iKeyMonitor — mobile monitoring app for parental control and employee activity tracking.
iKeyMonitor covers a wide monitoring surface — keystrokes, GPS, calls, chat apps, screenshots — across Android, Windows, and macOS. The DB lists this as a $9/mo paid-only tool with a free trial, but the product actually offers a permanent free plan (basic SMS, call logs, GPS, capped at 20 entries) and full plans starting around $9.99/mo; price_tier should be freemium. One critical caveat: the no-jailbreak iOS edition has been discontinued, so iPhone monitoring now requires a jailbroken device running iOS 15 or below — a significant real-world limitation the DB description omits.
The permanent free tier lets parents test core tracking before committing, and the keylogger-across-all-apps capability is genuinely rare at this price point. Android support is robust and actively maintained.
iOS no-jailbreak monitoring has been discontinued; iOS support now requires a jailbroken device on iOS 15 or below, making it effectively Android-only for most modern households.
