The School Lock app provides parents with a mechanism to control their children's use of phone apps, integrating education with parental control.
Parents can use the app on their child's device. The parent first registers their data as a device administrator, followed by the data of the child using the device, determining their age and grade level. This allows the system to determine their curriculum.
The parent then selects specific apps on the device and conditionally blocks their use by the user (the child or teenager). The user can then unlock them by answering a question from their curriculum.
If the question is answered correctly, the user (the child or teenager) is rewarded with 45 minutes of normal app use, after which the app is locked again.
The app aims to provide parents with a tool that allows them to strengthen their children's academic and cultural development through their normal use of devices in a simple and safe manner. The app aims to leave a positive impact by allowing children to benefit as much as possible from their curriculum and the general information presented within the app.
To summarize, the app uses the Accessibility Service API to temporarily disable access to some apps until the child answers educational questions based on their curriculum and grade level.
It also uses the Accessiblity API to block apps that the parent selects to open by answering certain academic questions.
This feature is an essential part of the app and is specifically designed to help parents optimize their children's use of technology in a safe and educational manner.
No sensitive data is collected or shared, and no changes are made without the user's knowledge.
Key Features:
• Simplified display of educational questions from the child's curriculum.
• Regular statistics on the child's performance.
• The ability to link the parent's account to multiple devices.
• Manage and set usage times.
We also confirm that the use of the Accessibility Service API is done in a transparent manner and fully compliant with Google policies, with the aim of protecting children and strengthening the role of parents in oversight.
