I built a parental control app that collects zero data — here's why

Hey Product Hunt! 👋

When I became a dad. And I realized my kids had zero protection online.

So I did what every parent would do — I researched every parental control app on the market. Norton Family. McAfee Safe Family. Qustodio. Bark. Net Nanny.

They all had the same problem: they protect your child by collecting their entire browsing history and storing it on their servers.

That's not protection. That's a trade.

So I built Defenras.

Same level of threat detection. AI-powered. Real-time blocking of 254,000+ harmful domains — adult content, gambling, phishing, vaping, crypto scams, social media.

But with one fundamental difference: we collect zero data. Nothing. Ever.

Your child's browsing history never leaves their device. No logs. No tracking. No third-party sharing.

Other things parents love:

→ PIN locked — kids literally cannot turn it off

→ Emergency panic button — child sends live GPS to parent with one tap

→ Guardian alerts — you get an email if the app is removed

→ Parent dashboard — manage every device remotely

→ Works on iPhone, Android, Chrome, Edge, Firefox

We also built a business version that protects employees from phishing and malware — same zero data philosophy.

Just launched on both the App Store and Google Play. Also available as browser extensions.
