Early Access Tether KidShield Test Recruitment - Safeguarding Children's Online Experience
KidShield is a fantastic tool for parents who want to ensure their child's online safety. Unlike the regular HomeShield Parental Control, which only functions when clients are connected to home Wi-Fi, KidShield Parental Control surpasses this limitation. Additionally, even if clients enable Randomize MAC address, KidShield's safeguards remain effective. By using KidShield, you can foster a safe and secure digital environment, allowing your child to explore the internet while you maintain control and supervision.
Is KidShield free for users?
Currently, KidShield is in the beta test phase which is free.
However, after KidShield is launched officially, you need to subscribe to the Total Parental Controls Package to use it.
***At the moment, the option "KidShield Profile" is available exclusively to a selected group of users. However, if you're interested in this feature, remember to first comment below then message me your TP-Link ID and Homeshield Archer Router model in use.

Hello Martin.
I have purchased a yearly subscription to full parental control. I received a message from technical support that you can add me to the group of people who are testing KidShield.
I have two children
I would be very grateful if you could add me to this group.
I am waiting for feedback from you.
Best regards
Daniel

There is a mac version, and it looks like there has been for nearly a year from the date in the download URL at the link you gave:
https://static.tp-link.com/upload/software/2024/202401/20240123/KidShield-Desktop-arm64.zip
But it is still broken as @Peppermintloft mentions.
In fact, the versions linked are 1.0, whereas the page says the latest version is v1.1.7
