Control apps are mobile-only
Family Link, Kids360 and most others work on phones and tablets. The computer is left unattended.

Parental controls on the computer, not just the phone
Almost every parental-control app lives on phones, while kids play on the computer. Gardion sets limits and blocks on Windows and holds them when a child starts looking for a way around.
Install on the PCWhy the computer is harder
Games are installed locally
Steam, Minecraft and shooters launch from disk. Website blocking does nothing to them.
Workarounds are one search away
VPN, Safe Mode, a second account, changing the clock — a PC offers more tricks than a phone.
Nobody sees it at night
A parent notices a phone; a monitor glowing behind a closed door goes unseen.
what gardion does
What Gardion does on Windows
No reading messages, no screen recording. Just time, access and honest rules.
- ✓
A daily limit and a schedule
Different time on weekdays and weekends, a block during school hours and after bedtime. Time runs out — the computer locks.
- ✓
A limit on one specific game
Not “an hour at the computer” but “forty minutes of Roblox”. Homework and drawing don’t eat into the limit.
- ✓
Over 40 VPN apps are closed
The most common workaround is closed at the system level, not in the browser.
- ✓
Safe Mode won’t help
An attempt to boot into Safe Mode or remove the agent sends you an alert. System files heal themselves.
- ✓
A break with a warm-up
Every half hour the screen locks and the helper shows an exercise. In strict mode the screen stays locked until the child does it.
- ✓
One account for the PC and the phone
Windows and Android are set up from one dashboard, on your own phone.
