Interactive Dashboard

Reviewing your child's daily activity just got a lot more simpler and interactive. With the new dashboard, you can view your child's schedules, goal progress, daily screen time usage, and adjust settings on the go.

Social Media Monitor

With Mobicip's social media monitor features, you can monitor your child's Instagram, Facebook and Snapchat's (Snapchat available only for android devices) activity real-time and detect potential risks from cyberbullies, online predators, and more. Mobicip will actively monitor and alert you about dangerous posts on your child's social media account. 

Schedules

We believe managing is better than restricting. The screen time restriction has been replaced with schedules. Use schedules to organize your child's day. Multiple schedules can be created for each day with each schedule allowing access to specific apps and websites.

Daily Screen & App Limit

Using Mobicip's Daily screen and App limit feature, you can help inculcate healthy screen habits in your child. This feature allows you to set the maximum screen time allowed per day and also set daily time limits on apps. The child also has an option to request for grace time which can be sent as a request with an explanation for the same.
