Built by a parent, for parents. Protecting children without compromising their privacy.
Our Mission
My Digital Nanny exists to protect children from the harmful audio content that streams freely through YouTube, TikTok, and other platforms — while respecting their privacy, dignity, and the trust that comes with growing up.
No audio ever leaves the device. No accounts, no cloud recordings. Your family's conversations are yours alone.
Children know they're being monitored. We believe in open, honest relationships between parents and children — not covert surveillance.
Parents set the rules. Children can request to unpair, but only parents can approve — keeping families in control.
All intelligence runs locally. No data centres, no third-party AI APIs processing your child's voice.
My Digital Nanny was built by a parent of four from the UK — with a big age gap between the kids. That's where the problem started.
When you have teenagers and young children sharing the same household, streaming algorithms get confused. They see a mix of viewing habits and start serving up content that's fine for a 16-year-old but completely inappropriate for a 7-year-old. It never happened to us, but the worry was always there — and I couldn't find anything that would catch it if it did.
Every app I tried focused on blocking and screen time. None of them could actually listen. So I built one that could.
The second problem I found while researching was worse. The apps that did monitor messages had genuinely terrible reviews — not because they didn't work, but because parents could read their child's exact messages. Kids found out, trust was destroyed, and relationships were damaged. That's not a solution, that's a different problem.
So I built an AI layer in between. You get alerted to the subject and the concern — but not the exact words or sentences that triggered it. You know something needs a conversation, without having read your child's private messages to get there. It protects the relationship. It also dramatically cuts false positives, because the AI understands context rather than just matching keywords.
Questions, feedback, or press enquiries — we'd love to hear from you.
