What’s inside

Gardion brings rules, safety and family contact into one clear product.

screen time

Control screen time

Limits by app and category, flexible schedules and break reminders.

apps and websites

Safer access to content

Website and app filters block unwanted content and unsafe resources.

schedules

A flexible daily schedule

School, downtime and sleep — rules follow your family routine automatically.

contact and location

Always connected, always safer

Location, safe zones, SOS and a direct line to the parent on the child’s device.

panic button

Help is one tap away

The button sits in the notification shade, in the ongoing notification and as a home-screen widget. The parent gets an alert with the location, and a three-second cancel window covers accidental taps.

Bypass protection

Gardion notices third-party VPNs and clock changes, and restores deleted files on a PC.

School mode

Only learning apps stay available during school hours. Included in Premium.

One family dashboard

Every child and device lives in one account.

History without spying

See time in apps. Screenshots are taken only on request, in Premium.

What it looks like in use

Four short scenes show the parent dashboard, the child’s device and the main controls.

01

The parent dashboard

Time left today, per-app limits and stars for finished tasks. One screen, no tabs and no reports to dig through.

on the child’s device

What your child sees

Children can see how much time is left, message a parent or ask for 15 more minutes. During a break, Gardion shows a short warm-up.

Gardion

Break options

On-screen warm-up

Gardion shows one of ten full-screen exercises.

Break schedule

A parent sets how often a break comes and how long it lasts, and can end it from their dashboard.

Camera game

The camera counts the moves on the device, and no video is uploaded. A parent can turn the camera off, and each break earns the child a star.

why Gardion

Screen time can be earned

A parent creates a task and sets the reward. The child marks it complete, the parent checks the result, and saved stars can be exchanged for extra time or a family reward. Tasks, rewards and prizes are included in Premium.

Works away from home

Rules run on the device itself, not only on your home network.

Only a parent disables protection

Gardion repairs itself on Windows, and Android settings are protected by a PIN.

Data stays in Russia

Gardion uses servers located in Russia.

bypass protection

The common ways around parental controls are already covered

Gardion blocks the main Windows bypass methods and alerts parents to tampering. New methods are added through updates.

  • On a PC, known VPN apps are shut down. On a phone, the parent is notified about a third-party VPN.
  • Changing the clock or the time zone does not give a child extra time.
  • Deleted or modified Gardion files on a PC are restored automatically.
  • Rules run on the device itself — at home, at school or away.

No protection is absolute. Gardion makes bypassing the rules much harder and shows parents when a child tries to tamper with them.

Frequently asked

The six questions we hear most often.

Free costs nothing and has no time limit, but it's deliberately the bare minimum: 1 PC, one shared daily limit and real blocking — so you can see for yourself that the protection works. Breaks, schedules, per-app limits, Android and anti-bypass are already in Family. Free is a way to try it out; ongoing protection needs a paid plan.
