Does anyone know of a good privacy respecting (preferably FOSS) parental control app for Android? I’m trying to convince a friend to get a Pixel with GrapheneOS as their kids next phone but they won’t do it unless it let’s them control certain things.

They’re used to iOS where apparently their kid can request to download an app and they can remotely allow the installation. They can also add screen time beyond the original set limit if the kids requests it.

Unfortunately, I don’t think they’d be open to switching if it means losing their parental controls.

    Graphene would allow them to create a non-owner profile with no APP store. That way, their kids wouldn’t be able to install anything and the parent could install apps in the owner profile and then permit the kid to use it.

    Screen time and such would not be configurable though I think.
