Know Their Apps

Digital safety guides for parents

Know what your kids are really doing online.

Know Their Apps publishes downloadable guides that show parents exactly which apps and AI tools their children are using, what the real risks are, and which settings to change first. No fear mongering. No taking the phone away.

You already feel it. Here is what to do about it.

Your kid's phone is the one thing in your house you can't see into.

You have met their friends. You have not met the accounts messaging them inside an app you have never opened. The game they call "gaming" is an open room a stranger can walk into. And the settings you changed once, months ago, may not be the settings that are live right now.

And the newest one isn't a person at all. It is the AI they told you was just for homework.

That is not a reason to panic, and it is not a reason to take the phone away. It is a reason to find out. The parents who handle this well are not the most technical ones. They are the ones who decided to actually look, and then knew what to do next.

Clarity

You know which apps carry real risk and why, instead of guessing.

Confidence

You have closed the settings that were open by default, and you have a plan if something ever goes wrong.

Connection

You know what to say when it comes up, so the conversation brings you closer instead of shutting them down.

Why this exists

A couple of notifications from my kids' school changed everything for me. My wife and I have three kids entering their teenage years, and we thought we had a handle on it. We didn't.

So I started digging into what kids are actually using, what the real risks are, and what parents can actually do about it. Know Their Apps is what I built for my own family first. Now I am sharing it with you.
