TrueNotification is a free parental control app for Android that helps parents understand how their child uses a smartphone, openly and without hidden spyware.

After you install TrueNotification on your child's phone and link it to your own device, the app sends you real-time alerts for incoming calls, SMS messages and notifications from any app. That makes it easier to notice scam messages, unknown contacts or signs of online bullying early, while there is still time to talk about it.

A daily screen time dashboard shows how many hours the phone is in use, and detailed app usage reports reveal which apps take up that time, whether it is games, video or social media. Parents can also check the child phone's battery level and online status, so they know whether the device is switched off, out of charge or simply offline.

Monitoring is always visible on the child's device. TrueNotification is built for transparent, ethical supervision that encourages honest conversations between parents and kids instead of secret tracking. All data is stored on TrueNotification's own servers and is not sold to advertisers.

Main features: call, SMS and all-app notification alerts in real time; daily screen time tracking; app usage reports per app; battery level and online status of the child's phone; visible monitoring notice on the child's device; quick setup: install on both phones, link them, and start receiving updates.

TrueNotification suits parents of younger children getting their first phone as well as teenagers who need gentle guidance. It is made by an independent developer in India.
