Umka Parental Control is a free, open-source parental control and screen time management tool for Windows. It provides parents with an accessible way to help children maintain a healthy digital balance between studying, rest, and entertainment.
The application operates quietly in the background without requiring complex network configurations. It features flexible schedule-based web filtering, daily activity tracking with rest break enforcement, and automatic night-time internet blocking to ensure proper sleep routines.
Key highlights include automated Windows Firewall rule registration on first launch, stealth background operation, and protection against unauthorized process termination or system time tampering by standard user accounts.
Features
- Schedule-Based Filtering: Blocks distracting and adult websites during designated learning hours using local hosts management and DoH (DNS-over-HTTPS) blocking.
- Rest Timer (RestTimer): Tracks active screen time, sends soft break reminders, and displays full-screen blocking windows to encourage eye rest.
- Night Lock: Automatically restricts internet access and displays a lock screen during evening hours to enforce healthy sleep habits.
- Anti-Tamper Safeguards: Monitors system time and timezone changes to prevent bypassing schedule restrictions offline.

- Clean Firewall Integration: Automatically registers required application rules on first launch, preventing disruptive UAC or Windows Defender prompts.
