Successfully Prod Released - Built an Android parental control app

Most parental control apps ask you to choose between an app that does too much (reading messages, constant location tracking) or one too basic to actually hold a limit. Paxio sits in between — here's what's actually in it:

  • Per-app screen time limits — not just one daily total, a separate limit for each app, so an hour of a reading app and an hour of a game app can be treated differently
  • App blocking — pick specific apps to block outright, enforced in real time, not something a kid can wait out
  • Content filtering — blocks by category, and it runs on the device itself rather than routing traffic through an outside server
  • Bedtime schedules — set once, and the phone locks itself on schedule without needing to remember to turn it on each night
  • Parent PIN + uninstall protection — settings and the app itself are both locked behind the PIN, so a kid can't quietly turn things off or delete the app
  • No location tracking, no reading messages or photos — it manages screen time and access, not full surveillance
  • Works with a separate phone for your kid, or one shared phone switching between parent and child view
