Why we exist

From control to trust.

Most apps answer screen time with walls. We built DigiTogether so children earn freedom, parents stay calm, and the rules relax as trust grows.

Mission

Help every family raise children who use technology well, by choice.

Vision

A generation that grows up digital with trust, not walls.

Built to be switched off

The best day is the day your child doesn't need us. Rules relax as trust grows.

Why we built DigiTogether

Blocking alone doesn't work. Research says so.

We read the studies on children, parents and phones, then built the app around what they found.

  1. Kids feel spied on

    Research found

    76% of children's reviews of parental-control apps gave one star: too invasive, and bad for their relationship with their parents.

    Ghosh et al., CHI 2018
    So DigiTogether

    Your child sees the same list you do, agrees on their own phone, and can always ask.

  2. More control, not less risk

    Research found

    In 215 parent–teen pairs, more parental control went with more online risk, not less.

    Ghosh et al., CHI 2018 (extended abstract)
    So DigiTogether

    Quests, weekly insights and plans you agree together, not just blocks.

  3. Walls cut opportunities too

    Research found

    Across 6,400 parents, restrictive rules went with fewer online risks, but also with fewer opportunities online.

    Livingstone et al., 2017
    So DigiTogether

    Only what could hurt is blocked, and the Trust ladder relaxes rules as skills grow.

  4. Pushing kills motivation

    Research found

    Children try hardest when they have a choice, can see their progress, and feel close to others.

    Ryan & Deci, 2000
    So DigiTogether

    Your child picks quests, sees their own week, and does quests with you.

  5. Parents are worn out

    Research found

    Two in three parents say raising children is harder than 20 years ago; technology is one of the reasons they name most.

    Pew Research Center, 2020
    So DigiTogether

    Good news first, then one thing to talk about, and one small plan.

Not parental control. The family trust app, built to be switched off.

All the research
Moments we built it for

You know these moments. Here's what changes.

Everyday family moments, with made-up names. Each shows what DigiTogether really does.

11 PM, still scrolling

Aanya, 12

Every night ended with "just five more minutes" and a fight.

With DigiTogether

Bedtime: apps rest at 9:30, calls and texts still work

A heads-up at 30 and 10 minutes, so it's never a surprise

Saturday's report: bedtime kept 6 of 7 nights

The game everyone at school has

Kabir, 10

He'd install it quietly and hope nobody noticed.

With DigiTogether

The new app waits for your OK before it opens

Kabir asks with a reason; you see it on your phone

You say yes, with 30 minutes a day

Did she reach tuition?

Ishita, 14

Calling mid-class embarrassed her. Not calling worried you.

With DigiTogether

Tuition is a safe zone

"Arrived at Tuition, 4:12 PM" on your phone

No call needed. Battery saver keeps her phone going

A message from someone new

Rohan, 13

An unknown number kept messaging, then asked to meet.

With DigiTogether

Checked on his phone; the chat is never read or sent

An urgent alert for you: the risky words and who sent them

You talk it through together, calmly

Too young for her own phone

Meera, 7

Handing over your phone meant your chats, your apps, everything.

With DigiTogether

Kids mode on your phone, with a 30-minute timer

Her limits apply; your PIN switches it back

"Welcome back" tells you what she opened

Exams next week

Arjun, 15

He wanted to study. His phone wanted him back.

With DigiTogether

Study mode: only study apps open

A plan you agree together: phones down at 9:30

He keeps it 5 of 6 days and earns growth points

What makes DigiTogether different

Not another lock. A way to grow trust.

Six ideas at the heart of everything we build.

Trust that grows

Rules relax as your child grows. Each step on the Trust ladder hands over a Digi Key: more time, their own quests, their word.

Your child gives you quests too

"No phone at dinner", "Play cricket with me": they set you quests and check you did them. It goes both ways.

Good news first

Reports start with what went well, then one thing to talk about, and a small plan you agree together.

Nobody reads their chats

Not you, not us. Risky words are checked on their phone; your child sees exactly what you can see, and agrees.

Asks, not sneaking

More time or a new app? They ask with a reason, and you answer in one tap from anywhere.

Made for Indian families

English and हिंदी, a Gullak for pocket money, one shared phone if needed, and under 15 MB on any Android phone.

A week with DigiTogether

Fewer fights. More trust. One week at a time.

A made-up family, and what DigiTogether really does each day.

Try it early
  1. Monday

    You set a daily limit and bedtime together. Aanya sees exactly how much time she has.

  2. Tuesday

    Time's up mid-project. Aanya asks for 15 minutes "to finish my science video". You tap +15 min.

  3. Wednesday

    She picks a quest: a paper plane contest. A photo later, +10 coins in her Gullak.

  4. Thursday

    Aanya gives you a quest: "No phone at dinner". She checks you kept it.

  5. Saturday

    Your weekly report: bedtime kept 6 of 7 nights. One thing to talk about: late short videos.

  6. Sunday

    You agree a small plan together: phones down at 9:30. Aanya says yes on her phone.

  7. A month later

    Aanya steps up to Trusted, and you hand over a Digi Key: her own quest ideas.

Two phones, or one shared

Works the way your family does.

Two phones

DigiTogether on your phone and on your child's. Linked with your email and a PIN only you know.

One shared phone

No phone for your child yet? Hand them yours in Kids mode, with a timer. Your PIN switches it back.

More children, more phones

Add every child, and more than one phone for each. Each child has their own rules.

Designed For Peaceful Evenings

What gets better at home.

One app on your phone and your child's. Fewer arguments, no sneaking at night, and no phone snatched away.

schedule
No sudden switch-offs

Fair screen time and bedtime

Daily and per-app limits your child can see, with heads-ups at 30 and 10 minutes left, bedtime and study mode. Calls and texts always work.
