Making Computer Use More Child-Friendly
Ryan Saville, founder of KidsLockWindows.com
Calling all computer savvy parents! This week, a BETA
version of KidslockWindows.com is being released in the Windows store. An App
that provides a security system for parents to oversee their children’s
activity on the computer has never before been offered for the Windows
platform.
The idea for this App was created by a parent of two young
children with multiple Windows-based computers in their home. He struggled
himself to monitor his children’s computer activities, and imagined creating a
platform that would allow him to decide which programs and activities his
children could access on their home computers. With over 200 million copies of
Windows 8 sold, the software is now a central part of more than 1.5 billion
people around the word. Unfortunately, the Windows platform is missing a
critical safety measure for percentage of its customers.
Ryan Saville, founder of KidsLockWindows.com wanted to solve
the issue: “We need a simple solution that will protect our children when using
tools like the Windows Store. I enjoy my kids playing on the computer, I just
want to have better control on what they see and do.”
Thus KidslockWindows.com was born, both out of necessity but
also out of need. KidsLockWindows.com will be the first software of its kind
focused on providing a ‘Kiddie Lock’ lock for parents. Saville states: “Imagine
a clean white interface, showing large icons with a simple timer that counts
down and locks after a certain time period, giving peace of mind back to
parents but still allowing our little ones to still grow their necessary
computer skills.” In the future the company expects the software to be
subscription similar to an antivirus.
Microsoft has established a “Family Mode” within the
platform allowing you to block or allow specific websites where as
KidsLockWindows.com wants to provide a ‘security blanket’ over the entire
operating system allowing parents to just show the icons or educational games
you want your child to use.
Presently, the company is searching for parents that want to
become BETA testers to help trial this new software the registration is open
till May 21st, 12:00 PM. Visit KidslockWindows.com to join the BETA test.
