Step-by-Step Guide

How to Block All Social Media with Kaizen Focus

Follow these steps to block every social media platform on your child's Windows PC.

Step 1: Install Kaizen Focus

Download and install Kaizen Focus on your child's Windows PC. Create a strong admin password during setup. This password protects all settings from being modified by your child. The installation takes less than 2 minutes.

Step 2: Enable the Social Media Category Filter

Navigate to My Rules > Category Filtering. Find the "Social Media" category in the list of 47 website categories and toggle it on. This single setting instantly blocks thousands of social media websites including Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Snapchat, Twitter/X, Reddit, Pinterest, Tumblr, LinkedIn, and more. The category database is regularly updated to include new platforms.

Step 3: Block Social Media Apps

The category filter blocks websites, but your child might also have social media desktop apps installed. Go to My Rules > App Limits and block each social media app individually: Facebook, Messenger, Instagram, TikTok, Snapchat, and any others. Set each to "Blocked" for every day of the week.

Step 4: Verify and Monitor

Test the blocks by trying to visit a social media site in the browser -- you should see the block page. Enable email reports to receive daily notifications of blocked attempts and usage activity. This helps you confirm the blocks are working and see if your child is trying to access social media through alternative methods.
