What parental controls can actually give a parent
Keep an eye on your child’s safety and react in time.
Where your child is
See the available location information in the parent app and check when the point was last updated.
Safe zones and alerts
Mark places such as home or school and get an alert when your child arrives or leaves. On the free plan, alerts work for one zone.
App and game limits
Set app and game limits on Android. On a child’s iPhone, limits use Apple Screen Time and the parent needs an iPhone or iPad.
A loud signal
When your child does not pick up, send a loud signal: their phone rings at full volume, even on silent. Works on Android and iPhone.
An SOS action
Your child can send you an SOS with one tap in Tigrow, and you see where they are.
Incoming messages on Android
When your child uses Android, you can see incoming messages from supported messengers, as they appeared in notifications. Outgoing messages are not shown.
An app password on Android
App password on Android: if it is removed, the parent is notified straight away.
Peace of mind for parents.
Safety for the whole family.
Why children can understand their part of the setup
A parental-control setup works better when the child knows what is installed and what the family has agreed. Tigrow gives the child a visible part of the arrangement instead of leaving every rule in the parent app.
Wishes and rewards
The child can choose a goal and work towards it with the reward set by the parent.
Goal: Bicycle

Tasks and rewards
Homework, tidying and training can become tasks with a reward the parent sets.

What is Kid Security
In short: how the app helps families feel calmer.
Kid Security is a parental control app for families with school-age children. It shows where your child is and how much time goes on games and apps, and helps you agree clear rules instead of arguing about the phone every evening.
It works as a pair: Kid Security on the parent’s phone and Tigrow on the child’s. Tigrow turns homework and chores into tasks with rewards and gives the child an SOS button.
Setup takes a few minutes. After that the app works in the background and only asks for your attention when it matters: your child arrives at school, leaves a safe zone, reaches a game limit or sends an SOS.
Kid Security is not a tool for secret checks. It is installed openly, and the rules work best when you set them together with your child.
- Your child’s location on the map and safe-zone alerts
- App and game limits on Android, and on iPhone through Apple Screen Time
- A loud signal and SOS when your child does not pick up
- Tasks and rewards in Tigrow

What is parental control and how does it work for a child’s phone?
Parental control is a family setup that helps a parent manage agreed safety features on a child’s device. Kid Security uses a parent app and Tigrow on the child’s phone. Depending on the device and permissions, the setup can include location, alerts and screen-time tools. It is not a way to control every part of a child’s life.
Does Kid Security work with both Android and iPhone?
The parent-and-child setup has Android and iPhone flows, but features have different conditions. For example, incoming message alerts depend on the child using Android, while Screen Time on a child’s iPhone requires a parent iPhone or iPad.
What is Tigrow?
Tigrow is the child app. It is installed on the child’s phone, shows them the tasks and rewards you set and gives them an SOS button.
How are parental control apps actually different from the controls my phone already has built in?
Built-in controls, Apple Screen Time on iPhone and Google Family Link on Android, are free and work inside one platform. Kid Security puts children on Android and on iPhone into one parent app, with location, safe-zone alerts, an SOS button and tasks with rewards in Tigrow alongside the limits. On a child's iPhone, Kid Security still sets limits through Apple Screen Time.
Which parental control app should I actually get for my kid's phone?
Start with your child's phone. On Android, Kid Security sets app limits and schedules, shows location and safe-zone alerts, and your child gets an SOS button in Tigrow. On an iPhone, limits run through Apple Screen Time and you need an iPhone or iPad yourself; location, alerts and SOS work with any parent phone. The core features are free to start, so you can try the setup with your child before choosing Premium.
Can I use Kid Security for free?
Yes. The free plan includes connecting your child, location on the map, safe zones with alerts for one zone, unlimited child profiles, the SOS button and an app password on Android. Premium adds app and game limits, alerts for every zone and the loud signal.
What should I check before I enable parental controls?
Check the child’s device, the parent-device condition, the permissions required and the feature limits. Check how your family’s data is handled too: Kid Security is run by Kid Security Limited, registered in Astana, Kazakhstan, and its privacy policy states that personal data is not sold or shared with advertising networks. Explain the setup openly and agree what the family will use it for before you enable a control.
Is Kid Security a hidden app?
No. Tigrow, the child app, is installed openly and stays visible on the child’s phone. Kid Security is built to be used with your child’s knowledge, so explain the setup together before you start.
I’m choosing between KidSecurity and Google Family Link: which one gives parents more control over a child’s phone?
It depends on the phones in your family. Google Family Link is free and built to manage a child’s Android phone, with app approvals, daily limits and content filters. Kid Security puts children on Android and on iPhone into one parent app and adds location, safe-zone alerts, an SOS button and tasks with rewards in Tigrow. On a child’s iPhone, Kid Security sets limits through Apple Screen Time, so the parent needs an iPhone or iPad.
