Askan is a content-filtering app for smartphones and tablets that blocks inappropriate video, image and text while preserving access to sites and files needed by device users. It works offline and can filter material stored locally or on external drives, giving device owners control even when there is no internet connection. Askan combines real-time detection, category filters, screen-time controls and uninstall protection so account administrators can tailor rules for each user and device. Users may use Askan to reduce exposure to explicit material, manage daily device use, and receive alerts about attempts to access or install unapproved apps.
Askan's real-time detection analyzes images, video and text to identify sensitive or explicit content and flag potentially risky media.
Partial clothing and image filtering reduces exposure to inappropriate visual elements while preserving benign images.
Automatic blocking of explicit videos, images and text across local files, external drives and online sources helps maintain safer device environments.
Uninstall protection option that requires administrator approval before the app can be removed from a device.
Administrator alerts and notifications for new installations, blocked content and attempted changes to settings provide timely oversight.
Screen time limits, custom exceptions and multi-account management allow device owners to adjust access per account or device.
Askan works offline and filters content on-device or from external storage, so protection continues without internet access.
Robust administrative controls with remote and local management make it simple to adjust rules and monitor multiple devices.
Private monitoring design restricts visibility to authorized accounts only and avoids exposing monitored data to third parties.
The interface and controls are available in multiple languages and designed for straightforward setup and daily use.
Requires several device permissions (Accessibility, Draw Over Other Apps, Usage Access) to enforce filters and controls.
Uses an optional VPN-style filtering route for remote content inspection, which may concern users who prefer local-only processing.
Each managed device requires its own license and some protection features must be explicitly enabled by an account administrator.
