If you are raising children today, you know they are on screens ALL the time–at school, with friends, in the car, socializing, playing games, doing homework. And if you’re like most parents you’re unwilling to accept this reality. We don’t know what they are doing and we don’t know how to manage it. Torch aims to fix that.

Torch’s easy to use interface allows you to see what sites every device on the network is visiting, how much data every device is using and how much time they spend online.

You can pause any device’s ability to connect the internet without affecting the other devices on the network, bock specific sites on a per-device basis or set limits on each device’s usage.
