Unmanaged screen time can hurt a child’s sleep, studies and physical activity. Parents need a dependable way to set digital boundaries without watching over their child’s shoulder all day.

Kahf Guard is a parental control suite with an App Time Limit feature for children’s devices. It lets children enjoy their favourite apps within a time limit you set in advance.

What You'll Need

  • The Kahf Guard app on your (parent/admin) device
  • Your child's device added under Family Protection
  • About 3 minutes

On Your Child's Device

Make sure the permissions Kahf Guard needs are enabled on your child's device.

Why Set Time Limits on Your Child’s Device?

  • Teaches time management: children learn to value their digital time.
  • Reduces conflict: an automatic limit means fewer arguments about screen time.
  • Encourages offline play: once digital time is up, children are more likely to turn to physical activity.

Step 1: Open the Family Protection Portal

Open the Kahf Guard app on the parent/admin device. Go to the Family Protection (Parental Control) section.
