Frost FamilyGuard — Parental Control & Family Monitor for Windows PCs (Coming Soon)

What's Inside

Real protection, honestly described

Category web filtering — 24+ categories, each set to Allow, Warn, or Block per child. Age presets (Under 8, 8–11, 12–14, 15–17) configure everything in one choice; every setting can be overridden afterwards.
Works in every browser — including private windows. Filtering happens below the browser, so Chrome, Edge, and Firefox are all covered, and incognito mode changes nothing.
Custom block & allow lists — block a specific site, or allow one a category got wrong. Allow always beats a category block; block always beats a category allow.
Allow-list-only mode for the youngest kids: only the sites you approve can open at all.
Forced Safe Search + YouTube Restricted Mode — switched on at the network level for Google, Bing, and YouTube, not just in one browser's settings.
Screen-time controls — daily limits, bedtime schedules, per-app time caps, routines (School, Bedtime, Free Time), a one-click Homework Timer, gentle warnings before lock, and Instant Lock when you need it.
App & game controls — block specific apps and games, get an alert the first time any new program runs (even a portable one that was never “installed”).
Parent dashboard — sites visited, blocked attempts, searches, YouTube videos watched on youtube.com, app usage, and screen time, as a clear timeline — on the PC, behind your parent password.
Email reports & instant alerts — daily or weekly digests, plus immediate alerts for red-flag blocked attempts, new apps, and tampering. Sent from your own email account to you — never routed through us.
Tamper protection — settings, pause, and uninstall all require the parent password; protective services watch each other and restart if stopped; protection stays on in Safe Mode; tampering attempts are logged and alerted.
Kid-friendly block pages — a blocked site explains why, and a Request Access button lets your child ask you to allow it.

The Honest Box

What FamilyGuard does — and what it doesn't

It does

Show you which sites your child visits, what they search for, which YouTube videos they watch on youtube.com, and which apps they use and for how long
Block by category, list, schedule, and time limit — in every browser on the PC
Keep every log encrypted on your PC, under your control, with retention you choose
Stay visible: your child can see it's there. It's protection, not spying

It doesn't — and won't

No keylogging. No screenshots. No hidden mode. No mainstream family brand offers them, and neither do we
No reading inside apps — we see that Discord or a game ran, and for how long, never its messages or voice chat (true of every competitor too)
No phone app and no change-rules-from-anywhere portal in v1 — rules are set on the PC; that's the trade for total local privacy
Nothing stops a child who has an administrator account, boot media, or a different device — our setup wizard prevents the first one, and we say the rest out loud

What's included (at launch)

Frost FamilyGuard for Windows 10 & 11 — Family plan covers all your kids, up to 5 PCs
Free tier: 1 PC, core filtering + time limits, 7-day report history
Setup wizard that creates the child Standard account with you, step by step
30-day money-back guarantee
Email support: frizzlelogger@gmail.com

Requirements — please read

A parent Administrator account on the PC, and your child signs in with a Standard account (the wizard creates one with you). This is a hard rule for every product in this category: an administrator child account can turn any protection off.
For email reports: an email account that supports app passwords (Gmail/Outlook/Yahoo walkthroughs included in the wizard).
Filtering keeps working offline on cached rules; the PC should be online for category updates.

Planned at $49/year per family

Annual, all your kids, up to 5 PCs — with a free 1-PC tier so you can try the core protection first. Join the launch list for one email at release.

FamilyGuard FAQ

Do you receive my child's data?

No. There are no Frost servers in FamilyGuard. Logs live encrypted on your PC; email reports travel from the PC through your own mail account to your own inbox. The only thing our software ever checks online is whether a newer site-category database exists — that request contains nothing about your child.

Will it work in private/incognito browsing?

Yes. Filtering is enforced below the browser, so private windows are filtered and logged the same way. Search terms and full-page detail come from an optional browser component for Chrome, Edge, and Firefox — without it, you still get full filtering and domain-level history.

My child is tech-savvy. Can they just turn it off?

Not with a Standard account: settings and uninstall need your parent password, the protective services restart each other if stopped, protection runs in Safe Mode, and attempts are logged and can alert you instantly. If your child knows your admin password or has another device, no product in this category can stop that — we'd rather tell you than sell you a fantasy.

Can I approve a blocked site or extra time from my phone?

In v1, requests are decided in the parent console on the PC (an optional same-home-network viewer is planned). You'll get an email alert that a request is waiting. An anywhere-portal would mean sending your child's data to a cloud — the thing this product exists to avoid.
