MB Smart is our filter for Apple devices (iPhone, iPad, Mac), Android, and Chromebooks. It comes in two levels: Basic and Pro. Here's the full breakdown of what each can do.
Used on: iPhone / iPad / Mac, Android, Chromebook.
Both Basic and Pro let you allow or block any of these categories:
| Category | Example apps and sites |
|---|---|
| General Internet | Email, Messaging, Banking, Productivity Tools (like Docs, Sheets) |
| Shopping | Amazon, eBay, Target, Walmart, Temu, Costco |
| Sports | ESPN, MLB, NFL, NBA |
| Games | Subway Surfers, Crossy Road, Roblox, Minecraft, Fruit Ninja |
| News | CNN, MSN, Fox News, WSJ |
| Media / Entertainment | Apple Music, Spotify, Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, Paramount |
| Social Media | Instagram, Snapchat, TikTok, Facebook, X |
| Mature Content | Adult, Drugs, Violence, Gambling |
Forces Safe Search on Google (which blocks explicit images) and blocks explicit websites. It does not block images found elsewhere on the internet. For full image control, choose Pro.
Full image filtering, with the two modes below.
This filter offers two different ways to handle images. You choose which one fits your home, and it can be set differently for each website category. It applies to images only, not videos.
When an image falls into a level you've chosen, the entire image is fully covered. Other images on the page still show normally. You pick one of four levels, from the most limited to the most protective:
Instead of hiding the whole image, this mode covers just the skin areas and leaves the rest of the picture, like clothing and background, visible. This keeps more of the page usable while still providing protection.
Beyond images, this filter also watches text. It uses a built-in list of trigger words, such as foul language and other inappropriate terms, and blocks the content when one of those words is used. The list is maintained by the filter and is not something you set up or add to yourself.
Block mature content (romantic themes, extreme violence, swearing), or block all of YouTube.
Set an overall approach, then layer on any additional protections you want.
Choose one: filter YouTube by category (Education, How To, Sports, Gaming, News and Politics, People and Blogs, Music, Entertainment), block YouTube but allow single videos on request, or block all of YouTube.
Block mature content (romantic themes, extreme violence, swearing), and block questionable keywords (celebrities, swimwear, intimate apparel).
Block Shorts, block or allow specific channels, use a clean homepage, and block ads.
MB Smart Pro adds extra controls inside WhatsApp and a few other apps. The options differ a little by platform.
