## What is Lion Browser?

The best browser for teens. A powerful accountability tool for adults.

Lion is a web browser with parental controls built in. Give your teen the freedom to explore the internet responsibly — while staying informed about what they're seeing.

For parents & teens:
• Blocks explicit websites and detects inappropriate images automatically
• Customize detection sensitivity, block specific sites, and manage media access
• Whitelist mode for complete control over which websites can be visited
• PIN-protected settings prevent unauthorized changes
• Weekly accountability reports summarize any flagged content

For adults who want accountability:
• Set personal browsing limits and stay accountable to a trusted partner
• Private and secure — your logs stay on your device, never stored on servers
• Customize what to track, block, or filter based on your needs

How it works:
1. Set Lion as the default browser
2. Disable Safari using Screen Time
3. Add an accountability partner — a parent, mentor, or trusted friend
4. Browse the web — Lion logs activity based on your settings
5. Receive weekly reports on flagged content

A browser you'll actually want to use
Lion is fast, smooth, and familiar. Bookmarks sync across devices. Tabs work like you'd expect. It's a real browser — not a locked-down kids app.

Subscription required for full access. Choose an Individual or Family plan.

### 5/5 — Great Browser!

*2026-04-14*

I have been using this browser from its beginning! It is a great accountability app that has modernized with technology! It works just like mainstream browsers with added features! Highly recommend!

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-03-15*

Amazing browser! I highly recommend it.

### 4/5 — Good so far

*2026-02-28*

Been using the lion browser for several years, love it, just upgraded to the family app

### 5/5 — Using AI for good

*2026-01-03*

Lion Browser uses AI to detect explicit images on websites. When it detects something it flags that website and adds it to a weekly log that it sends to parents or partners. It’s the best app to teach teens how to be responsible online. Also I love that it has a whitelist because my younger kids can use it then. Only the websites I approve can be visited. Super helpful for homeschooling.

### 5/5 — Great accountability tool

*2025-11-14*

The browser is done very well. Easy to use. I really appreciate being able to set attraction type when setting alerts for the app, and I like the color theme controls. Only issue is that the scrolling feels just a little bit off at times.

### 5/5 — Great Browser

*2025-09-23*

Lion Browser is a solid browser because it has parental controls built in. I love that we can get daily history logs for my teen daughter to keep her accountable and responsible online.

### 5/5 — A gem

### 5/5 — Great Browser

*2025-02-22*

Lion Browser is a solid browser because it has parental controls built in. I love that we can get daily history logs for my teen daughter to keep her accountable and responsible online.

### 3/5 — No customer support

*2025-01-16*

I like a lot about what this app does, but when I reached out to the developer about a year ago, with a question and concern, I got no response. Then three months ago, my weekly report stopped getting emailed to my partners. I didn’t realize it until a few weeks ago. So I reached out to the support email provided and have heard nothing back on that as well. So, the app is pretty good, but customer support is nonexistent.

**Developer response:** Hey Smass, did you reach out to contact@lionbrowser.app? If so, I apologize for missing your email. I am usually very responsive. Please reach out and I'll fix your issue. Looking forward to hearing from you.

### 5/5 — Laptop

*2024-11-03*

I love this app I just wish it was available for use on laptops!

**Developer response:** A Mac version of the app is in the works. Keep an eye out for it over the next few months. All the best!
