What you can block

Block a whole category in one tap.

Flip a category and every app and site in it gets blocked — both in the app and the browser.

Instagram YouTube Snapchat X Facebook Netflix Prime Video Hotstar Spotify Roblox Steam Epic Games ChatGPT Gemini Claude
Adult content Gambling Social media Streaming Gaming Ads & trackers AI Assistants

Blocked in the app and in the browser. Zaksha blocks the service itself, so switching from the Instagram app to Instagram in a browser doesn't get around it. Add any specific site of your own on top.

Bedtime and study hours, handled.

Pick a time, pick what pauses. It repeats every week on its own.

Bedtime

Internet off at bedtime.

The phone goes quiet overnight, so no one's scrolling at midnight.

Why Zaksha

Protection, not surveillance.

Zaksha blocks what you don't want — without reading over your child's shoulder.

What Zaksha does

Everything you need to keep them to a safer internet.

  • Blocks adult, gambling, social, streaming, gaming, ads & AI
  • Blocks in the app and the browser
  • Filtering follows onto mobile data & any Wi-Fi
  • Bedtime & study-hour schedules, pause on demand
  • Holds on when your child switches it off
  • Works without your child's passwords

What we'll never do

The things monitoring apps sell — we refuse them by design.

  • Read their messages or chats
  • Track their location
  • Log every site they visit
  • Need your child's passwords
  • Keep history beyond 7 days
  • Sell or share your family's data
Built to stay on

Turn Zaksha off, and the fun stops too.

Most parental controls come off the moment a child deletes the app. Here's what happens on a Zaksha phone instead.

1

They switch filtering off.

A child can turn Zaksha's filtering off on their own phone — on an iPhone, even Screen Time won't stop that. So Zaksha is built for exactly this moment.

2

The apps you picked are blocked.

The instant filtering is off, the apps you chose — social, games, whatever you set — are blocked and won't open. Calls, messages and the basics keep working.

3

You're told — and you decide.

You get a WhatsApp straight away. From there it's your call: unlock the apps right now, or leave them locked for the cooldown. The control stays with you, not them.

And beyond iPhone: on Android, a fresh-phone setup can't be uninstalled at all; on Windows, it's locked behind the admin password. Kept honest — on iPhone your Apple ID password can reset the Screen Time passcode, so keep it private. Can my child turn it off? The full answer →

We check the door, not what's inside.

Your private life stays private

We can see that a device asked for youtube.com — never your messages, photos, passwords, or what's on a page. We couldn't read them if we tried.

History that doesn't pile up

Activity is kept for 7 days so you can check in on the week, then it's deleted for good. Nothing builds up a permanent profile.

Your data stays in India

Everything runs on our servers in India and never leaves them. Your family's data is never sold, and there are no ads or trackers.

Works on all of them — at the strength you choose.

Every device gets the core: category blocking, per-child schedules, and filtering that follows onto mobile data and any Wi-Fi. The only difference is whether locking it down needs a fresh-phone setup.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

What is tamper protection? Can my child turn it off?

On a family iPhone a child can switch DNS filtering off — Screen Time doesn't prevent that — but Zaksha then blocks the app types you've chosen and alerts you on WhatsApp, keeping them paused for a 30-minute cooldown once it's back on; a Screen Time passcode you set stops them deleting the app. Keep your Apple ID password private, since Apple lets it reset that passcode. On Android you choose the level: the standard install is tamper-evident — you're alerted the moment it's removed — and the fresh-phone setup is tamper-proof: Zaksha can't be uninstalled. For offices and schools, our supervised (MDM) setup is tamper-proof across the fleet.

Does it work on mobile data, not just home Wi-Fi?

Yes. The Zaksha app lives on the device, so filtering follows your child onto mobile data and any Wi-Fi — not just your home network.

What exactly can Zaksha see?

Website names only — that a device asked for youtube.com, never your messages, photos, passwords or what's on a page. History is kept for a rolling 7 days, then genuinely deleted. Everything is processed and stored on our servers in India and never leaves them. No ads, and nothing is sold.

Which categories can I block?

Adult content, gambling, social media, gaming, streaming — and AI chatbots like ChatGPT and Gemini, which parents switch off in exam season. Each category is one switch, set separately for each child's device, and you can add specific sites of your own to the block list.

Does Zaksha block ads and trackers? What about YouTube ads?

Turning on Ads & trackers blocks the third-party ad and tracker networks that follow your child around the web — the pop-ups, banners and trackers across the sites and apps they use. It doesn't strip the ads shown inside an app like YouTube, because those are served from the same place as the video itself, so blocking them would stop the app working. In short: it cuts third-party advertising and tracking, not an app's own in-stream ads.

How do I set Zaksha up on each device?

iPhone, iPad and Android use the Zaksha app; Windows installs a small agent (as an administrator) and Mac uses a configuration profile. For the strongest Android setup, you set Zaksha up on a freshly reset phone as its device owner, so it can't be removed. You get guided, step-by-step instructions for each platform on the Get the app page.

Is there a free trial, and how do I pay?

Every account starts with a 14-day free trial. After that, pay by UPI or a debit or credit card — monthly, or annually at a discount (₹149/month, 40% off during the Diwali sale) — and cancel anytime.
