A Design Garden Product
AnLog
Kids lead the discovery. Parents govern the access. A social and playdate platform for children 6–15, anchored in local community — not in an algorithm.
How it works
01
Child initiates
Kid picks a nickname, age, and town. App pauses — nothing happens until a parent completes setup.
02
Parent approves
Guardian verifies identity, creates the House, sets age-tier permissions, signs the Values Pledge.
03
Kid plays
Approved child joins their House, local feed, cooperative games, and parent-approved playdates.
Safe by design
AI Moderation
24/7
Every child conversation monitored. Trouble flagged, nudges issued before escalation, parents notified immediately.
COPPA Compliant
0
Zero child photos. Pseudonymized accounts, monogram avatars. Parent-governed, transparent data.
Parental Governance
3
Three age tiers — Explorer 6–8, Builder 9–12, Pathfinder 13–15. Permissions scale with maturity.
Grounding, not punishment
PAUSE
Temporary lockouts for involved children only. Parental approval to lift. Repeated violations reduce Honorable Score.
The community
Houses
Family identity, not personal brands. "House Bellweather of Mapleton." Banners link families across towns.
Local Feed
Town and county visibility by default. Positive reactions only. Celebrations, achievements, events.
Playdates
Scheduled via app, parent-approved. Real-world and virtual. Location and time controlled by guardians.
Cultural Quests
Holidays, traditions, local history, food. Empathy-building between Houses. Earn badges and Honorable Score.
