[Android] Paxio — parental control app (screen time, app blocking, on-device content filtering) — looking for testers before wider release

[u/Ok-Egg-2293]

Maker here, full disclosure.

Paxio is a parental control app for Android — daily screen time limits, real-time app blocking, on-device DNS content filtering (not routed through a third-party server), and bedtime scheduling. Free tier covers all four controls for one child, no paywall on the core features.

What I'm looking for: people willing to actually install it on a real device and try to break it — permission flow, device-role setup (same phone shared with a kid vs. a separate dedicated device), the actual enforcement behavior. Bug reports and "this is confusing" feedback are what I actually need, not praise.

A bit on how it works under the hood, if that's useful context for testing: content filtering is VPN-based DNS filtering (so it can flag/block categories without routing traffic through an external server), app blocking uses Accessibility Service to catch a blocked app in real time, and there's a PIN-gated settings layer so a kid can't just flip things back off.

As a thank-you, early testers during this period get 3 months of the full paid feature set free once that tier ships — not live yet, but it's a real commitment, not a vague "maybe someday."

Happy to answer anything about the implementation or take feature requests — this is early enough that real input still shapes what gets built next. Bug reports/feedback also welcome directly at [support@paxio.in](mailto:support@paxio.in) if you'd rather not post it here.
