ScreenDuty silently monitors your child's Mac during online classes. The moment they open YouTube, Roblox, or any other distraction, you get an email with a screenshot — instantly.
7-day free trial · No credit card required · macOS 12+
Online learning is here to stay. But parents have no way to know if their child is paying attention or secretly watching cartoons, playing Roblox, or scrolling through TikTok. Until now.
Features
ScreenDuty runs quietly in the background and only activates during class time.
Automatically detects when Zoom, GoToWebinar, Preply, or Google Meet is running and starts monitoring. No manual activation needed.
The moment your child switches to a blocked app or website, you receive an email with a screenshot of exactly what they were doing.
Tracks exactly how many minutes were spent off-task during each class. See the breakdown by app and website.
No dock icon, no toolbar badge, no pop-ups. Runs as an invisible background service. Your child will never know it's there.
Pre-configured to catch YouTube, Netflix, TikTok, Roblox, Minecraft, manga sites, browser games, and more. Fully customizable.
When class ends, you receive a detailed session report showing every violation, total off-task time, and what was accessed.
