SofeaApp: Parental Control App

SofeaApp is a parental control and family safety app that helps parents manage their child’s Android device more easily.

Set healthy phone routines, limit distracting apps, check your child’s location, and keep parental controls running automatically without repeated reminders.

Install SofeaApp on the parent’s phone and SofeaKids on the child’s Android device. Connect both devices using the pairing code provided in the app.

MANAGE YOUR CHILD’S SCREEN TIME

Create daily schedules for school time, bedtime, study time, family time, or other routines.

When a schedule starts, selected games, social media apps, video platforms, and other distracting apps can be limited or blocked automatically.

LIMIT OR BLOCK SPECIFIC APPS

Choose which apps your child can use.

With SofeaApp, you can:

• Block selected apps
• Set app usage schedules
• Restrict games and entertainment apps
• Keep important apps available
• Apply phone rules automatically

This helps your child build healthier digital habits without constant arguments or repeated reminders.

CHECK APP USAGE

See how your child uses their phone and identify which apps take up the most time.

App usage information helps parents understand their child’s digital habits and create more suitable phone rules.

VIEW YOUR CHILD’S LOCATION

Check the current location of your child’s connected device directly from the parent app.

Real-time location monitoring can help parents feel more at ease when their child is outside the home, at school, or travelling.

Location accuracy may depend on the device, GPS signal, internet connection, and surrounding environment.

SEND AN ALARM TO THE CHILD’S PHONE

Send an alarm from SofeaApp when you need your child’s attention.

The alarm can sound even when the child’s phone is in silent mode, depending on device permissions and settings.

PROTECTION AGAINST UNAUTHORIZED REMOVAL

SofeaKids includes protection designed to help prevent the child app from being removed or disabled without the parent’s knowledge.

Parents can also receive notifications when a new app is installed on the child’s device.

New apps can be reviewed and, depending on the selected settings, blocked automatically.

STAY CONNECTED

Parental controls do not have to block everything.

Parents can decide which essential apps remain available, such as phone calls, messaging, school apps, transportation apps, or other important tools.
