Different ages, different rules.
Sorted in a Sunday arvo.
You're a parent, not a sysadmin. Manaia gives you per-child rules, age-appropriate filtering, screen time that holds the line at bedtime, and a weekly report in plain English so you actually know what's going on.
Three things
most households recognise.
Different ages, different rules.
Your 8-year-old and your 14-year-old should not get the same internet. Pre-built profiles per age. Override anything you want.
Bedtime keeps slipping.
Schedules that actually enforce themselves at the network layer. Wi-Fi cuts at 9pm whether the iPad agrees or not.
You'd like to know what's going on.
Without becoming a creep. We surface patterns worth knowing about — not messages, not keystrokes — and a weekly summary you'll actually read.
Built for
how you actually use it.
Age-appropriate filtering, per child.
Every kid gets their own profile. Pick from age-based templates, then tighten or loosen as you go. Categories include adult, gambling, violence, social media, gaming.
Schedules that enforce themselves.
Bedtime, study time, homework time. Set it once. Wi-Fi blocks at the DNS layer when the schedule hits. They can request more time — you approve with a tap.
Weekly reports you'll actually read.
Plain English, written by AI. What got blocked, what each kid was up to, anything worth knowing about. Not a spreadsheet. A paragraph.
Safety signals, not surveillance.
Manaia flags patterns — repeated visits to self-harm content, cyberbullying indicators, grooming red flags — as a nudge that says “you might want to check in.” We don't read messages.
Both parents. Same dashboard.
Blended families, separated households, shared custody. Both adults get full dashboard access on Guardian Pro. Changes sync in real time. No screenshots, no “did you change the rules?”
Nans place too.
Multi-household support — your house, your parents’ house, the holiday rental. One Manaia account, separate household policies, no extra subscriptions for grandma.
“Set it up on a Sunday arvo and haven't thought about it since. The bedtime schedule alone has saved us nightly arguments.”
— Sarah M., Mum of 3, Sydney
