Amazing Apps - Bright Canary

 Back to school means new friends and technology for kids. How do parents keep their kids safe with all the content at their fingertips? 

BrightCanary isa new app that helps parents monitor their kids' consumption on YouTube, Google, TikTok and Instagram. Parents get instant alerts, ongoing reports, and tailored advice to talk to kids about difficult topics they encounter online from violent video games to cyberbullying. 

 

Key benefits:

 

     *BrightCanary was made for (generally) parents of 8–13-year-olds, when kids typically get their first device

     *Unlike other solution available, BrightCanary is only installed on the parent's phone. No other software or apps required on any other devices. Here's a quick video on how it works. 

     *BrightCanary is available for $5.99/month after a free week trial. 

     *Offers a great complement to Apple Screen Time and Google Family Link, however, BrightCanary goes beyond monitoring which apps and sites they use to monitoring the actual content they're reading, viewing and posting. 

     *BrightCanary uses natural language processing and machine learning models to give parents a snapshot of their kids' daily digital habits and flags any concerning content so families can chat about important topics together.
