Limiting duration of daily or weekly use of computers or tablet and Internet access

You can set time limitations for the computer, tablet or smartphone and Internet for every day of the week and or for the entire week. If several children share the same computer, you can assign a time for each of them and avoid arguments. According to age or needs, you can assign different time frames for each child.

Setting access times to websites, programs or Apps.

Your children can access the Internet for schoolwork. During this period they should not access social networks or IM (Instant messaging). You can limit Facebook or MSN to periods you define. You can block certain network games such as WoW (World of Warcraft). These Apps will only be allowed to run in time slots agreed. Accessing them, uses up the allocated internet access time.

For Android, it is possible to restrict browsing to some known websites.

Blocking computers or tablet and Internet access

During the night, the device can be completely blocked by Parental control: each child can have their authorised daily schedule for their session or Internet use with an outright ban on any set time period. For example, a child may be allowed Internet access for one hour per day but forbidden access between 9 pm and 7 am. Similarly, a child's session can be deactivated at certain times of the day with a maximum usage time allocated during authorized periods.

Block downloaded Android Apps

Children can now download a huge range of Android applications. It becomes increasingly difficult to monitor them all. The NetAddictSoft Android version can block all downloaded apps (already downloaded and those that will be in the future). If this option is selected, only the explicitly permitted Apps can be launched. The authorization  can also cover both the duration of use and the allowed time slots.

Grouping Apps and programs by category

Parental Control allows you to group programs, Apps and websites by category. Time controls and schedules apply to the category. It is possible to consolidate all gaming programs in one GAME category and allocate the child a total time for playing. You can create as many categories as you want.

Exceptional time allowed for a day

It may happen that your child needs extra time. You can grant additional time for one day. This special day can be declared in advance or be the current day. This feature prevents parents having always to restore the usual settings after an occasional change: this is done without changing the restrictions defined for a typical week.

Parental Control White List

Your children should also be able to freely access certain educational websites. The White list feature allows you to define sites for which no limitation of time or access will be imposed.

Blacklist

The blacklist of more than one million "adult" sites is automatically updated.

Keywords for parental control.

NetAddictSoft also allows you to define your own keywords blacklist.

Remote control of user accounts

If your children prevent access to their computer, or if you are not home to change settings, NetAddictSoft can be remotely administrated. You can monitor and change NetAddictSoft settings over the Internet (with any browser).

Accumulated time consumed on multiple devices

A child who is using several computers, tablets or phones, even with different accounts is able to see all of their usage time recognized and controlled by NetAddictSoft . In association with NetAddictMobile , the solution for android tablets and smartphone , the child can move from one device to another and total usage time will be added and taken into account for the daily limits.

NetAddictSoft can send usage statistics of computer or tablet use by your children via email. You can choose the frequency of this statistics: daily, weekly ...

"I have banned some sites, in agreement with my children. But I can also check the browser history stored by the parental control to see what is being accessed and adapt the list of blocked sites as necessary. I want the parental control to send me an email with details on children's computer usage, so I can decide whether to limit the duration of use and restrict access to certain websites."
