ClearGuard helps you set up layered explicit-content protection across iPhone and iPad. The app combines a Safari content blocker, installable DNS protection profile, guarded-site checks, Screen Time controls, device coverage status, and tamper-resistance settings in one streamlined dashboard. Useful mixed-use sites can stay available while explicit domains and risky paths are handled by policy. ClearGuard also helps you verify settings for services like Reddit, choose between Standard and Optimal protection, and add focused controls such as reels blocking when short-form feeds need to stay out of the way. Key features: - Block known explicit domains by default. - Export a protection profile for device-wide DNS filtering. - Enable Safari content-blocker rules. - Run safety checks for Screen Time, Browser Guard, guarded-site verification, reels controls, and backend sync. - Review coverage across iPhone and iPad. - Use cooldowns, partner approval, and bypass shielding for stronger protection. Some protection layers require Apple permissions, device management, or administrator approval.
