Kidslox combines free basic controls with broad monitoring and scheduling across four platforms.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Kidslox is a parental control service for parents and legal guardians managing children’s iPhone, iPad, Android, Windows and Mac devices. Its feature set covers daily screen-time limits, recurring schedules, individual app blocking, website and content filtering, instant remote locking, location tracking and activity reports. Parents can also review browsing and search history, YouTube activity and selected activity from Instagram and TikTok. It fits families looking for controls that extend beyond screen-time limits into location and activity monitoring.
The published plans show a free starting point, a three-day free trial, and paid tiers billed annually. Free supervises one child device and limits manual mode switching to five times per day. Basic costs $4.17 per month when billed annually and adds web filtering, location tracking, daily limits and schedules, individual app blocking, and statistics reports for one device. Family costs $6.67 per month when billed annually and supports 1–10 devices with the same listed controls. Guardian includes unlimited access to Kidslox features, up to 10 supervised devices, and unlimited parent accounts.
Platform coverage is a central strength, with support for iOS, Android, Windows and macOS, plus remote management between iOS and Android devices. The feature mix is broad: location history, browsing and app-usage reports, social-network monitoring, and Android remote screen screenshots sit alongside standard scheduling and blocking tools. However, the service does not present every control as platform-neutral; some monitoring and advanced features vary by device platform. Choose Kidslox if your household needs affordable coverage across multiple device types and wants location and activity tools alongside screen-time controls. Families needing identical controls on every platform should compare platform-specific capabilities before choosing a plan.
