Self-control and parental control that stays on your Mac

YeahFilter blocks adult content, programs and websites and enforces screen time limits. Anyone may switch a protection on; only the console password switches it off. Everything YeahFilter records stays on your computer.

What it does

Adult protection

Blocks adult websites in every account through curated and downloaded lists, SafeSearch and browser policies, also while other limits are paused.

Self-blocks

Any user can block a website, a keyword or a program for themselves, without end or for 15 minutes to one year.

Parental controls

Schedules, daily and weekly time limits, website and app rules and a usage history for children's accounts.

Allowed browsers only

When switched on, Safari is the only browser that may run, and the built-in web views of known apps reach only their own domains.
