Questions
Does Mamori work in every browser and app?
Yes. Mamori filters at the DNS level, so blocked sites do not load in any browser or app.
Can I use Mamori with a VPN?
On Android, only one VPN runs at a time and Mamori uses that slot, so another VPN or blocker switches its filter off. On any phone, a VPN with its own DNS can get around a DNS filter.
Can I still turn Mamori off?
Yes, it is your phone. Finish any lock first: wait it out, type the random phrase, or get the Partner PIN from whoever holds it. When protection is off, nothing is blocked and Mamori uninstalls normally. Your charm picks up where it left off when you turn it back on.
Does Mamori see what I browse?
Mamori has no account and builds no profile. On Android, lookups are checked on your phone and not sent to us. On iPhone and iPad, lookups go over encrypted DNS to Mamori’s filtering server so adult sites can be blocked; that server keeps no log of the sites you visit. On our server there is only a random install ID, your block and allow lists and your lock state. No ads, no third-party analytics, no data sold.
How much does Mamori cost?
Mamori is free and blocks everything you pick. Premium adds longer locks, Prevent uninstall, longer phrases and exclusive animated charms: $7.99 a month, $49.99 a year, or $99.99 once on the US App Store.
Can I use Mamori on my child’s phone?
Mamori is for adults on their own phone, is rated 18+ on the App Store and does not monitor anyone. For a child’s phone, use Screen Time on iPhone or Google Family Link on Android.
Which phones does Mamori work on?
iPhone and iPad on iOS 16 or later (App Store), and Android phones (Google Play).
Does Mamori work the same on iPhone and Android?
Not exactly. On Android, Mamori uses Android’s VPN service and checks every lookup on your phone, with no remote VPN server, and only one VPN can run at a time. On iPhone and iPad, it uses Apple’s encrypted DNS setting, switched on once in Settings > General > VPN, DNS & Device Management > DNS, and lookups go to Mamori’s filtering server. Prevent uninstall makes Mamori hard to remove on Android while protection is on; on iPhone, Mamori uses Screen Time to block deleting apps. Searches inside apps are checked on Android only.
Can I block just Instagram?
Yes, and it is free. In Block distractions, tick Social media and leave only Instagram ticked. To block only the apps you pick, switch off Block adult sites.
