Chrome extension · parental control

Keep the classon the screen.

Name the class, set how long it runs, and list the sites it needs. Everything else stops opening until the session ends — and afterwards you get a report of what actually happened.

What it does

Only the class, for the length of the class.

Allowlist, not blocklist

Name the few sites the class needs. Everything else stops, so nothing new slips through.

Timed or open-ended

Set 45 minutes, or run it until you end it. The session closes itself when time is up.

Catches open tabs

Tabs already sitting on something else are pulled into the session too — and returned afterwards.

6-digit parent PIN

A session can't be ended early without it, so a child can't simply switch it off.

Sign-in still works

Joining a class with a school or family Google account isn't broken by the block.

A real report

Time on task, time away, how many times attention left, and every site turned away.

Privacy

Nothing leaves the browser.

OnTask makes no network requests. Here is the complete list of what it writes to your device — there is no other copy, and no way for us to read this one.

  • Your programs (class name, length, and the sites allowed during it).
  • A salted PBKDF2 hash of your parent PIN (the PIN itself is never stored).
  • Session reports for the last 60 sessions, including hostnames of blocked sites.

OnTask is still in beta

It is being tested in real homes before it goes on the store. Updates go out on X when there is something to say.
