About

Layers Guard is a parental control extension built by a teacher and parent. It gives families simple, effective tools to manage what children can access online — without a subscription, without an account, and without complicated setup.

WHAT IT DOES
────────────────────────────

🚫 Block any website
Type a domain (e.g. youtube.com or tiktok.com) and it is blocked immediately — every page on that site, on every tab. No restart needed.

⏰ Schedule when sites are blocked
Set a time window for each blocked site. Block gaming sites only on school nights, or allow YouTube on weekends but not after dinner. Schedules run automatically every day.

🌐 Lockout mode
Cut all internet access between set hours. Every website is blocked during lockout time — perfect for bedtime, study sessions, or family meals.

🔑 PIN-protected settings
Your settings panel requires a 4-digit PIN every time it is opened. Children cannot view, change, or remove any blocks.

HOW IT WORKS
────────────────────────────

1. Download the extension — no account or sign-up needed
2. Set your parent PIN
3. Add the websites you want to block
4. Optionally set time schedules or a lockout window

That's it. Blocks are active immediately and survive browser restarts.

────────────────────────────
INCOGNITO MODE
────────────────────────────

To block sites in incognito windows, open chrome://extensions, find Layers Guard, and turn on "Allow in Incognito". This only needs to be done once.

────────────────────────────
PRIVACY
────────────────────────────

Layers Guard stores all settings locally on your device using Chrome's built-in storage. No data is sent to any server. No account is required. No personal information is collected.
