They learn,
watch and play.
You protect the rest
with a PIN.

After you accept the dedicated notice, newly installed apps that can be launched and are not system apps are added to the Space that is active at installation. You can review and change the selection from the parent area. Apps already installed are not added retroactively.

Version 1.4.17, being prepared, adds Arabic alongside Italian and English for the interface and privacy notice. In that version, open Settings → Language and choose Automatic, Italiano, English or العربية. Translations work offline and the manual choice is saved. Check Google Play for update availability: this page does not announce its release.

App Protection asks for the PIN when someone opens an app you have locked. In Children’s Area, you create a personal Space with the apps you choose for that child. While a Space is active, its allowed apps take priority over ordinary locks. Recognised browsers and Google Play can also open without a PIN, even if they are not selected or are locked under ordinary protection. The parent’s PIN is required to leave the Space.

BimbiLock is free, with no account or subscription. Supported versions may display advertisements with limited frequency, depending on availability and privacy choices. Spaces do not show BimbiLock advertisements. Protection also works without a connection or advertisements. External apps and websites may have their own advertisements.

BimbiLock requires Android 7.0 or later. No brands are excluded, but permissions, battery saving and Android customisations can affect how it works. The app’s guide includes instructions for several manufacturers. Declared compatibility does not mean every model has been tested. This version is not an iPhone app.

Yes. Each Space has a name and a selection of allowed apps. From Children’s Area, choose who is using the phone, change the apps and review the current selection. Names and preferences stay on the device. Children do not need accounts.

Yes. From the parent area, edit a Space, open app selection and tap “＋ Web”. Enter a name and an HTTPS address, add the game and save. The game opens in the internal web view. Some sites that use external sign-ins, the camera, microphone or links to other domains may not work. Browser saves are not imported, and sites on the same domain share the app’s web storage.

It identifies the foreground app so BimbiLock can apply a lock or the Space’s rules. BimbiLock does not read messages or record the screen. The parent must grant permission in Android settings. Usage access is optional and is used only to sort “Most used apps”.

After five consecutive failed attempts, “Forgot PIN?” appears. When available, recovery uses Android’s biometric verification. Otherwise, you can start a reset with a five-minute wait and final confirmation: the PIN, selections and Spaces are deleted and must be set up again. Support does not know and cannot retrieve your PIN.

Uninstall protection is optional and must be enabled by the parent. It adds device administrator access and uses the PIN to protect recognised settings routes. It is not an absolute lock: safe mode, revoked permissions, a stopped service and differences between phones may bypass some protections. Always test the behaviour on your own device.

It limits app opening and access to the Space, but does not automatically filter in-app content, external ads or Android notifications. Choose age-appropriate apps, configure them first and check your phone’s notification settings.

The PIN and local app protection do not depend on a connection. Online games and services need Internet according to how they work. In the parent area, Firebase may retrieve ad configuration even when ads are disabled. See the privacy notice for details.
