PearGuard vs OmoSafe

PearGuard is a privacy-focused, peer-to-peer parental control app. The parent device pairs directly with the child device — no accounts, no servers, no subscriptions. Your family's activity data lives only on the devices you pair. PearGuard is designed for families where the child uses an Android device. The parent can use Android or iOS. FEATURES Screen Time Limits Set daily time budgets and bedtime windows on the child device. Per-App Policies Allow, block, or time-limit individual apps by category or one at a time. Activity View See what's been used and when, directly from the parent device. Time Requests The child can request extra time; the parent approves or denies from their device. Privacy First No account creation. No email address. No tracking. No ads. Activity never leaves the paired devices. Open Source PearGuard is free and open source. Source code is available on GitHub. PERMISSIONS Camera — used to scan QR invite codes when pairing with a child device. Photo Library — used to set profile photos.

Screen time, safe browsing, location, safe zones, SOS. One family safety app. OmoSafe is one family safety app for parents and children. Install it on your iPhone and on your child's iPhone, choose Parent / Guardian or Child device, and link them with a one-time code. OmoSafe runs openly on your child's phone, and your child can see exactly what you can see. HEALTHY SCREEN TIME (uses Apple's Screen Time) • Daily limits, app and category limits, and a bedtime that locks apps overnight • Your child can ask for more time, and you approve or decline from your phone • Lock now for dinner, homework and family time • You choose the apps on your child's iPhone with Apple's own picker. Apple keeps the exact minutes per app private, so OmoSafe shows approximate usage on iPhone. A SAFER INTERNET • Block adult websites with Apple's Screen Time web filter, plus single websites you choose • SafeSearch for Google, Bing and DuckDuckGo, and YouTube Restricted Mode, through a family-safe DNS setting that your child switches on once on their iPhone (OmoSafe shows how) LOCATION AND SAFE ZONES • Live family map with each phone's battery and last update • Safe zones with arrival and departure alerts (1 per child on Basic, unlimited on Family) • Scheduled zones, such as school hours on weekdays • Location history, so you can see where your child has been today SOS ON EVERY PLAN • Your child taps Get help now and every guardian gets an urgent alert with their location, repeated about every 5 minutes for 30 minutes if no one responds • Trusted adults who confirm their email also get an SOS email with the location • OmoSafe is not an emergency service and never calls emergency services. In an emergency, call your local emergency number. APPLE WATCH • A big SOS button on your child's Apple Watch • Fall alerts while the OmoSafe watch app is open • Apple Watch has no screen time controls FAMILY FIRST • Private family chat between children and guardians • Invite a co-parent by email with the role you choose (Family plan) • Optional weekly insight, only if you turn it on • 13 languages in the app • Parent web portal at app.omosafe.com, so you can check in from any computer HOW OMOSAFE LOOKS AFTER A CHILD'S PHONE OmoSafe is made for parents and guardians to look after their own children, with the child's knowledge.
