Six online safety tools that run in the page, with no signup
Everything here calculates in your browser. No account, no address, no PDF that dies in a downloads folder, and each one carries its full content as text if you turn scripting off.
The comparable tools in this subject tend to ask for an email address before they tell you anything, or arrive as a document you have to read before you can act. Both are the reason people give up. These do one thing each, immediately, in the page you are already on.
Start with the wizard
Which screen are we setting up?
Pick a device and an age bandAll six tools
Parental controls wizard
Pick the device and the age, get the current menu path in order. Nine platforms.
Internet safety quiz
Ten questions, instant marking, reasoning for every answer, printable certificate.
Scam identifier
Three questions about what arrived, and the script it matches gets a name.
Screen time calculator
An age-based shape, then a printable family media agreement.
Digital footprint quiz
Eight questions about your own settings, and which switches to change.
Password game
Watch a machine reach an obvious password, then build one it cannot.
Why they run in the page rather than on a server
Partly privacy: a scam identifier that reads your messages would need those messages, and a password checker that scores your password would need your password. Neither is necessary: the identifier asks about the shape of what arrived, and the password tool calculates from the characters without them leaving the field.
Partly reliability. A tool with no back end does not go down, and the reasoning behind that choice sits with the rest of the method on the about page. does not require an account to be maintained, and still works in five years. And partly honesty: there is nothing to collect, so there is no question about what happens to what you typed.
Which one to use, depending on why you are here
If a device needs configuring tonight, the wizard, then the platform guide it hands you. That is the shortest route from arriving to having done something, and it is the one most people need.
If something has just happened, the scam identifier: it names the pattern and gives the next step, which is what the moment actually requires. If you are preparing rather than reacting, the screen time builder produces a document a household can agree on, and the two quizzes work as conversations instead of tests.
If you are a teacher, the safety quiz and the printable rules are the two that earn their place in a lesson, and both carry answer keys with the reasoning, not just the correct option.
And if you are helping an older relative and not a child, the identifier is the one to open. Sitting down and answering three questions together is far easier than explaining a category of fraud in the abstract, and it produces a next step instead of a warning. The scripts it draws on are set out in full on the guidance for grandparents, with a one-pager to leave by the phone.
What prints, and what that is for
Three things are built to be printed, not read on screen: the quiz certificate, the family media agreement and the ten house rules. Each uses real print styles instead of a downloadable file, so there is nothing to gate behind an address and nothing that needs a reader.
The reason is practical. A rule on a fridge is observed and a rule in a browser tab is not, and a certificate in a school bag is the part of a lesson that reaches the parents. Those are the two places this subject actually changes behaviour.
What is deliberately not here
There is no monitoring app, no dashboard that reports on a child’s messages, and no checker that reads a suspicious text and pronounces on it. Each of those was considered and left out for the same reason: they need data this site has no business holding, and the useful part of each can be done without it.
There is also no scoring of your household. Tools that rate how safe a family is produce a number that flatters or alarms and changes nothing, and the honest version of that feedback is a list of settings to change, which is what the two quizzes end with instead.
Questions about the tools
Is anything sent to a server?
No. Every tool here calculates in your browser: the quizzes mark locally, the identifier is a fixed decision table, and the password field is never read by anything but the page you are looking at. Reloading clears everything.
Why no accounts?
Because an email gate in front of a safety tool is a marketing decision dressed as a feature, and it is the main reason the comparable tools elsewhere go unused. Nothing here asks who you are.
Do they work on a phone?
Yes, all six. The wizard and the identifier were designed for a phone first, since that is where most people are standing when they need them.
What if JavaScript is off?
Each tool page carries its full content as readable text: every menu path, every scam pattern, every age band and answer key. You lose the interaction, not the information.
Can teachers use these in class?
Yes, and the two quizzes were built with that in mind: answer keys with reasoning, no login, and a certificate that takes a pupil’s name. The classroom kit collects the printable material.
Which is the most used?
The controls wizard, by a wide margin, because it answers the question people actually arrive with: which menu, on this device, for this age.
