Qustodio Parental Control App

Parental controls for family devices

Qustodio Parental Control App is built for parents who want one place to manage a child’s screen time, web access and app use. It pairs with a child’s device so parents can review activity and apply household rules without relying on the child to self-manage them.

What it helps you control

The app covers the practical parts of digital supervision: setting time limits, blocking unsuitable websites and restricting individual apps. Parents can also pause internet access when a device needs to be put away, while usage reports make it easier to spot patterns rather than checking the phone constantly.

• Screen time: Set limits and schedules for when a child can use connected devices.
• Web and app access: Block inappropriate categories or selected apps while keeping useful services available.
• Activity visibility: Review browsing and device-use information from a parent-focused dashboard.
• Safety tools: Location features and alerts can add another layer of awareness for families that need it.

A better fit for hands-on parenting

Qustodio suits families managing more than one child, device or operating system, especially when rules need to be consistent across phones and computers. It is less relevant if you only want a simple bedtime timer or occasional usage check. The setup also requires access permissions and a companion arrangement on the child’s device, so it is a tool for parents prepared to take an active role.
