Everything you need to take control

--block

Per-app time limits

Set daily time limits for individual apps. Instagram gets 45 minutes, YouTube gets an hour. You decide what's reasonable.

--enforce

Instant enforcement

When time runs out, the app is blocked immediately. No warnings to dismiss, no workarounds. A terminal-style block screen appears.

--monitor

Real-time monitoring

See exactly which apps are running and how much time has been used. Live updates from the child's device to your dashboard.

--sync

Cloud-synced rules

Change a rule on your phone and it takes effect on your child's device within seconds. Firebase-powered real-time sync.

--request

Access requests

Children can request more time or access to a blocked app. You approve or deny from your device with a single tap.

--protect

Tamper protection

Device admin prevents uninstallation. Accessibility service detects attempts to disable protections. You get alerted immediately.

How it works

1

Install on both devices

Install SudoParent on your phone and your child's phone. One app, two modes.

2

Pair your child

Generate a pairing code on your device. Enter it on theirs. Child mode locks permanently.

3

Set the rules

Choose which apps to limit and for how long. Set schedules, block categories, or allow everything.

4

Enforce automatically

The agent runs silently in the background. Rules are enforced in real-time, no interaction needed.

Ready to take control?

Built by a parent, for parents. No ads, no data selling — just control that actually works.

Coming soon to Google Play

Built by Jabezz Solutions — a developer-parent who got tired of parental controls that don't actually work.

SudoParent requires accessibility service and device admin permissions to function. The child agent runs as a foreground service to monitor and enforce app usage rules. SudoParent does not collect or transmit data beyond what is necessary for rule enforcement and usage reporting between paired devices.
