Monitor and protect your child's whole device! It's easy use and impossible to bypass. Complete setup in under 10 minutes.
Screens are visible in your LivingRoom! Gain true insight with screenshots from every app, helping you teach digital responsibility through transparency, not just restriction.
LivingRoom can be used to monitor anything! Monitor Messages, web browsers, YouTube, Roblox, Instagram, Snapchat, and more! The app enables internet on your child's device only when screen recording is active. About once per minute, screenshots are saved to your secure dashboard, giving you peace of mind and creating opportunities to get to know your child's online world, talk about online safety, or to set restrictions if something becomes an issue. Encourage accountability and build digital trust instead of fighting over screen time.
Instructions:
1. Setup Apple Family Sharing using your iPhone/iPad/Mac.
2. Install this app on your child's iPhone/iPad and follow the instructions on screen.
3. Check screenshots on admin.livingroomapp.com
Pro tip: You can make it so highly-trusted apps don't require screen recording. Add these apps in Settings->Family->Child Name->Screen Time->Always Allowed and on admin.livingroomapp.com.
Notes: The Phone app is always allowed. Copyright-protected video-streaming apps such as Disney+ and Netflix may be used but cannot be monitored.
Parental monitoring with screen recording and screenshots
Ben Bozzay
This app uses screen recording to monitor all activity on a child's iPhone or iPad, so it's about as good as it gets from a parental monitoring perspective. Your child will see a recording indicator as they use the device, which reminds them to behave as if they were sitting next to you. It's a simple app to set up and there's almost no configuration required. You can review screenshots of what your child was up to. This app can't be bypassed and there aren't any known monitoring loopholes. If you want a simple, yet completely effective approach to parental controls, save yourself some time and just use an app like LivingRoom for Families

Before the LivingRoom app we used guided access a lot on my son's IPad. It worked, but was very limiting because he could only use 1 app at a time. Now he has the option to choose without getting help from me every time which he feels good about and I feel good about the fact he doesn't have access to everything on the internet if his iPad isn't in guided access mode. Win win! Plus I like that it is easy to install and use.
Fantastic app—not just for kids

I’ve been using LivingRoom alongside TechLockdown browser to help with purity and it’s been very very helpful in not completely limiting access to helpful apps while maintaining accountability within apps. My only ask is if a lifetime purchase could be an option someday.

Text message of spot but my son is in freshwater and it has slow respond to me a lot and it pops up even for us that are always allowed and he has to hold the screen because most apps want to email. It doesn’t allow me to make Safari always allow it. I can see what has been viewed in Safari for screen time so I wish I could turn on “always allow “ for safari. For this reason, I will not be using this out unfortunately. Otherwise, I really like the idea.
For a better experience with Apple Music, you can now set it to Always-Allowed on admin.livingroomapp.com. Also, LivingRoom app cold-start time is now faster.
