Know when something’s wrong online.
Little Helper reads the chat on your kid’s Windows PC or Mac, keeps just the moments that matter, and never hides from your child.
For families with kids who game and chat on a computer.
Kids don’t see the danger in the chat box.
3 in 4 kids aged 10 to 17 were harassed in online multiplayer games. Chat is an easy way to manipulate a child, and the filters most families use never see it.

Install it with your kid.
Pair the computer with a 6-digit code. Your child sees a plain-English notice and the Little Helper icon from day one.
It reads the screen, on the computer.
Text in any app or game is checked on the device. Only risky moments, and a few sampled screenshots, go to the AI safety check.
You get the moment, not a log.
A push alert for serious concerns, then the screen, a little context and the words. Grooming moments link to where to report.
Chat lines are illustrative. The alert text is the product’s.
The player loads from YouTube only when you press play. Watch on YouTube
For your kid
No hidden mode. Ever.
The Little Helper icon is always visible while it’s on, and it tells your child what is happening. Monitoring that hides teaches kids to hide. This one starts a conversation.
Eyes open.
Little Helper is on and watching out.
A light comes on.
“A parent is viewing your screen.” Live view stops by itself after 10 minutes, and nothing is saved.
Eyes closed.
Quiet hours. Nothing is captured.
Privacy
It keeps almost nothing.
Constant screenshots would be too costly and too invasive to store. So Little Helper keeps only what matters.
Text on screen is read on the computer. Ordinary chat never leaves it.
Unblurred copies of explicit images. Nudity is blurred on the computer before anything is sent.
About one screenshot every 2 minutes goes to the AI image check, then is deleted unless something is found. You can change this or turn it off.
Flagged moments are kept for 30 days, then deleted.
