Browser Monitoring

Filtering happens on the phone itself. Choose the kinds of sites to block, add your own by name, and it holds up against the usual workarounds.

What Browser Monitoring does

  • On the device

    Nothing is sent to us to be filtered.

  • Categories you choose

    Adult content, gambling and the rest — you decide.

  • Your own list

    Open a study site, block a distraction, by name.

Questions

Browser Monitoring — the questions parents ask

Does my child know Guardian is there?+

Yes. Guardian is visible on their phone under its own name and consent is recorded at pairing — it isn’t a hidden or secret tool.

Does filtering work in every browser?+

Filtering happens on the device, so it applies across apps and browsers — and holds up against the usual workarounds.
