Why BrightCanary

Easy to manage all your child’s activity on a single dashboard

AI scans posts, videos, and messages and alerts you about concerning content

Monitors from the parent’s device so kids can’t delete it

With an 11-year-old, online safety has to be a priority. Some of what comes to them through social feeds is shocking — drugs and adult content. The app’s AI makes it easy to supervise, without having to take his phone or hover, and it covers risky places like messaging that need monitoring.

- Jerome, Jacksonville dad

A 13 year old from a nearby middle school died in his bedroom after taking what he thought was a muscle relaxant. It turned out to be laced and he ordered it like a pizza through a social media app. Parents, we need to supervise. This app is the best one I’ve found to do that. And it monitors DMs.

FAQ

How does BrightCanary compare to other services?

BrightCanary gives parents more supervision on the apps kids use most often. Our app tracks your child’s searches and viewing history on YouTube and Google, as well as direct messages, comments, and posts on TikTok and Instagram. The app also keeps an eye on iMessages and text messages, all from your phone.

Other monitoring apps require you to install software on your computer and occasionally plug your child’s phone into that computer to monitor your child’s activity. With BrightCanary, you enter your child’s account details into the app once. From then on, we monitor their activities and will alert you if they view, receive, or send anything worrying.

 

What do kids think about BrightCanary monitoring?

A tool like BrightCanary helps parents keep an open dialogue with their child about what they're seeing and reading on the internet. Our goal is to help parents develop smart, savvy internet users by keeping them involved in their children's online activity during their formative pre-teen and teen years.

Most children are open to their parents using BrightCanary once they understand the goal is only to alert parents about dangerous or inappropriate content. Many parents make using a monitoring app a condition for getting their first phone.

 

How does the AI in BrightCanary decide what is "concerning content"?

BrightCanary uses advanced algorithms developed from enormous datasets to identify patterns, keywords, and other indicators of potentially harmful content. The system has been refined to recognize threats, explicit content, and signs of bullying or distress.

 

Is the data from iMessage monitoring stored or shared by BrightCanary?

No, BrightCanary prioritizes user privacy. While the system scans and analyzes messages for concerning content, it does not store or share any personal data, ensuring your child's conversations remain private.

 

Will my child know that their activity is being monitored?

We advocate for open communication between parents and their children about online behavior and safety. So, we encourage parents to talk to their children about how they use BrightCanary.

 

What exactly does BrightCanary's iPhone text monitoring track?

BrightCanary’s text message monitoring focuses on your child’s sent and received messages, scanning for potentially concerning content to alert parents. It’s designed to identify signs of cyberbullying, unsolicited explicit content, and any other alarming interactions.
