Aunty Bea: Family Safety App

Made by parents, for parents — block the apps that worry you, keep an eye on screen time, and help your kids stay safer online, all from one simple dashboard.

Your child is online. You can't be there for every conversation — but Aunty Bea can.

Aunty Bea monitors your children's devices and alerts you when something needs your attention. Not every message. Not every search. Just the things that matter — delivered as a plain-English summary so you can have the right conversation at the right time, without invading your child's privacy.

The internet has real risks for kids: grooming, age-inappropriate content, cyberbullying, radicalising communities. Most parents only find out something went wrong after the fact. Aunty Bea changes that.

What Aunty Bea looks for:

• Grooming patterns — adults asking to move the conversation, requests to meet up, unusual interest in a child's personal life
• Age-inappropriate content — adult sites, explicit material, disturbing or harmful videos
• Cyberbullying — threatening, humiliating, or harassing messages
• Self-harm and distress signals — content suggesting a child is struggling
• Dangerous content — instructions for violence, drug purchasing, weapons
• Toxic communities — incel ideology, looksmaxxing, radicalising content
• Suspicious apps and anonymous chat platforms

How to get started: Start at auntybea.app — not here. Create your free parent account first, add your children, and follow the setup guide. This companion app is the final step — it won't work without an account set up first.

1. Create your parent account at auntybea.app — your control centre for everything
2. Add your children and follow the guided setup
3. Install this companion app on your child's device when prompted
4. Aunty Bea monitors silently in the background
5. If something is flagged, you get an AI-generated alert on your dashboard
6. Read the plain-English summary — with a suggested conversation starter
7. You decide how to respond

Privacy by design: Aunty Bea only stores content that has been flagged. Flagged content is stored on-device and summarised by AI before reaching you. Raw content is never transmitted to parents. No location tracking. Your child's dignity is protected alongside their safety.

Hand to Child: Need to hand your own phone to your child temporarily? Install the companion app on your phone as well as your child's, and Hand to Child activates full monitoring on your device for the duration of the session. Manage it from your parent dashboard at auntybea.app — toggle it on, set a PIN to end it, and monitoring switches off automatically after four hours.

The Village: Connect with other Aunty Bea families in your area. Share advice, find local kid-friendly spots, and talk to parents who get it. The Village is a purpose-built community — no algorithmic feed, no engagement bait, just parents looking out for each other.

Aunty Bea requires Screen Time to be enabled on your child's device. A companion app must be installed on each device you want to monitor. Parental supervision and open conversations with your children remain the most important part of keeping them safe online — Aunty Bea is the safety net, not a replacement for trust.
