Net Nanny

Parental control and web filtering software for families.

Visit Net Nanny

Net Nanny is parental control software that helps parents filter internet content, block pornography, manage screen time, block apps, track device location, and review children's online activity. Its content detection technology analyzes web pages as they load rather than relying on a fixed list of blocked sites, with options to block, warn, or allow websites based on profile settings.

Management is handled through the web-based Parent Dashboard or an iOS app. Features include an Internet Filter, Screen Time Management, Website Blocker, Block Apps, Track Location, Alerts and Reporting, a Family Feed with real-time alerts and search visibility, YouTube Monitoring, and Social Media Protection. It runs on Windows 10 and 11, macOS 10.13 to 11.x, and iOS 11 and higher.

Net Nanny is intended for consumer and home use. It is packaged as annual subscriptions: a single-device package for Windows or macOS, or Family Protection Passes covering 5 or 20 devices across Windows, macOS, and iOS. Existing single-license customers can upgrade to a Family Protection Pass.
