Helmit helps parents protect their children online and encourage healthy digital habits. Whether it’s social media, screen time, apps, websites, or location, Helmit gives families the tools they need to guide their child’s digital life in a safer and calmer way. Helmit protects children from online risks such as cyberbullying, grooming, inappropriate content, and dangerous contacts on social media. When a potential risk is detected, parents receive an alert with the context they need to step in at the right moment. At the same time, Helmit helps families set clear and healthy boundaries for smartphone use. Set daily limits, block distracting or age-inappropriate apps and websites, create routines for school time, bedtime, homework, or family time, and stay informed about your child’s location when it matters. Helmit is built for modern families: protective, easy to use, and privacy-first. Social Media Protection - Alerts for potential risks such as cyberbullying, grooming, explicit content, and other online dangers - Detection of harmful patterns in chats, images, audio, and videos - Contextual alerts that help parents understand when support may be needed - Protection preserving the privacy of your child Parental Controls Screen time tracking, daily limits, app blocking, app limits, web filters, routines, location tracking, and location alerts. Privacy First Protection Helmit focuses on meaningful alerts and practical tools instead of constant surveillance. Data is used only to protect the child and support the parent or guardian. Monitoring Transparency Helmit is a parental control and child monitoring app for parents and legal guardians. It does not operate as a hidden surveillance tool. When monitoring is active, Helmit displays a persistent notification on the child's device for transparency. Why Helmit Uses Certain Android Services To provide reliable child protection, Helmit needs access to certain Android services. These services are used only for parental control, child safety, and protection features. Helmit does not sell data, share data with advertisers, or use these permissions for unrelated purposes. VpnService Helmit uses Android VpnService to filter web content locally on your child’s device. This helps block harmful or inappropriate websites in real time across browsers. The VPN works entirely on the device. It does not route internet traffic to an external VPN server and is used only for web filtering and child safety. Helmit does not collect, store, or share browsing data through this feature.

This data is processed only on the device and is not transmitted or shared with anyone. Location Services Helmit uses location services to show parents their child’s real time location, send alerts when a child enters or leaves a safe zone, and support the child’s physical safety. Location data is only accessible to the parent or guardian account, transmitted securely and encrypted, and never shared with third parties or advertisers. App Usage Tracking Helmit tracks app usage to show parents which apps are being used and for how long, identify excessive use of social media or games, and help families make informed decisions about app access.
