Parent Mode: Control everything remotely from your own Android parent device. Child Mode Seamless boundaries built directly into your child's device. Manage screen time limits, hide distracting apps, track live locations, and monitor web browsing using our built-in SPIN Safe Browser. Try it completely free for 14 days! Samsung Galaxy Exclusive: Advanced Knox Security Boomerang is uniquely integrated with Samsung Knox to prevent tech-savvy kids from bypassing your rules. By controlling devices at a secure system level, we block common Android workarounds that defeat generic tracking apps: Prevent Safe Mode Bypass: Smart kids frequently use Android Safe Mode as a screen time bypass to disable tracking apps. Boomerang blocks Safe Mode entirely to keep boundaries secure. Disable Multi-User & Guest Mode: Prevents children from creating secondary profiles or switching to Guest Mode to access an unprotected web browser and social media. Disable Multi-Window & DeX: Blocks split-screen view and Samsung DeX, ensuring second apps cannot be opened secretly to sneak around your app limits. Force GPS Location On: Locks your child’s device location settings natively so they can never manually disable location tracking or turn off their family locator. Tamper-Proof Settings Protection: Advanced system-level protections stop children from altering your rules or turning off active parental control settings. What You Can Do (Child Mode) App Blocker & Limits: Set strict per-app time limits (e.g., limit social media or TikTok to 15 minutes a day) or block apps entirely. Instant Pause: Time out all user-installed apps on demand and hide them when it's time for dinner or to unplug. Family GPS Locator: Keep tabs on your child’s real-time location history and ensure they arrive safely. Safe Web Filtering: Automatically block millions of inappropriate websites, pornography, and unsafe search engines using SPIN Safe Browser. Track YouTube History: See exactly what your child searches for and watches on the official YouTube app. Good to Know * Requires an internet connection and works seamlessly on both Cellular and Wi-Fi data. * Highly Secure: Don't let the frustrated 1-star reviews from kids fool you; Boomerang gives parents the ultimate tamper-proof peace of mind! * This app uses the Device Administrator permission and AccessibilityService API to perform key functions such as screen time enforcement and app controls. * Notification Access: Required to mute notifications when screen time has expired. * System Requirements: Supports Android 9.x and higher. * Our terms and conditions are available here: https://useboomerang.com/terms-of-service-agreement The Boomerang Mission We believe parental controls should open conversations, not just lock things down.
