Windows beta — coming soon

A haven for
every screen.

Arkhaven is like Guided Access for your whole computer. You choose what's open and what's off-limits, and a guardian holds the key.

Features

Everything off-limits stays off.
Everything good stays open.

Simple controls a parent can set in a minute, with protection that holds up when a curious teenager goes looking for a way around it.

Category blocking

One switch each for adult content, gambling, social media, streaming, games and more. Changes wait in a draft until you press Apply.

Allow-only sites & games

Pick exactly what's allowed. Everything else stays closed.

Lock mode

Pin the computer to one app or a short list. Only the guardian's hotkey plus PIN unlocks it.

Activity & screen time

See which apps and sites were used and for how long, broken down by day, all stored on the computer itself.

Schedules & limits

Set bedtimes, school-night rules and daily limits. You can give bonus time when it's earned.

Guardian phone portal

Approve requests, lock a device, add time and get weekly reports from your phone, wherever you are.

VPN & bypass hardening

Arkhaven runs as a Windows service. It shuts the usual escape routes: VPNs, proxies, DNS-over-HTTPS, hosts-file edits, Task Manager and other system tools.

Lock mode

Just homework. Nothing else.

Turn on lock mode and the computer stays on the apps you've chosen. To unlock it, press Ctrl Alt Shift A and enter the guardian PIN. Without the PIN, it stays locked.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

What is Arkhaven?

Arkhaven is a Windows app that decides what's open on a computer and what's off-limits: sites, apps, games and times of day. Only a guardian, using a PIN or the phone portal, can change the rules.

Is my child's activity uploaded to the cloud?

No, not by default. Activity stays on the computer. If you pair it with the guardian portal, only summaries (such as total minutes and top apps) and your settings sync, so you can manage it from your phone. We never read messages, take screenshots or record keystrokes.

Can a tech-savvy kid get around it?

Arkhaven runs as a protected Windows service and blocks the common workarounds: VPNs, proxies, DNS-over-HTTPS, editing the hosts file, Task Manager and other system tools. No software is perfect, but this is built to hold.

Can I allow one game but block another?

Yes. Allow-only mode lets you approve exactly the games and sites you want. Fortnite can be allowed while Call of Duty stays blocked.

What's the browser extension for?

The optional Arkhaven Activity extension tells the Arkhaven app on the same computer which website is active, so screen-time reports can show sites as well as apps. It only reads the domain, never page content.

When can I get it? Is there a Mac version?

The Windows beta is coming soon, and people on the waitlist get it first. A Mac version is planned.

How much does it cost?

There's a free plan. Guardian is $4.99/mo or $39/yr, and Family is $6.99/mo or $49/yr for up to 10 PCs. The first 100 founding members pay $29/yr. Paid plans are coming soon.
