Developer Description
Recover your digital health—block porn, apps, and other harmful online content
Safe Surfer is packed full of features to enable you and your family to surf the Internet without fear:
➤ Safer Surfing
Safe Surfer blocks a wide range of pornographic and adult websites. Once protection is enabled, these websites cannot load on your device.
➤ Eliminate Distractions

➤ Remote Control (Pro)
Use the web dashboard to remotely block sites and view the device's browsing history.
➤ Mail Alerts (Pro)
Regularly send blocked sites and screen blackout events to an admin or accountability partner.
➤ Internet History (Pro)
View detailed browsing history stats on the device or remotely.
➤ Pin Protection
Built-in pin lock functionality ensures that only you or an accountability partner can configure protection and other settings inside the app.
➤ Prevent Uninstall
With a PIN code, prevent uninstalling or disabling the app without permission from the admin. Requires enabling the Accessibility Service using the checkbox under "enable always-on".

Powered by machine learning, Screencast detection is a new way to deter the viewing of inappropriate content. When Screen blackout is enabled and triggered, a screenshot is taken and stored securely, along with the screen being temporarily blacked out.

Safe Surfer protection keeps your device protected—no matter what kind of network you are connected to.
➤ Zero ads and low resource footprint
Safe Surfer is ad-free and has a minimal impact on your device's resources.
Notes:
• As a monitoring app, Safe Surfer must be installed by the legal owner and/or custodian of this device solely for personal usage, monitoring a child for which you are a legal guardian, or monitoring employee usage on a device owned by an organization. Using Safe Surfer for other/malicious purposes is stricly prohibited. A persistent notification shows at all times when Safe Surfer is active.
• As a parental control app, we use the Android AccessibilityService API for the sole purpose of stopping device users from uninstalling protection without the permission of a parent (or an accountability partner).
• As a parental control app, we use the Android VPNService API to filter online content according to your settings. This VPN does not change your IP address/country on the internet, nor does it affect your internet speed.
• Some mobile service providers and Internet service providers in certain countries hijack the ability to use specific DNS settings. The Safe Surfer app relies upon this ability. If this is the case in your country with your service provider, the Safe Surfer app may not work properly on your device.

Safe Surfer: Block Porn & Apps users say on Google Play
This app is very great, especially when you have an accountability partner that I don't have yet. you can change settings to help block social media and explicit content, which I find amazing and strategic. The producers are very kind and have pleasant attitudes, which is very admirable. Going on, there's a lot of negativity pushed in this world. I'd 100% recommend checking this app out, but what could be added is an auto locking phoen feature, where if you watch any explicit content,it locks.
hello there, I have an issue with the app. yes it worked well in the first time but because I forgot the pin to get into the app so I wouldn't have any way to get into it. and the worst thing that I did too that I deleted the device from my account (in the website's app) so now even if I want to reset the pin I couldn't get this option because it said to me this notification "Please enter the details for the account the device was originally registered to." may you please help me here!
This app is great; I really like it, especially the create PIN feature that lets me guess the PIN to enter, preventing me from changing the settings. Another thing I like is that the VPN stays active, though there are times when it gets disabled when I use a freezer app. It can also block background-running apps, so it doesn't work even if I pay for it since I can just use a freezer app. please adjust the system to keep this app running even when placed in a freezer app or mode.
It always flags every screen, app, or function on your phone but does not tell you when inappropriate material shows up or even block it, report on it, or anything unless you pay for it. Then you can't even uninstall this useless app although you turn it off and disable it on the app itself. What a waste!
Hi, I would like to adjust my settings on the app. but unfortunately, I don't remember my password also the email I connected it to has been deleted. could you help somehow?
