Does anyone know of a good privacy respecting (preferably FOSS) parental control app for Android? I'm trying to convince a friend to get a Pixel with GrapheneOS as their kids next phone but they won't do it unless it let's them control certain things.

They're used to iOS where apparently their kid can request to download an app and they can remotely allow the installation. They can also add screen time beyond the original set limit if the kids requests it.

Unfortunately, I don't think they'd be open to switching if it means losing their parental controls.

The thing is, the kid has started realizing the data collection that's going on and it's interested in switching. That's the only reason I'm genuinely pursuing this.

Okay, that makes much more sense if it's the kid's initiative.
