monitoring software designed to help parents oversee their children's online activities across devices. It offers a wide range of features including:
- Setting time limits for how long children can access devices or specific apps
- Filtering and blocking access to inappropriate websites based on category or custom blacklists
- Monitoring social media, texts, and chat app usage
- Viewing full browsing and search histories across browsers
- Establishing curfews for when devices turn off access
- Geofencing alerts that notify parents when kids enter or leave permitted locations
- Locating your children's devices on a map if they have location services enabled
- Receiving notifications for concerning online behaviors based on keyword alerts
Digital Chaperone aims to balance giving parents oversight over their children's digital lives with fostering trust and open communication. It provides detailed activity reporting for discussions about online safety rather than simply restricting access. The software supports an unlimited number of child profiles and works across Windows, MacOS, Android, and iOS devices with a single parent account.
