ClearGuard for families

Simple controls. Easy setup. No hassle.

Build healthier device habits with straightforward controls for apps, schedules, and web access. Set up quickly, manage everything from one parent portal, and cancel anytime.

Home protection

Guidance that stays understandable.

Parents get practical controls without turning everyday family technology into a surveillance system.

Choose when school mode or focused device time should be active.

App controls

Set which applications are appropriate during protected time on supported Windows devices.

Safer browsing

Use the ClearGuard browser extension to apply visible website rules and block unsafe or distracting destinations.

Your family’s privacy comes first

We never sell your personal data or use it for advertising. ClearGuard stores only the account and device information needed to provide the service—without screenshots, keystrokes, or private-message contents.

Three simple steps

Get your family up and running.

ClearGuard guides you through the essentials without a complicated installation process.

1

Create your parent account

Start your trial and use the secure welcome email to create your private family portal.

2

Add each child

Create a child profile and choose its weekly focus schedule. Shared Website Rules are optional.

3

Pair each Windows PC once

Assign each child to their standard Windows account. Supported browsers and app inventory then follow the child who is signed in automatically.

What happens after I pair a PC?

ClearGuard syncs standard Windows accounts and installed apps to your Family portal. Assign each child to their own Windows account, then choose schedules, blocked apps, and website rules. Supported browsers follow the Windows account currently signed in.

A shared laptop can have separate accounts for several children. Pair the PC once, then assign each account independently.
