Gertrude

Gertrude lets you block the entire internet, only unlocking the portions you choose. Keep your kids only and exactly where you want them to be online. Plus, review screenshots and keystrokes of their activity from your own computer or phone. Available now for Apple computers.

Most internet safety tools try to block categories of the internet. With 2 billion websites, and tens of thousands more being added every day, it's simply impossible to maintain up-to-date lists correctly categorizing even a fraction of dangerous websites.

So it's not safe to block only categories of the internet, but taking the reverse approach is hard. Rather than give up and settle for the illusion of safety, Gertrude makes this manageable by letting you:

• Choose exactly where your kids are allowed online, and make sure they can't go anywhere else. No other mac internet filter allows the same level of strict control.
• Add or remove sites from your own personal safelist from your phone or computer, wherever you are.
• Get text, email, or Slack messages when your kid needs access to a blocked site or requests a temporary suspension of the mac internet blocker.
• Temporarily allow the whole internet, while recording screenshots of their activity and everything they type with a built-in mac keylogger.
• Manage all your kids with one account, sharing lists of safelisted sites when it makes sense. Only $5/month for the whole family.
