Browsely – SafeBox is a safe browser for families and supervised use that uses on-device AI for content filtering, website blocking, and private web browsing. Browsely helps create a cleaner, more controlled browsing experience — with image and video analysis performed on your device. WHY FAMILIES CHOOSE BROWSELY Most safe browsers rely only on website blocklists. Browsely adds a second layer: on-device AI that analyzes actual images and video frames on the page. This helps manage visual content on sites that may not yet appear in any blocklist. • On-device AI image & video analysis • Built-in website category filtering • Built-in ad & tracker blocker • Real-time blur protection • Browsing content stays on your device • No subscription required PRIVACY-FIRST DESIGN Content analysis runs locally on your device. Browsing content, images, and video frames are not sent to our servers. No account is required to use Browsely. • On-device processing — no cloud inference for content analysis • No registration or account needed • No third-party advertising SDKs • Passcode-protected family settings KEY FEATURES AI Content Analysis Browsely's on-device AI analyzes images and video frames to help identify sensitive visual content — including adult-oriented imagery — without sending content to the cloud. Instant Visual Protection Flagged content can be covered with a protective blur before it fully renders. Choose from Gaussian, Pixelate, or Blackout styles, and adjust sensitivity to suit your household. Smart Video Analysis Browsely analyzes video content frame-by-frame, including fullscreen players and thumbnail previews. Blur is applied and held when flagged content is detected. Website Category Filtering Choose which types of websites are allowed. Filter categories such as adult-oriented sites, gambling, and known unsafe domains — with an adjustable strictness slider. In-App Ad and Tracker Blocking Optionally block ads and known trackers while browsing inside Browsely using Apple's WebKit content rules. All blocking happens on-device." Unsafe Site Warnings When a site shows a high concentration of flagged content, Browsely displays a warning page before loading it. Multi-Tab Browsing Open multiple pages with full tab support. Active sessions are saved and restored between uses. Family Dashboard Monitor detection history, browse statistics by content category, review browsing history, and manage all settings from one place. CUSTOMIZABLE CONTROLS • Adjust AI sensitivity per content type • Select which content categories to filter • Monitoring mode — detect without applying blur • Create home screen shortcuts for approved sites • Automatic browsing history cleanup • Passcode-protect family settings STATISTICS & INSIGHTS View monthly detection summaries, category breakdowns, and browsing history to help adjust protections over time. WHO IT'S FOR • Families sharing devices at home • Adults who prefer a cleaner, filtered browsing experience • Educational and supervised environments • Anyone seeking a more private, controlled web browser Support: support@kidsnanny.ca Privacy Policy: https://kidsnanny.ca/privacy-policy/
