Monitor your kid's computer use with Watchover

Only $ 9.99

Sit anywhere in your house and use your iPhone, iPod touch or iPad to see what your kids are doing on their computers.

Cyber safety is a challenge. Unless you are leaning over your kid's shoulders it can be hard to know what they're doing on their computers. Watchover provides screenshots, so you can see what they see. Watchover also records which programs are being used, when they are used, and for how long. Just like watching your kids in the park, Watchover lets you keep an eye on them from a distance.

So while the children are in their bedrooms, you can connect from your iPhone, iPod or iPad and view what they've been doing for the last few days - or see what is on their screens right now.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Watchover block any websites, emails or people?

No. Watchover is just a monitoring app, it won't stop your kids from doing anything at all. Watchover only monitors what is going on on the computer.

Will my kids know Watchover is installed?

Yes. Hobbyist Software's philosophy is to encourage appropriate computer use and safety through responsibility. The Watchover Owl appears in the application tray (Windows) or the Menu bar (Mac OS) to let your kids know you are looking out for them. The idea of Watchover is to give them some freedom to use the computer responsibly and appropriately, with the security of knowing you are there to help and keep them safe.
