What Gardion does

Everything below is included in Premium. Family covers the core: limits, schedules, bypass protection, GPS with one zone, SOS and chat.

01

Bypass protection

Gardion blocks VPN apps on Windows and catches clock changes on both the PC and the phone.

  • A second user profile on Android: Gardion tells you about it.
  • Forgot your PIN? A recovery code replaces it, and it works offline.
  • Gardion restores its own files on the PC. Removing it takes the parent PIN or a recovery code.
  • On Android, if your child turns on their own VPN, you get a notification. Turn on “Filter over VPN” and Gardion switches the other VPN off.
02

Limits and schedules

Per app, and separately for weekdays and weekends.

  • TikTok ten minutes, Roblox an hour — a limit per individual app.
  • Schedules for school hours and bedtime. Ready-made day modes: school day, vacation, sick day, weekend, guests, holiday.
  • A limit for a group of apps, such as all games. The daily limit can be shared across your child’s devices or set per device.
  • School mode is part of Premium: during lessons your child keeps access to school apps and sites.
  • Your child asks for “+15 minutes” from the device, and you decide.
  • School holidays are set by dates. On those days the school hours in your schedule are skipped, and bedtime still applies.
  • During “Everything open on a schedule”, limits and breaks are off and time isn’t counted. Blocked apps and the website filter keep working.
03

Breaks with a stretch

At set intervals Gardion calls your child to get up and move.

  • Three levels: an animation, an exercise video, or a warm-up in front of the camera.
  • The camera turns on only during the warm-up, and only on that level.
  • Helpful when a doctor has asked your child to get up and stretch regularly.
  • There are ten kinds of exercises in rotation: squats, jumping jacks, side bends and more. Each finished warm-up earns your child a star, up to five a day by default.
04

Tasks, stars and rewards

Your child earns screen time through chores and schoolwork. Chores are part of Premium.

  • You set a task, your child marks it done in their own app.
  • Completed tasks earn stars, and stars buy rewards that you define yourself.
  • Your child sees tasks on Android. On Windows, stars from breaks trade for minutes.
05

GPS, geofences and SOS

Where your child is and whether they got there. Android only.

  • Home, school, clubs: you get an alert when your child enters or leaves a zone. Family includes one zone, and Premium lets you add as many as you need.
  • Your child sends an SOS from the lock screen, the quick settings or a home-screen widget, and you get their location and battery level. Without a connection, the alert goes out as soon as the phone is back online.
  • There is no geolocation on Windows; this is a phone feature.
06

Chat and reports

Chat with your child, screenshots on request, activity history.

  • You message your child and get a reply right inside the app — no third-party messenger needed.
  • Premium: request a screenshot, and your child confirms it on their screen. The screen is never recorded continuously.
  • What was launched and for how long — all in the parent dashboard.
  • In the browser history, tick the sites and block or allow them with one button. History is kept for three days on Family and thirty days on Premium.
  • In Premium, you get an alert when your child opens a site with a flagged word.
  • The weekly chart splits each day into ordinary time, extra time, admin mode, lesson and unlocked time. Tap a day to see it hour by hour.
