Step-by-Step Setup Guide

Step 1: Download Peace of Mind from the Google Play Store

Open the Google Play Store on your Android device and search for "Peace of Mind Filter." Download and install the app. The download is free and includes a 7-day free trial with full access to all 14 protection layers.

Step 2: Create Your Account and Complete Onboarding

Open Peace of Mind and create an account with your email address or sign in with Google. Complete the onboarding quiz — this takes about 2 minutes and helps you connect with your motivation for setting up protection.

Step 3: Start Your Free Trial

Activate your 7-day free trial. No charge until the trial ends. Cancel anytime. All 14 protection layers activate immediately: on-device AI image scanning, 13M domain bloom filter, real-time text scanning with 200,000+ word variants, outgoing message blocking, and all platform-specific controls.

Step 4: Set Up Family Link Supervision

This is the critical lockdown step. Follow the in-app guide to set up Google Family Link supervision on the device:

  • Require parent approval for all app installs — No new apps (browsers, VPNs, or anything else) can be installed without the supervisor's approval.
  • Enable factory reset protection — The device cannot be wiped to remove restrictions.
  • Disable developer options — Prevents sideloading apps or using ADB to modify the system.
  • Account-level supervision — Restoring the device or signing into a new device with the same account re-applies all restrictions automatically. The supervision follows the account, not just the device.

Step 5: Secure the Supervisor Account

The Family Link supervisor account should be controlled by a trusted person — a spouse, parent, friend, or accountability partner. This account controls all device restrictions and app install approvals. The supervised user cannot remove Family Link supervision without the supervisor's approval.

Why Peace of Mind + Family Link Is the Best Android Protection

Family Link alone controls app installs and enforces basic SafeSearch, but it cannot scan images, detect creative spelling, or block outgoing messages. Explicit content on Instagram, Reddit, Twitter, Discord, and other social platforms bypasses Family Link entirely.

Peace of Mind alone provides 14 layers of content filtering inside its browser, but without Family Link, a user could install Chrome or any other browser and browse without the filter.

Together, they close every gap. Family Link ensures Peace of Mind is the only browser available and that no new apps can be installed without approval. Peace of Mind ensures that every page opened in that browser is filtered through AI image scanning, a 13M domain blocklist, text scanning, outgoing message blocking, and every other protection layer. The combination is stronger than either tool alone.
