YouGuard gives you real-time visibility into your child's YouTube activity, text messages, and browsing — without being invasive. Transparent monitoring that builds trust, not breaks it.
No credit card required. Set up in 5 minutes.
A parental monitoring app helps parents understand what their children are doing online. Instead of blocking everything or ignoring the problem, parental monitoring gives you visibility — so you can guide, protect, and have informed conversations about digital safety.
YouGuard takes parental monitoring further than most apps. While typical tools only report screen time or website visits, YouGuard monitors YouTube subscriptions and liked videos, SMS and MMS text messages, phone call logs, and browser activity — all from one dashboard. And it's fully transparent: your child knows they're being monitored, which builds trust rather than secrecy.
Set up parental monitoring in three simple steps — no complicated software to install.
Sign up with Google in seconds. Send an invite link to your child — they know from the start that monitoring is active.
Your child connects their YouTube account. Install the Android messaging app for SMS monitoring. Add the Chrome extension for browser filtering.
Review activity on your dashboard. Block concerning channels, approve safe ones, and get alerts when something needs your attention.
Complete visibility across the platforms kids use most.
See every channel your child subscribes to and every video they like. Block concerning channels — which actually unsubscribes them and changes YouTube's recommendation algorithm. Approve safe channels to encourage positive content.
YouGuard Messenger is a native Android app your child uses as their default texting app. Every message, photo, and video syncs to your dashboard in real time. It shows "Monitored by [Parent Name]" — fully transparent.
See incoming and outgoing calls, whether callers are saved contacts or unknown numbers, and call duration. No call recording — just the visibility parents need to stay informed.
A Chrome extension that enforces your YouTube channel approvals on computers. Unapproved channels are blocked and redirected to approved content automatically. Includes URL logging and scam site detection for senior protection.
Most parental monitoring apps just watch and report. YouGuard actually helps you do something about what you find.
When you block a YouTube channel, YouGuard unsubscribes your child and unlikes all videos from that channel. This actually reshapes YouTube's recommendation algorithm — reducing similar suggestions over time.
Your child knows they're being monitored. They connect their account voluntarily, the SMS app says "Monitored by [Parent Name]", and they can disconnect anytime. This builds trust and opens conversations.
YouTube, SMS, calls, and browser activity — all visible from one place. No switching between five different apps. One login, one dashboard, complete visibility.
YouGuard isn't just for kids. Adults use it as an accountability app with partners, spouses, or friends for mutual YouTube monitoring. Both parties get equal access — no one-sided surveillance.
