We're parents and builders who believe kids deserve a connected childhood that's both fun and safe โ and that parents deserve tools that are honest, gentle and effective.
Ark Parental Control started with a simple frustration: the tools meant to keep kids safe online often felt creepy, clunky, or built to spy. We wanted something different โ software that helps families set healthy boundaries, used openly, while treating children with respect.
So we built an app that does the hard work quietly in the background, surfaces only what truly needs a parent, and is meant to be used openly with your child. No dark patterns. No selling data. No ads aimed at kids. Just calmer screen time and a little more peace of mind.
Every feature is judged by one question: does it genuinely help a family stay safe and connected? If not, we don't build it.
We collect the minimum we need, secure it carefully, never sell it, and give you full control to export or delete it.
We encourage parents and kids to talk about how the app is used. Tools work best when they're not a secret.
We tell you plainly what each platform can and can't do โ and we never claim to collect what a system won't allow.
Protection only matters if it keeps working. We build to survive reboots, app-switching and spotty connections.
We design to meet children's privacy laws around the world, so families everywhere can use us with confidence.
A few choices that shape the product you use.
We build on Apple and Google's own safety frameworks instead of fighting them, so protection feels native and stays dependable.
We'd rather collect less. Nicknames over real names, recent location over constant trails, summaries over raw surveillance.
Families tell us what real parenting needs. That feedback drives our roadmap far more than any feature checklist.
Thousands of moments of screen-time peace start with one simple setup. We'd love to have your family on board.
