Effortlessly block social media apps, restrict custom URLs, and pause the internet—all with a single app.
Hey there, parents!
If you’ve landed here, chances are you're grappling with the same issues I faced: endless hours spent on YouTube, TikTok, Dailymotion, and beyond—not to mention the often troubling content those platforms can serve up. One click on an inappropriate video, and suddenly, the algorithm serves up a steady stream of similar content, which isn’t great for a young child still learning self-control. In our own experience, we saw worrying changes in language and behavior, even complaints from school. We immediately saw a positive shift once we reduced exposure to certain websites and applications.
I tried various parental control solutions, but none of them met my expectations. Privacy was a major concern—many of these apps took control of our devices or sent browsing data to external servers, risking our family’s privacy. I wanted something simpler: a straightforward way to block specific content and keep it blocked, without complicated setups or invasive monitoring.
That’s how MindGuard came to be. Originally, it was just for my family and friends, but as more parents became interested, I decided to turn it into something anyone could use.
You can give MindGuard a try completely free for 3 days. If it’s not the right fit, you can cancel during the trial without any charges. And if you do stick with it, I’d love to hear your feedback! Reach out at support@mindguard.app or directly in the app.
Best,

"I am using this app to block unwanted URLs on my son’s iPhone. This is the first one that actually works without hair-pining the traffic through a 3rd party proxy server or VPN gateway. I love the fact that all of the filtering is done locally. I believe this will reduce our family’s T-Mobile data usage as well."

"Why has nobody made this app already? This is one of those ideas that should’ve been brought to fruition decades ago. I am already using this app across all of my family’s phones, and it is providing a convenient and effective form of parental control that I have yet to find in any other piece of software."
