You don't have to let your kids figure out the Internet on their own

BrightCanary empowers you to guide and protect your kids when they're using YouTube, Google, TikTok, or Instagram. Get instant alerts, ongoing reports, and tailored advice to talk to your kids about difficult topics they encounter.

BrightCanary runs on your phone, not your kids’ devices. You connect your kids' Google or social accounts and we’ll take care of the rest — tracking what they’re watching and posting, and alerting you when you need to get involved. Kids don't have their own Google/YouTube account yet? We'll help you create one.

Our advanced AI filters through and synthesizes your kids' searches, DMs, videos and comments to determine if they're consuming something you need to talk with them about — like violence, racism, alcohol, and self-harm — so you don't have to review it all yourself.

Improve conversations with your kids by learning about the content and people influencing their opinions. Our AI chatbot Ask the Canary gives you instant advice to talk to your child about anything from violent videos to cyberbullying.

Your children’s social account login information and personal data never leaves your phone. The BrightCanary app connects to the social media services you’ve configured (like YouTube and TikTok) right from your phone and retrieves the lists of content they’ve watched.

Then the lists are anonymized and sent to our servers (without any identifying information about you or your kids) so our AI can scan for questionable content to alert you about.

Setting expectations as a family will help kids develop healthy habits, and provide an opportunity for open dialogue.

Getting a young child their first phone is a big decision. Here are the pros and cons, and how to tell if your child is ready.

Tips for managing your child's YouTube experience to ensure they stay safe and happy online.

When our kids were younger, it was easy to keep close control of what they were watching. Children and preteens want independence, but parents need to combine that with an open line of communication. BrightCanary helps by giving you awareness when your kids need guidance and parenting.
