Mobicip parental controls setup - Mac

This article describes how to set up Mobicip's parental controls on your Mac computers.

Before you begin, please ensure

• You are logged into the Mac computer as an administrator. We recommend you create separate standard Mac user accounts for each of your children. 
• Your Mac computer has macOS 10.15 and above. Mobicip does not support older versions.
• You sign up for a Mobicip account from the parent app on your device or the Mobicip website
• You disable Mac parental control / Mac Screen time or any anti-virus software as this may disable Mobicip.

Begin Setup - Login as administrator on the Mac. 

Download Mobicip for Mac using the link below. Mobicip for Mac is not available on the app store and you need to install it from here.

Once the installation is successful, close the installer, click on the Mobicip icon on the menu bar, and log in to your Mobicip account.

Please make sure that macOS parental control is not enabled on any of your Mac user accounts.
