Emma spent most of her screen time on educational science content today. She watched a series about the solar system and black holes, along with a couple of math tutorial videos. One gaming video contained some mild language.
Profanity: Mild swearing throughout (one use of "damn", several uses of "crap")

Setup
No. Kids browse YouTube, YouTube Kids, and TikTok inside Beacon Browser (a free iOS + Android app) instead of the native apps. Once installed, watch events sync to your dashboard automatically.
Privacy
Watch history is stored on your account and never shared. Video summaries use third-party AI services (disclosed in the privacy policy). You can delete everything at any time.
Positioning
They operate at the container level: apps, sites, time limits. Beacon operates at the content level: what's actually in each video. Today that's information; the roadmap turns it into finer-grained controls.
Unlike parental controls that block and filter, Beacon helps you understand what your kids are actually watching.
