Parental Control Software
for Windows and Mac Computers

TheOneSpy is parental control software for the computers your children use. See browsing history, app usage, and screen captures from one secure dashboard. You set up the Windows PC or Mac once — it takes under 10 minutes. After that, you review activity from your own browser. And your child should know the software is there: it works best as open family oversight, not a secret.

What You Can See

What Parental Control Software Shows You

Set up the computer you manage once. After that, records appear in your dashboard — no repeated physical access needed.

Browsing History

See which websites were visited on the managed computer, with timestamps. Works with common browsers on both Windows and Mac.

App Usage

See which programs your child opens and how long each one runs. Usage is grouped by app and by day, so patterns are easy to spot.

Activity Logs (Windows)

Get a timeline of activity on a managed Windows PC. It shows when the computer was used and what happened, in order. Windows only.

Screen Capture

Review screenshots taken from the managed computer. Each capture is timestamped and stored in your dashboard. Available on Windows 7+ and Mac.

Two Platforms, One Dashboard

Choose Your Platform: Windows or Mac

Searching for parental control software for PC? The Windows app installs on Windows 7 and later. On Mac, TheOneSpy covers browsing activity, app usage, and screen capture. Both report to the same dashboard — and each platform has its own detailed page.

How It Works

Set Up Once. Review from Your Dashboard.

You need the computer in front of you one time, for setup. From then on, records sync to your TheOneSpy dashboard and you review them from any browser.

1
Pick a plan

Plans start at $18/mo. Check the pricing page to confirm which tier covers Windows, Mac, or both — and remember the 14-day money-back guarantee.

2
Install on the computer you manage

Sit down at the Windows PC or Mac and install the app. Setup takes under 10 minutes. Tell your child what it does and why — oversight works best in the open.

3
Review activity from anywhere

Log in to your dashboard from your own laptop, phone, or tablet. Browsing history, app usage, and screen captures appear as the computer syncs.

Who Uses This

Built for Families. Ready for Work.

Parental Control for Computer Time at Home

Family Safety Windows & Mac

A family computer or a child's laptop is where homework, games, and social media all meet. Which sites does your child visit? Which apps take up the afternoon? TheOneSpy shows you — browsing history, app usage, and screen captures, all in your dashboard. Parents in 190+ countries use it to stay informed without hovering.

Review the records, then talk with your child about what you found. Think of it as scaffolding, not a cage: the goal is guidance and safer habits, with your child aware the software is there.

Consent-Based Management of Company Computers

Workplace Company-Owned Devices

Company-issued computers carry business data and client information. Computer monitoring software helps employers understand how those machines are used — browsing history and app usage, reviewed from the dashboard. That matters most for remote teams, where direct supervision is not practical.

Use it with clear notice to staff, a written workplace policy, and local employment law checked first. Contact support for guidance on compliant deployment.

FAQ

Questions Parents Ask

Straight answers before you get started.

What can I see on my child's computer with TheOneSpy?

You can see browsing history, app usage, and screen captures in your dashboard. On Windows PCs you also get activity logs — a timeline of how the computer was used. Records sync after a one-time setup on the managed computer, so you do not need repeated physical access.

Does parental control software work on both Windows and Mac?

Yes. TheOneSpy runs on Windows 7 and later, and on supported macOS versions. Windows covers browsing history, app usage, activity logs, and screen capture. Mac covers browsing activity, app usage, and screen capture. The Windows Monitoring and Mac Monitoring pages list current compatibility details.

Should I tell my child the software is on their computer?

Yes, we recommend it. Tell your child what the software does and why you use it. Open oversight builds trust, keeps you within the law in most places, and turns monitoring into a family conversation. Many parents review the dashboard together with older children.

Do I need to be at the computer after setup?

No. You need the computer in front of you once, and setup takes under 10 minutes. After that, records sync to your dashboard and you review them from any browser — on your own laptop, phone, or tablet.

Can I move my license to a different computer?

Yes. Deactivate the software on the old computer from your dashboard, then install it on the replacement. This helps when a family computer is upgraded or your child gets a new laptop.

Can employers use TheOneSpy to manage company computers?

Yes, on company-owned computers and always with clear notice to employees. Laws differ by country and state, so put monitoring in a written workplace policy and check local rules first. TheOneSpy is built for lawful, transparent use only.

How much does it cost?

Plans start at $18 per month. Windows and Mac coverage can sit on different tiers, so check the pricing page for your platform. Every plan is backed by a 14-day money-back guarantee.
