Just one interruption costs you 23 minutes of focus. Blocking Reels and Shorts isn’t about missing out. It’s about getting your day back.

Who it is for
Three problems. One app.
Almost everyone installs Kahf Guard for one of three reasons. Whichever one brought you here, the other two come with it.
-
If you want a clean phone
Adult content and gambling, blocked.
Pornography, gambling and dating sites are stopped before they load, on every app and every browser on the device, not just the one you set it up in.
iOS & Android
-
If the feed is eating your day
Social media, on your terms
On Android, YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels and Facebook Reels stop loading while the rest of each app carries on working. On iOS, the screen holds for a breath before a distracting app opens, enough friction to break the reflex.
iOS & Android

If you are raising children with phones
Parental control from your own phone
Add your child’s device once, then manage it from your phone: adult content off, safe search enforced, distracting apps limited and screen time capped.
iOS & Android
Pricing
Try the whole thing free.
Keep it if it earns its place.
Both plans open with a 7-day free trial. The full app, no card asked for, cancel from inside the app.

You get the whole app for 7 days without handing over a card. If it has not changed anything by then, you walk away and nothing is charged.
Premium exists for people who want more: the app and website blockers, Reels and Shorts switched off, auto-silence at prayer times, and parental controls for the rest of the household.
You are not paying for something you could get elsewhere for free. You are paying for one dashboard, one login, and one less decision to make every time you pick up your phone.

Kahf Guard blocks haram & inappropriate websites so we can avoid sin and protect our children inshAllah.
Sheikh Ahmadullah Chairman, As-Sunnah Foundation -
Kahf Guard is a beneficial tool for parents protecting their children and Muslims seeking to avoid prohibited material. It helps close the doors leading to sin. This is commendable, and we encourage Muslims to support and benefit from this important digital safeguarding initiative.
Sheikh Haitham Al-Haddad Chair of the Fatwa Committee, Islamic Council of Europe
Isn’t it about time we took charge of what our kids are watching on their devices? Get Kahf Guard and take back control of your home.
Listen, I’m not going to lecture you. We all know what’s on these phones. I know what I saw when I was fourteen and it was nothing compared to what’s one tap away now. Look up Kahf Guard.

FAQ's
Does Kahf Guard block YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels and Facebook Reels?
Yes. Alongside adult content, gambling, scams and phishing, Kahf Guard switches off short-form video feeds on YouTube, Instagram and Facebook specifically, rather than filtering by a generic category. Reels and Shorts blocking is available on Android.
Is Kahf Guard only for parents?
No. Most Premium subscribers use it on their own phone to break a habit they chose to break. Parental controls are one feature, not the whole app.
What’s the difference between the Personal and Family plan?
Personal covers your own devices. Family covers every device in the household from a single dashboard, so you are not setting up filtering separately on each phone or tablet.
Do I need a credit card for the free trial?
No. The 7-day trial does not ask for card details. If you decide not to continue it simply ends. There is nothing to cancel and nothing is charged.
Can I gift a Kahf Guard subscription to someone else?
Yes. Use the gift a subscription section to send Premium to another person or family, with a personal message.
How does the person I am gifting to redeem it?
They receive an email with a redemption link. They follow it, sign in to their own Kahf Guard account, and their gifted plan activates immediately no payment details needed on their end.
Does Kahf Guard use a VPN?
No. Safe Internet points your device at Kahf Guard’s DNS servers, which filters domain lookups only. Your actual traffic still goes straight from your device to the site. No VPN to slow things down, and nothing routed through us.
Will it slow my phone down or drain the battery?
No. Each content check takes microseconds, with no heavy computation, network requests or disk writes during normal use. The service only wakes for apps on your monitored list, so when none is open it is essentially idle, comparable to any always-on notification listener.
Does it work on iPhone?
Yes. Safe internet filtering and parental controls run on both iOS and Android. Two features differ: switching off Reels and Shorts is Android only, because iOS does not let one app turn off a feed inside another, and the mindful pause before a distracting app opens is iOS only. Every feature on this page is labelled with the platforms it runs on.
What is free, and what needs a subscription?
Free: Safe Internet DNS filtering, prayer-time auto-silent, app usage statistics, and basic app and website blocking. Premium: parental control and remote management, unlimited app and website blocking, Reels and Shorts blocking, and unlimited devices.
Can a parent see what is on their child’s screen?
No, and this is deliberate. Parental control is configuration only: which apps and sites are blocked, screen time limits, schedules. There is no remote viewing, no screen access, no message reading and no browsing history. A parent changes settings; they do not watch.
How long does setup take?
About two minutes. Install the app, turn on Safe Internet, and the filter applies across every app and browser on the device, not just the one you set it up in. Adding a child’s device to Family takes another minute or two from your own phone.
