Net Nanny

Net Nanny is a parental control software application developed by ContentWatch. It is designed to monitor and filter internet content on various devices, including computers, smartphones, and tablets. The software aims to protect children from inappropriate online material, manage their screen time, and provide parents with insights into their online activities.

Key features of Net Nanny typically include:

• Web Filtering: Blocks access to websites categorized as inappropriate based on pre-defined or customizable filters (e.g., pornography, violence, hate speech).
• Screen Time Management: Allows parents to set time limits for overall device usage or specific apps.
• App Blocking: Restricts access to specific applications on a device.
• Social Media Monitoring: Monitors social media activity for potentially risky behavior or content.
• Location Tracking: Provides the ability to track the physical location of a device.
• Alerts and Notifications: Informs parents about specific online activities or attempted access to blocked content.
• Internet Activity Reporting: Generates reports on a child's internet usage, including websites visited and searches performed.

Net Nanny competes with other parental control software applications such as Qustodio, Norton Family, and Kaspersky Safe Kids. It is available as a subscription-based service. The software's effectiveness and the breadth of its features are often subjects of reviews and comparisons within the parental control software market.
