Customizable web filtering by age and category

Mobicip allows parents to block or allow websites across 50+ categories, including adult content, social media, and gaming. The filtering engine works at the DNS level, meaning it catches content across browsers and apps. Parents can create custom allowlists and blocklists for specific sites their children need for school projects.

Business outcome: Reduces the risk of children accessing harmful or distracting content without requiring parents to manually review every website.

Time limits and schedules per device and profile

Parents can set daily screen time budgets and schedule device-free periods, such as during meals or bedtime. The system enforces limits across all connected devices, preventing children from switching to another device to bypass restrictions. Time limits can be adjusted for weekends versus school days.

Business outcome: Establishes healthy digital boundaries that adapt to family routines, reducing arguments about device usage.

Detailed logs of browsing history and app usage

Mobicip generates weekly and monthly activity reports showing which websites and apps children accessed, how much time they spent, and any blocked attempts. Reports are delivered via email and accessible through the dashboard. Parents can drill down into specific days or time periods.

Business outcome: Provides actionable visibility into children's online behavior, enabling informed conversations about digital habits.

Real-time GPS location and geofencing alerts

The platform includes location tracking for iOS and Android devices, showing where children are in real time. Parents can set geofences around home, school, or other safe zones and receive alerts when children enter or leave those areas. Location history is available for the past 30 days.

Business outcome: Offers peace of mind by combining digital safety with physical location awareness in a single dashboard.

Block or allow individual apps with usage limits

Parents can view all installed apps on a child's device and choose to block specific apps entirely or set time limits per app. This is particularly useful for managing addictive games or social media platforms. App blocking works on both iOS and Android devices.

Business outcome: Gives parents granular control over which apps their children can use and for how long, targeting the most common sources of distraction.

Instant internet shutdown for all connected devices

With one tap, parents can pause internet access across all devices associated with a child's profile. This is useful during arguments about screen time or when immediate attention is needed. The pause can be set for a specific duration or lifted manually.

Business outcome: Provides a quick, non-confrontational way to enforce digital boundaries without physically taking devices away.

• Setup complexityInitial configuration requires installing profiles on each device and configuring VPN settings, which may be challenging for non-technical parents.
• VPN dependencyThe filtering engine relies on a local VPN connection, which can occasionally interfere with school networks or corporate Wi-Fi.
• Limited social media monitoringMobicip blocks social media sites but does not monitor private messages or in-app activity within platforms like Instagram or Snapchat.
• Professional RealityMobicip is a reactive monitoring tool—it cannot prevent children from creating accounts on new devices or accessing unfiltered networks outside the home.

Homework-focused screen time management

Parents can schedule device-free periods during school hours and homework time, then allow recreational access after assignments are complete. The system automatically enforces these schedules across all devices.

Multi-child household with different age profiles

Each child gets a separate profile with age-appropriate filter settings and screen time limits. A teenager might have broader web access but stricter social media limits, while a younger child has a more restrictive profile.

Shared family device management

For families sharing a tablet or computer, Mobicip allows multiple profiles on the same device, each with its own rules. This prevents younger children from accessing content intended for older siblings.

Remote monitoring during school breaks

During summer or holiday breaks, parents can adjust screen time limits and enable location tracking to monitor where children are and how much time they spend on devices when routines change.
