About this app

Understand what your kid sees.

Beacon is the parental monitoring app that explains what your kids watch, not just logs it. Pair Beacon Browser on your child's phone or tablet, and every YouTube, YouTube Kids, and TikTok video they watch gets a plain-English summary on your parent dashboard.

How it works:
• Install Beacon Browser on your child's device and pair it with a code from your web dashboard.
• Your child browses YouTube, YouTube Kids, and TikTok inside Beacon Browser.
• On your dashboard at joinbeacon.io, every video comes back with a summary: themes, tone, anything worth knowing. A "Needs Attention" panel surfaces the handful of videos with mature content so you don't have to wade through everything.

Why parents choose Beacon:
• Context, not control. See what content is actually landing without blocking, filtering, or shaming.
• Works on their phone AND their tablet. The same paired device follows your kid across screens.
• Per-kid context. Conversation prompts adapt to your child's age, and concern preferences are tracked per child.
• Your kid's account stays their own. Beacon doesn't need your YouTube or TikTok login; it observes only on the devices you choose.

Privacy promise: Beacon never sells your family's data. We don't run ad targeting, we don't share with analytics brokers, and the LLMs that generate summaries never train on your child's watch history. Read the full policy at joinbeacon.io/privacy.

Subscribe on the web at joinbeacon.io. Start with a 7-day free trial, then $14.99/month or $149/year. Unlimited kids, all platforms, full summaries.
