RaiseSteady Guard

Calm, age-right browsing for children: site filter, safe search, time limits, bedtime, focus mode and ad blocking.

RaiseSteady Guard helps a parent keep a child's browsing calm and age-right, without spying. Choose the child's age and Guard sets sensible limits. A parent can change every one of them behind a PIN. What it does - Site filter: blocks adult sites and sensitive topics, in seven languages. - Safe search: turns it on in the main search engines. - Time limits: a daily limit for browsing and a separate one for videos, with a clear "time left" view. - Bedtime: browsing pauses at the hour you choose. - Focus mode: hides YouTube Shorts and recommendations, so a video is watched, not scrolled. - Ad blocking: fewer distracting and unsafe ads. - Calm block pages: when something is blocked, the child sees a kind message and ideas for what to do instead. - Parent PIN: only a parent can change the settings. Your privacy - Nothing is sent to RaiseSteady. There is no account and no tracking. - Minutes, site names and search words stay on this computer (30 days; requests 7 days). The PIN is stored only as a hash. - Two optional connections can be switched off: a family-safe DNS service, and YouTube checks used by Focus mode. - Full policy: https://raisesteady.com/guard-privacy Free and open source (GPL-3.0).
