Parental controls without the spying
Family Lock switches off TikTok, YouTube Shorts and endless feeds, and locks the computer at bedtime. Everything stays on your computer. There's no account, no cloud, and no one reading your family's history.

Launch price €49/$49 a year (or €5.99/$5.99 a month) for up to 3 computers. Nothing to pay today.
Two versions
For kids and teens
Turns off the endless feeds and sets a bedtime. Only you can change it, with your PIN.
For parents and grandparents
Keeps scammers out of an older parent's computer, and adds a “call family first” pause before anything risky.
How we're different
Most parental-control apps make you sign up, send browsing to the cloud and keep logs for months. Family Lock does the blocking on the computer itself. We never see the sites anyone visits, and there's nothing to sell because we never collect it.
How it works
Add Family Lock on the Windows or Mac computer, in Chrome and Edge.
Choose what to block, set a bedtime, and link a phone for unlock codes.
The Windows installer or Mac profile keeps it from being removed.
FAQ
No. Family Lock runs on the family's computer. There's no sign-up, no dashboard and nothing to log into to use it.
No. We never see what your kids browse, or what a parent or grandparent visits. Family Lock does not collect, store or sell browsing history, and there is no account that tracks it. Settings stay on the family's computer. When paid plans launch, a licence check will confirm your key is valid; that check does not include browsing data. See our privacy page for the details.
Family Lock itself runs in Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge. The Windows installer, and the Mac profile, also lock it into those browsers, switch off Incognito or InPrivate, Guest mode and new profiles, and block Firefox if it is ever installed, so those usual ways around it are closed. It does not control every other browser. A portable copy of Chrome, or a browser we don't manage, such as Brave or Opera, can still be used unless you remove it or limit it another way, for example with Windows settings or Mac Screen Time. We're upfront about that: Family Lock is a lock for the browsers most families already use, not a filter for the whole computer.
Settings and switching Family Lock off need your parent PIN. Give your child a standard Windows or Mac account, not an administrator account, so they can't uninstall things on their own. If they are on an administrator account, the Windows installer still asks for your PIN before uninstall, and a helper puts the browser protections back if someone tries to remove them. On a Mac, the Family Lock profile keeps it in place.
Yes. Family Lock works inside the browser, so a VPN doesn't get around it. On Windows the installer also stops VPN extensions being added in Chrome and Edge.
Chrome and Microsoft Edge on Windows and Mac. Each plan covers up to 3 computers, with every browser on those computers included in the licence (you don't pay per browser). Protection itself is for Chrome and Edge, as described in the second-browser question.
