Everything Kidova does
One app for kids protection, ad blocking and a real VPN, with a parent app your children can’t switch off.
Kidova Shield
Kids protection
Blocks adult content, gambling, violence, drugs, dating, scams, malware and phishing. Enforces SafeSearch and YouTube Restricted Mode. Age presets set sensible defaults for every child.
- Categories per child, adjustable any time
- SafeSearch and YouTube Restricted Mode
- Age presets from young children to teens
- “Report a wrong block” reaches our list team
Kidova Clean
Ad and tracker blocking
Removes ads and trackers network-wide inside the tunnel: in browsers, most free games and many apps. Also blocks malvertising and scam ads for parents.
- Meta, TikTok, Snap and X ads and tracking in other apps and websites
- Scam, phishing and malware protection for parents too
- Not inside YouTube, Instagram or TikTok feeds, see the FAQ
- Not in the Google Play version (store policy)
Kidova VPN
A real VPN for the whole family
A full WireGuard tunnel to our servers in Germany encrypts all traffic, on home Wi-Fi, school Wi-Fi, mobile data and hotspots. Parents get it for their own devices too.
- Full tunnel, servers in German data centers only
- Protection follows the device on every network
- Hard to bypass: DNS tricks and other VPN apps are blocked
Time
Schedules, pause and homework mode
School time, homework time and bedtime, enforced on our servers in your family’s time zone. Pause the internet for 15, 30 or 60 minutes, or until tomorrow. A 15-minute warning before bedtime avoids abrupt cut-offs.
- Clock changes on the phone do nothing
- Daylight saving time and midnight are handled
- Homework mode: learning sites and school platforms only
- Bonus time from a notification
Ask a parent
Access requests
When a site is blocked, your child sees why and can ask you with one tap and a note. You approve for 15 minutes, a day, or always.
- A friendly message instead of a dead end
- Approve or decline from the notification
Reports
Privacy-first reports
Weekly counts by category. No browsing history by default. Detail mode (Family Plus) keeps blocked site names for 7 days and is shown to your child.
- Weekly summary in every plan
- 30 days (Family) or 13 months (Family Plus)
Tamper alerts
Tamper alerts and timeline
If a child’s device stops being protected, you’re told. The timeline shows “VPN turned off”, “removal attempt” and “reconnected”, so you can tell bypass from a technical problem.
- One-tap diagnostics when the internet isn’t working
Whole home
Routers, TVs, consoles and laptops
Add a WireGuard configuration or QR code to devices that can’t run the app. Family includes 2 configurations; Family Plus has no limit within your device cap.
- Works with the official WireGuard apps
What we deliberately don’t build
-
Reading messages and social media
Invasive, largely impossible on iPhone, and against our privacy promise.
-
Stealth monitoring
Your child always sees that Kidova is active. Hidden spying is a legal and ethical red line.
-
Location tracking
Not in version 1. Phones already have Find My and Family Link.
-
Breaking encryption
We never read encrypted traffic or install our own certificates.
