An app called Young Minds wants to control parents to control their children on the Internet, while also protects their children’s privacy and teaches them good online habits.
The startup was established by Nino dvalidze (painted), an entrepreneur and mother of two from the United Kingdom. Dvalidze told Techcrunch that the idea for the young mind came out of conversation with fellow parents, who are also concerned about keeping their children safe, while they are also allowed to reach the Internet, which he accepted, “is very helpful in reference to the education and exploration and contact with many people outside the contacts.”
Dvalidze reported that the young brain, which will be introduced in the Startup Battlefield in Techcrunch Disruption 2025, has two versions: the original app and The Children’s App. The east gives some control to the latter, allowing the parents to set up screen deadlines, to reduce some materials, but do not have the ability to monitor all communications on their children’s equipment. San Francisco runs on 29 October on 29 October on 29 October.
“We are protecting as a minimum foundation,” Dvalidze said in a phone call. “We need to make sure that there is nothing for the young eyes that can reach them.”
But the app is also designed to teach children why some materials are blocked or some are said to be risky. Dvalidze stated that the app scans the use of its tablet or phone child with AI to potentially detect and flag, but the company does not store any user data. He said that parents may use in-app chatbott to educate themselves about the possible risks of certain sites or apps.
Young mind is available on Android. The iOS version will be launched next week, but Dvalidze admitted what data apps can access from other apps due to the restrictions of iOS, the version is slightly different from the Apple devices, with “work -rounds”.
“We store some information with the consent of the parents and analyze it,” he said, referring to a workaround that they use on iOS.

In the context of controlling the screen time, the young brain can be set to turn some routine, as well as specific modes such as “study mode”, which only allows education apps such as Doolingo, or “Wind Down Mode”, which prohibits apps and use that can interfere with their sleep. Parents can customize these mode based on the needs of themselves and their children.
