US-based Parent Geenee Inc. has launched India’s first location based parental control app – Parent Geenee. The app empowers parents to choose specific locations where they can block upto 450 of the most popular apps. Unlike conventional apps, Parent Geenee dynamically adapts to real-world settings allowing parents to customize app usage based on their child’s location. It goes beyond traditional screen time management by offering a more personalized approach. Parent Geenee’s innovative ‘Wish’ feature encourages thoughtful app use, allowing children to request their parents, access to one restricted app at a time.
“Parenting in the digital age isn’t about restricting technology—it’s about guiding children to use it responsibly. With the Parent Geenee app, we’re looking to empower parents to enable children to safely explore and navigate the digital world. We strongly believe that Digital parenting should not be a restrictive process but a collaborative one, where both the child and the parent are co-passengers in a journey in which both learn and evolve, as they progress. Team Parent Geenee is committed to affecting a paradigm shift from digital monitoring to collaborative mentoring!” says Sasi Naga, Co-founder & Chairman, Parent Geenee Inc.
Parents can manage all their children’s devices under a single account, making it ideal for families with multiple children or households with multiple devices. Parent Geenee is a Freemium app – has a free and premium subscription version and is available for both iOS and Android devices. The Beacon accessory is available for purchase in the U.S., U.K., and India via the official Parent Geenee website. The aim is to be a premium yet accessible digital parenting solution, bridging the gap between traditional monitoring apps and full-scale child surveillance tools. Parent Geenee emphasizes family privacy and does not collect usage data from children’s devices. Any data collected is securely encrypted to ensure the highest level of protection.
Parent Geenee for Schools – As children spend a significant amount of time in their schools, the Parent Geenee app also has a dedicated school version designed to empower educators. Instead of confiscating student devices, teachers and administrators can use an integration of its Parent Geenee for Schools to manage security and communication needs while safely disabling non educational apps and content while on school premises without physically confiscating phones, promoting a balanced digital learning experience.
Key Features of Parent Geenee app:
Customize Screen Time by Location: Parents can set up Safe Zones for home, school, or even a friend’s house to block access to selective apps in each setting. Additionally, parents are notified when their child enters or exits their customized Safe Zones.
Enhance Supervision with the Beacon: An optional Beacon accessory refines control even further, allowing parents to manage screen time by room and set up chill-zones- for example, enabling educational apps in the study room while limiting games to the living room.
Encouraging Thoughtful App Use: With the Wish feature, children can request access to only one restricted app at a time, teaching them to make mindful decisions instead of mindlessly scrolling.
App Download Approval: Parents can activate a feature that requires their child to seek approval before installing new apps, allowing them to have a conversation about appropriate app choices and potential risks.
Web Content Filtering: Beyond app restrictions, parents can block access to age-inappropriate websites, ensuring a safer browsing experience for their child.
Effortless Setup & Multi-Device Management: With a one-step QR code linking process, parents can easily manage multiple children’s devices under a single account.
