Get started
Protected in under fifteen minutes
No technical know-how needed. Just follow the steps — we'll handle the rest.
Create your parent profile
Sign up with email (RealMe in Aotearoa). You'll set up two-factor authentication — it keeps the powerful controls in your account safe.
Add your tamariki
A nickname and an age band is all we need. WhānauGuard suggests an age-appropriate starting profile for each child.
Enroll devices with a QR code
Open the WhānauGuard app on the device and scan the QR code from your dashboard. No long codes to type, no technical setup.
Choose protection
Start from the suggested profile or set your own rules. Every restriction is an explicit parent decision — nothing is blocked by default.
Live in the dashboard
See devices, usage and location from anywhere. Change any policy from your phone — no need to touch your child's device.
Setup questions
How long does setup take?
Most families are fully set up in under 15 minutes. Enrolment is the only technical step, and the QR code handles it.
Do I need to be technical?
No. The dashboard explains everything in plain language, and every step has guidance built in.
What if my child's device isn't supported?
We support Android, iPhone & iPad, Windows, Mac and Chromebook. Check the platform comparison on our Features page for exact capabilities.
Your whānau's rules, on every device — automatically.
Join families who trust WhānauGuard to keep their tamariki safe online — without spying on them.
