Norton Family focuses on visibility. Parents set web browsing rules, see the terms their child searches for, review the YouTube videos watched on PCs and iOS devices, and view a 30-day map of an Android or iOS device's location history. School Time limits what a child can open during remote learning, and Access Request lets a child send a note when they disagree with a blocked site. On its own it costs $49.99 for the first year, and Norton includes it in Norton 360 Deluxe and Premium, so families already paying for Norton antivirus may have it already. Platform support is uneven: Norton says Mac and Windows 10 in S mode are not supported, and App Supervision works on Android and Windows. It is a good match for a Windows and Android home, less so for Mac users.
