What Is the Young Minds App and How Does It Work?

The Young Minds App is a next-generation parental control solution, combining powerful protection with positive digital education.

The Young Minds App is a digital wellbeing platform designed to help families build healthy and safe technology habits. It combines content filtering, behaviour tracking, screen time management, and location monitoring with advanced AI/ML technology that helps detect potential risks early and adapt to emerging online threats.

Parents receive clear, actionable insights into how their children use their devices, helping them guide conversations about online safety and responsible digital behaviour.

At the same time, children learn through interactive, gamified lessons and a reward system that encourages them to develop positive online habits while still enjoying their digital world.

With Young Minds, parents can:

  • Track their child’s device activity through a clear timeline and smart summaries
  • Monitor games and apps used daily
  • Set screen time schedules and daily usage limits
  • Activate modes such as Study Mode or Bedtime Mode
  • Supervise activity across multiple devices
  • Track their child’s location for added safety
  • Help children learn online safety through fun, gamified lessons

Young Minds consists of two connected applications: one for parents and one for children.

Parent App

The Parent App is installed on the parent’s device and acts as the control centre.

From here, parents can:

  • Manage screen time and device modes
  • Monitor their child’s activity throughout the day
  • Receive insights about app usage and behaviour
  • Track progress in educational safety lessons
  • Track their child’s location

This gives parents a clear, real-time overview of how their child uses their device and allows them to guide usage in a supportive way.

Kids App

The Kids App is installed on the child’s device.

It provides children with a simple and friendly interface where they can:

  • See how much screen time they’ve used
  • Check which modes (such as Study or Bedtime) are active
  • Access interactive lessons about online safety

These lessons help children understand how to navigate the digital world responsibly and build healthy technology habits.

The Parent App and Kids App work together seamlessly to support better screen time management and digital wellbeing.

Parents gain the tools to guide and protect their children online, while children learn how to use technology responsibly - creating a healthier digital experience for the whole family.
