Request for apps

I would like to request an android based and/or an iOS based app for the admin, I am sure that this is one priority for most users. I also would like to request that, if possible, the analysis in real time and the total analysis could have more details, showing from which profile / device that website was blocked.. The last request, is for you to fix the error of the services used in the analysis. In my case, it's stuck 80% in linked in and 20% in Apple, for several days. I would like to see that more updated, and better divided to know how much and which service are being used. Thank you!

Custom Rules problem

A few problems I'm see'ing with custom rules in filter When I do a search for parts of a rule, rules which start with \*. are not searchable. Also, current I have a \*. rule which I added a few days ago which I'm now unable to find completely. Yetwhen I try to add the same rule, I get a message that it already exists. I also seem to be getting rules which I applied in different profiles, bleeding into new profiles. <br>

Add more options to disable profile timing

I am wondering if we could have more options under the profile disablement timing rather than only 5 minutes, 1 hour, 1 day.

Profile lock does not affect secondary profile in multi-profile setup

Normally, a device cannot be switched away from a locked profile, but if the locked profile is added as a secondary profile (for instance, productivity profile on top of privacy profile), it can simply be removed without the expected restrictions.

Domain check function within dashboard?

Hi, new user here. Thanks for your service. ControlD really is great. After some search I found out, that a domain check search function is missing within ControlD (or I'm too stupid to find it). I mean a function which checks if a domain is blocked by any of my active blocklists or custom user rules. This would be nice to have within the dashboard.

Feature request: petition to add 2 categories in "Services" that can be blocked

_Stock image/video sites_: All those sites where hundreds and hundreds of videos and images are published, such as: pixabay, iStock, unsplash, Shutterstock... Now with the advent of AI, there are too many sites that offer no added value. If you work in this field, you will appreciate my request. When you integrate the "service classifications" with AI, this category will become tremendously useful since every day there are more and more sites created specifically to upload images created with Stable Diffusion, etc. _Online streaming services of dubious reputation_: I'm talking about sites like "cb01.something", sites that allow the viewing of movies and copyrighted material for free. They are not covered by "Torrent and Privacy" from what I can test. By their nature, they are sites that are constantly changing, as they have to "escape" the blocks imposed by various governments. Again, this Service will only really block things when you implement AI-based blocks, since they change very frequently.

Feature Request: Multi-user option for personal plan

As you may already know, there's this feature (beta) called "Access" on Nextdns which is similar to what you have on your business plan as a multi-user feature. \-AFAIK, there isn't a user count limitation on Control D as well when it comes to family usage. So, under one account, the whole family member devices can be configured.- I think this feature would address two issues at the same time; One -- if there are only the parents and children in a family there isn't a big deal, but adults should have some privacy so it'd be great for family members to have separate accounts for them to be able to log-in and see only their own analytics data and logs. To summarise, apart from the owner/admin/main account user, the rest of the family members should respect and not see each other's data in my opinion. Two -- there is this ease of use and accessibility issue; more 'power-user' family members should not have to rely on the main account owner to log in, especially if the main account has a 2fa enabled - every time someone needs to login, they ask admin for 2fa confirmation which is a hassle.

Implementing Time Delay instead of Password for Profile Lock

It possible to change the functionality of "Lock Profile" by adding a Time Delay instead of a password? Essentially, if I activate "Lock Profile," it would prompt me to enter a time XX:XX. When I decide to deactivate "Lock Profile," a timer starts with a set time XX:XX that I choose, and until this timer reaches 0s, I won't be able to modify ControlD settings. Is this feasible? Otherwise, it becomes too easy to bypass the settings; one could simply copy the ControlD password from their preferred password manager. I want this option to prevent myself from changing ControlD settings instantaneously.
