The Free plan lets you evaluate Kidsplorer on one Windows computer with one profile, 10 age-range starter sites, and up to 10 custom sites.
Kidsplorer’s Windows app is completing Microsoft Store review. Join the waitlist to be notified the moment it’s available — the steps below describe how setup will work at launch.
1. Create a guardian account
Once Kidsplorer is available, go to app.kidsplorer.com/register and create the adult account that will manage profiles and devices. A credit card is not required for Free.
Keep the account password private. This dashboard controls which sites and settings are delivered to connected computers.
2. Install the Windows app
Install Kidsplorer from Microsoft Store once it’s live. Free, Family, and Labs use the same application; the connected organization’s plan determines the available features.
Use a standard, non-administrator Windows account for the child. Kidsplorer does not remove or filter other browsers, so use Windows or device-management policy if those applications must be restricted.
3. Create or choose a profile
During setup, connect the computer to the adult-managed organization and choose a profile. A profile contains:
- a display label and age group;
- a PIN used for protected actions;
- approved-site rules;
- a schedule on Family or Labs; and
- device-control settings available to the plan.
Use a nickname or non-legal label rather than a child’s full name. A child email address is not required.
4. Review the starter sites
A new profile receives 10 sites selected for its age range. Treat them as a starting point: open each site yourself, remove anything that does not fit, and add the domains your child needs.
The standard dashboard action adds domain rules, not a single path within a site. See Adding Approved Sites before approving a domain with mixed content.
5. Test allowed and blocked navigation
Open an approved domain in Kidsplorer, then try an unapproved one. The second request should show the block page. Paid plans can send a site request for adult review.
Saved changes reach an online device on its next configuration sync, normally within about a minute.
Optional paid-plan setup
Family and Labs can add a weekly schedule, email site and time-extension requests, activity history, browser-lock controls, and profile template codes. Labs also adds enrollment codes, rosters, device administration, staff access, and CSV rule tools.
