Project Overview
As children’s screen time continues to increase, parents need smarter tools that go beyond simple restrictions. The vision behind Brat was to create a digital companion that helps families build healthier technology habits while keeping children safe online.
We collaborated closely with the client to design and engineer an intuitive parental control application that gives parents complete visibility into device usage, location, and digital behaviour—all from one easy-to-use mobile experience.
Business Challenge
Parents often juggle multiple apps to monitor screen time, track locations, and manage online safety. Most existing solutions are either too complicated to configure or provide limited control over children’s digital activities.
The objective was to create a unified platform where parents could effortlessly manage multiple devices, establish healthy digital boundaries, and receive meaningful insights without overwhelming complexity.
The solution needed to support:
Multiple child profiles
Live GPS tracking
Screen-time scheduling
Remote app management
Website filtering
Activity reporting
Secure family accounts
Our Approach
Rather than building another monitoring application, we focused on creating a proactive digital parenting experience.
Every workflow was designed around everyday parenting scenarios—from limiting screen time during homework hours to remotely blocking distracting apps and locating children in real time. The result is a platform that feels supportive rather than restrictive, giving parents confidence while encouraging responsible technology usage.
