Activity insights

Where the hours went, by category. We never look at content, just the type of app. Helpful for noticing patterns, not for catching anyone out.

Conversation tools

A short framework Belleville school counsellor Linda Voss helped us write. The point is to talk with your kid, not at them. Use the data as a starting line, not a verdict.

01

Notice, don't accuse

"I saw you spent a fair bit of time on social this week" lands differently than "You're on your phone too much." The first invites a reply."I noticed games went up this week. Anything fun happening?"

02

Ask what they think

Kids usually have a sense of when it's a lot. Asking gives them ownership. They might surprise you with a sharper read than yours."Does that feel like the right amount to you?"

03

Decide together

If the answer is "yeah it was a lot," let them pick the adjustment. They're more likely to keep a rule they helped write."What's a fair limit you'd be willing to keep next week?"

What we don't track

This dashboard is built around what time was spent, never what was watched, said, or written. The cameras, microphones and chat threads in your home are yours. We help you parent the clock; we don't snoop on the conversation.

  • We count time online by category
  • We do not record what shows you watch
  • We log when devices join the network
  • We do not read messages, emails or chats
  • We aggregate usage for the weekly digest
  • We do not track location off-network
  • You can switch insights off any time
  • We do not share family data with anyone, ever
