●HOW IT WORKS

Three steps to
peaceful screen time.

Step 01
📺

Install on your LG TV

Download TV Guardian from the LG Content Store on any webOS 4.0+ TV. Create a 4-digit parent PIN. The background service starts automatically.

Step 02
⚙️

Configure your rules

Set a daily limit (30–180 min), allowed hours per day, and optionally block specific apps like YouTube or Netflix. All settings are PIN-protected.

Step 03
🌙

Time's up — beautifully

A full-screen lock appears with a starfield animation and activity suggestions. No yelling, no arguments. Only the parent PIN unlocks.

Launching soon on the LG Content Store.

●FEATURES

Built for parents
who've tried everything.

🔒

Escape-proof locking

Background service detects Home button presses and re-locks within 300ms. No remote trick can bypass it.

⏰

Gentle warnings

Toast notifications at 10, 5, and 1 minute before the limit. Kids get a heads-up to wrap up naturally.

📅

Per-day schedules

Different hours for weekdays vs. weekends. Monday 16:00–19:00, Saturday 09:00–20:00 — fully customizable.

🚫

App blocking

Block YouTube, Netflix, or any installed app entirely. The TV returns to the home screen with a toast notification.

📱

Phone control

Lock, unlock, send messages, and change rules from your phone via same-WiFi connection. No cloud needed.

🛡️

100% private

No cloud, no account, no data leaves your TV. Runs natively on webOS — not a network hack or smart plug workaround.

Competitors don't cover
Smart TVs.

Bark, Qustodio, and FamilyTime are great for phones. None of them control your TV.

Does your child watch more TV than you'd like?

Be honest. Most parents say yes.

Frequently asked questions

Which LG TVs are supported?+
Any LG Smart TV running webOS 4.0 or newer (2018+). This includes the C4, C3, C2, C1, G series, B series, and most LG OLED and NanoCell TVs. Samsung Tizen and Android TV ports are planned.
Can my kid bypass the lock screen?+
The background service monitors app changes via the webOS Luna bus. If the kid presses Home or Back, the lock screen re-appears within 300ms. All remote buttons are blocked. The only bypass is a full factory reset — which wipes everything.
Does it send data to the cloud?+
No. TV Guardian runs 100% on the TV. All rules, usage counters, and event logs are stored locally. No network requests. No account required. Your family's viewing habits never leave your home.
What happens when time runs out?+
A beautiful full-screen lock appears with a starfield animation and kid-friendly activity suggestions. The child sees it as a natural transition, not a punishment. Only the parent's 4-digit PIN can unlock the TV.
Do I need extra hardware?+
No. A native webOS app that installs directly on your LG TV. No Raspberry Pi, no USB dongle, no smart plug, no router config. Nothing a kid can unplug.
What if I forget my PIN?+
By design, there is no "forgot PIN" flow — this prevents kids from resetting it. Reinstall the app from the LG Content Store to reset settings. Your TV and other apps are unaffected.
