You need a Windows 10 (version 1809 or later) or Windows 11 computer and an internet connection for setup.

After installation

  1. Open Kidsplorer on the Windows computer your child will use.
  2. Choose Get started — free.
  3. Create your account. Enter your name, email and password, right in the app.
  4. Verify your email with the 6-digit code Kidsplorer sends you.
  5. Create your child’s profile: a display label, an age group and a PIN. A child email address is not needed.
  6. Review the starter sites. Free starts you off with 10 curated, age-appropriate sites. Remove any you do not want.
  7. Done. Your child can open the approved sites inside Kidsplorer. Manage the list later from the app or the guardian dashboard.

Already have an account or a pairing code from your dashboard? Choose I already have an account or Use a pairing code in the wizard instead. See the getting started guide for what to do next.

What Kidsplorer does and does not control

Kidsplorer controls browsing inside Kidsplorer. Other browsers and apps on the computer need separate controls, so use a standard, non-administrator Windows account for your child. Visited-page addresses are recorded for the parent for up to 30 days. Kidsplorer does not capture screenshots, keystrokes, messages or location.

Questions about downloading and setting up Kidsplorer

What to expect before and after you install the Windows app.

Do I need an account to download Kidsplorer?
No. Downloading and installing the Windows app from the Microsoft Store does not require an account. You create your account inside the app, after installation.
What happens the first time I open Kidsplorer?
A setup wizard opens. Choose “Get started — free”, enter your name, email and password, verify your email with a 6-digit code, and create your child’s profile with a display label, age group and PIN. Everything happens inside the app; you do not need to visit the website.
I already have a Kidsplorer account. How do I set up another computer?
In the first-run wizard, choose “I already have an account” to sign in through your browser, or “Use a pairing code” to enter a pairing code from your guardian dashboard.
Is Kidsplorer free?
Yes. Free covers one Windows computer and one profile, with 10 curated starter sites ready to use. Family is $49.99 a year and adds unlimited sites, up to five profiles and devices, schedules, and site and time requests. See pricing .
Does my child need their own Windows account or email address?
No. A child email address is not required. You create each child’s profile, with a display label, age group and PIN, from inside the app or your guardian dashboard. A separate standard (non-administrator) Windows account for your child is still a good idea.
Which Windows computers does Kidsplorer support?
Windows 10 version 1809 or later, and Windows 11. Kidsplorer installs from the Microsoft Store like any other Windows app. Check the Store listing for current system requirements before installing.
Does Kidsplorer control other browsers and apps?
No. Kidsplorer controls browsing inside Kidsplorer. Other browsers and apps on the computer need separate controls, such as a standard Windows account for your child.
