WhiteCat is the parental controls app that actually works. No more late-night TikTok. No more endless YouTube before homework. Requires a WhiteCat router, sold separately at whitecatfamily.com — the app is the remote control, the router does the blocking. Without one there is nothing here to control. NO ROUTER YET Tap "Try the Demo" on the welcome screen. You get the real app filled with a made-up household, the Smith family — their people, their devices, their rules, their schedules. No hardware, no sign-in, no account. Have a look around before you spend anything. WHAT YOU NEED • A WhiteCat Wi-Fi 6 router, sold separately at whitecatfamily.com • This app, to set the rules and see what happened • Nothing installed on your kids' devices WHY THIS ONE HOLDS You have probably tried this before. An app on your kid's phone that got deleted. A screen-time setting that got switched back off. A filter that stopped at the browser and never touched the game. And a 10-year-old who came home from school knowing which free VPN undoes all of it. The difference is where the rules live. Not on the phone. On your router. Every device on your Wi-Fi asks the WhiteCat router where to go, and blocked answers never come back. One rule covers every phone, tablet, laptop, console and TV on the network, in every browser and every app — not only the ones that agreed to be managed. Switching apps doesn't help. Private browsing doesn't help. VPN and proxy sites are blocked as well. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Block TikTok, YouTube, Roblox, Instagram or anything else in one tap • Apply it per person, per device, or to the whole family • Per-person rules — Emma gets YouTube, Jon doesn't • Bedtime at 10 PM, gaming off at 7 on school nights, enforced automatically • SafeSearch on every device, always on • Pause the internet for everyone in seconds • See every device on the network, online or offline • Change any of it from anywhere Bedtime stays bedtime without you standing in the doorway. You stop being the bad guy. The router says no, on schedule, every night. FOR KIDS AND FOR GRANDPARENTS The same network-level blocking that keeps Roblox off on a school night keeps scam sites, phishing and malware away from the people in your family most likely to click. Blocklists update daily. PRIVATE BY DESIGN We don't sell your family's data. We don't mine it. We don't share it. Your activity stays on your router and in your app, not in an ad network's database. WHAT COSTS MONEY AND WHAT DOESN'T Buy the router and it works. Malware, scam and phishing blocking for every device on your Wi-Fi is included — free, with no time limit. The Family plan adds the parenting side: per-person schedules, screen-time rules, app blocking, SafeSearch, gambling and adult content blocking, and weekly insights. EUR/USD 5.99 per month, or 49.99 per year. First month free with every router purchase. WHO SELLS WHAT The app is published by White Cat Cloud Inc.

SCHEDULES • "+15m" now properly extends a schedule that is already running. Before, tapping it on a running schedule could cut it short — on a bedtime rule the block stopped early. Fixed. • "Start" now appears only when a schedule is about to begin, so one can no longer be stretched across the whole day by accident. • Schedules assigned to nobody are now flagged — previously they enforced nothing, silently. HOME • Faster, steadier home screen, with a tidier family card • An adult with no restrictions now shows as a plain status rather than a red warning SETUP & DEMO • The demo you can try without a router now always opens live, instead of sometimes showing an offline router • A friendlier first-run setup Also: lower background battery use, and fixes throughout. ### 1.1.1 — 2026-08-09 bug fix ### 1.1.0 — 2026-06-24 No release notes. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
