Comprehensive Monitoring
LivingRoom records the screen so you know exactly what your child is doing — across every app and browser, every conversation. Nothing is hidden.
Every app*
Social media, browsers, messaging, games — screenshots capture it all.
Impossible to bypass
Incognito mode, VPNs, deleted messages — none of it matters. Screenshots capture the full screen.
Screenshots of activity
Review screenshots of your child's activity to see exactly what they were looking at.

Learn moreAutomatic Nudity Detection & Blocking
LivingRoom scans the screen for nudity every five seconds while recording. If detected, it shields the screen and turns off the internet — automatically, with zero setup required.
Shields the screen
Inappropriate content is immediately hidden from view.
Turns off the internet
The responsible app is blocked and connectivity is cut instantly.
Blocks nudity and adult websites
LivingRoom automatically blocks known adult websites. On top of that, nudity detection scans the screen every five seconds — so even if inappropriate content slips through on an unblocked site or app, the screen is shielded and the internet is turned off immediately.
How it works
Apps are blocked, & screen recording is requested
To access apps, other than your always allowed apps, your child must start the screen recorder in the LivingRoom app.
Recording starts, apps are unlocked
Once the screen recorder starts, apps are unblocked. Your child will see a recording indicator on the screen, reminding them that their device usage is visible to a parent.
Monitoring and protection kick in
While recording, LivingRoom detects and blocks nudity, and periodically sends screenshots to the parent dashboard so you can see exactly what your child was looking at.
