Net Nanny Alternative for Muslim Families
Net Nanny is built for parental controls and online safety. Nafs is for Muslim families who want screen time rules to lead into ibadah before entertainment apps open.
With Nafs, 1 minute of ibadah = 1 minute of screen time.
Net Nanny-style tools help families with parental controls, content filtering, screen time limits, app blocking, alerts, and online safety. Nafs helps Muslim families turn screen time into a worship-first routine.
Nafs connects phone access to Quran, dhikr, adhkar, salah, dua, salawat, and earned screen time.
Nafs is useful when the family goal is not only to restrict screens, but to build a shared habit of worship before entertainment.
The Nafs loop is simple enough for family routines: 1 minute of ibadah = 1 minute of screen time.
