Features
Everything you need for a safer digital life.
Four pillars, for your own phone or for your family. Each feature lists what it does, how it behaves on the device, and the honest permission cost — with links to the proof.
Family Safety
Stay connected with the safety information that matters
For families. A parent or guardian manages it from Safentora Parent or the web dashboard, and everything it does is visible on the phone it applies to.
A real family model, not one shared login
The parent owns the family, co-guardians join by invitation with their own accounts, and family devices pair with a single-use QR code.
- Partner invites: single-use links that expire in 72 hours
- Pairing: 8-character single-use codes, 10-minute lifetime, typed or scanned
- Child accounts are created and managed by a guardian

Safe zones that tell you what matters
Draw a circle around home or trace the school grounds. You get one alert on arrival, one on leaving — not a stream of noise.
- Circles and free-form polygon zones, drawn on the map
- Alerts fire in real time, and offline uploads are checked the moment they arrive
- Every alert says which zone, which child, and when

8:02 AMLocation sharing, in the open
One map for the whole family: where everyone is, whether they're online, and a 24-hour trail when you need context.
- Live updates every few seconds while the device is active
- Offline catch-up: out-of-coverage points upload later and slot into the timeline
- Presence dots show who's reachable right now
Worth knowing: Requires background-location permission, and the device shows a persistent “Sharing your location with your family” notification the whole time. A personal phone is never asked for its location. Why background location →

Digital Protection
Boundaries that show their name
For yourself or for your family. Whatever is blocked says so on the screen — never a mysterious crash or a hidden overlay.
App rules you can see
Block a specific app, or a whole category, always or on a schedule. On the phone it's a labelled block screen that says who set the rule.
- Your own rules on your own phone, or a family's rules on a family-managed one
- The block screen says whether you or your family set it, and when the app is available again
- On a family-managed phone, ask for more time or access in one tap
- Rules sync on reconnect, so a dead battery doesn't undo them
Worth knowing: Powered by an accessibility service that detects only the foreground app — it requests no window content and cannot read what's on screen. The Accessibility permission, explained →
App blocked
Your family has blocked this app.
Ask to use this appGo to home screenWeb protection that stays on the phone
Block unwanted or distracting websites, one site at a time or by category, always or on a schedule.
- Categories such as gambling, adult, social, streaming, gaming and shopping
- Allow or block a single site, and make a temporary exception when you need one
- Pause the internet for 15, 30 or 60 minutes
Worth knowing: Android shows web protection as a VPN. Safentora uses it only on the phone, to check site names against the rules — it never sees pages or keeps a history. A rule is for a whole website, never a single page, and a pause leaves Wi-Fi connected. Web protection and the VPN, explained →

For families: temporarily lock a family-managed device — with a visible notice, Settings always reachable, and emergency calls always available.
- One tap to lock, one tap to unlock, from anywhere
- Honest delivery states: applied, delivered-but-not-enforced, or waiting for reconnect
- Locking never erases data and can't touch the device's PIN
Worth knowing: Uses Android Device Administrator with only the force-lock policy — wiping or password changes are technically impossible for Safentora. Device admin, scoped to force-lock →

Digital Wellbeing
Understand how you spend time on your device
For yourself or for your family. Numbers, not guesses — and never what was on the screen.
Screen-time facts, not screen-time fights
Per-app daily totals turn 'you're always on that thing' into a conversation about actual numbers.
- Daily totals per app, with 7/14/30-day views
- Tap a day to see its per-app breakdown
- Give extra time for today without changing the daily limit
- Keep the apps that matter always allowed, whatever the limits say
- Time totals only — never what was watched, typed, or browsed
Worth knowing: Uses Android's Usage Access, which counts foreground time per app and cannot see app contents. How Usage Access works →
Screen time · this week
A focus timer that asks for nothing
Pick 15, 25 or 45 minutes and give one thing your full attention. Pause, resume or finish early.
- Works without an account
- Sessions are kept on your phone and are not sent anywhere
- Today's sessions and focused time, at a glance

Healthy Digital Habits
Limits and routines that last
For yourself or for your family. Habits hold when the rules are clear and the answer to “can I have more time?” is one tap away.
Bedtime, study time and your own schedules
Choose the days and the hours. During a routine only the apps you picked can be used.
- Bedtime, study time, or a schedule of your own
- The phone says which routine is on and when apps are available again
- Daily limits reset at midnight, and the apps that matter can stay always allowed

Every day · 9:30 PM – 7:00 AM

During a routine the phone says which one is on, and when apps are available again.
Ask for more time, get an answer
For families: on a family-managed phone, asking for more time, an app, a website or internet is one tap — and so is the answer.
- A request shows “Waiting for approval” until it is answered
- Approve for 15 minutes, for today, or always — or decline
- Give extra time for today without changing the daily limit
