a Chromium browser with self-control and parental-control filtering. the filtering act is happening in the browser only. Why use a Browser to filter your internet there, if there are other filtering apps that already filter the entire device ? There are 3 reasons why: 1: you can bypass many iOS filtering apps (if you are an adult) via the iOS settings app, by disabling their filtering option there. this is why i made this browser: it doesn't suffer from this problem. 2: a lot of filtering apps can filter navigation at a very basic level, for example, they can "block youtube" or "open youtube" , but they can't half-block youtube. the browser can half-block a website, by blocking & allowing specific pages - in the same website. 3: our interface and ease of use, are top level. we always try to make everything as clear as possible. What does Lockteens include ? Our philosophy: Above all else, our philosophy gives you the freedom to decide how your filtering should behave. Whitelist, no Blacklist: We have blacklists, but we are a Whitelist-focused filter, first and foremost. whitelist filtering is harder to make, but it provides a much better filtering experience. Parental Control: Invite your friend to manage you, or manage each other. (your friend doesn't need to pay a subscription to manage you) Self Control: anytime you want to approve something, you need to wait a specific period of time, could be hours, could be days. depends on what you want and set beforehand. AI Tags: Why work hard ? our AI will tag any new website you visit and open it for you if it's harmless. AI Parent: you can define an AI with a specific personality that you can ask it to approve websites for you. Allow filtering per Youtube channel: Our filtering allows you to whitelist entire youtube channels and only them. check the feature "super trusted whitelist" in the app to learn more. Notes: - Using this app costs money, after you will install this app, you will face a paywall. - You can see our Terms of Use (EULA) at this link: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ - I warmly recommend you to use Apple's Screen time, to block yourself from installing new apps. otherwise Lockteens Browser won't be as effective. - If you need help or have questions, feel free to reach me, I have great passion for filtering apps. I have been making filtering apps for 6 years. since 2020.
