Parent Geenee, India’s first location-based parental control app launched

Team L&M

US-based Parent Geenee Inc. has launched India’s first location based parental control app – Parent Geenee. The app empowers parents to choose specific locations where they can block upto 450 of the most popular apps. Unlike conventional apps, this one dynamically adapts to real-world settings allowing parents to customise app usage based on their child’s location. It goes beyond traditional screen time management by offering a more personalized approach. The app’s innovative ‘Wish’ feature encourages thoughtful app use, allowing children to request their parents, access to one restricted app at a time.

“Parenting in the digital age isn’t about restricting technology—it’s about guiding children to use it responsibly. With this app, we’re looking to empower parents to enable children to safely explore and navigate the digital world. We strongly believe that Digital parenting should not be a restrictive process but a collaborative one, where both the child and the parent are co-passengers in a journey in which both learn and evolve, as they progress. We are committed to affecting a paradigm shift from digital monitoring to collaborative mentoring!” says Sasi Naga, Co-founder & Chairman, Parent Geenee Inc.

Parents can manage all their children’s devices under a single account, making it ideal for families with multiple children or households with multiple devices. It is a Freemium app – has a free and premium subscription version and is available for both iOS and Android devices. The Beacon accessory is available for purchase in the U.S., U.K., and India via the official Parent Geenee website. The aim is to be a premium yet accessible digital parenting solution, bridging the gap between traditional monitoring apps and full-scale child surveillance tools. Parent Geenee emphasizes family privacy and does not collect usage data from children’s devices. Any data collected is securely encrypted to ensure the highest level of protection.

Parent Geenee for Schools
As children spend a significant amount of time in their schools, the app also has a dedicated school version designed to empower educators. Instead of confiscating student devices, teachers and administrators can use an integration of its Parent Geenee for Schools to manage security and communication needs while safely disabling non educational apps and content while on school premises without physically confiscating phones, promoting a balanced digital learning experience.
