AnLog Get Started
A Design Garden Product

AnLog

A social and playdate platform where kids lead the discovery and parents govern the access. For children ages 6–15, anchored in local community — not in an algorithm.

How it works

STEP 01
01
Child initiates

Kid picks a nickname, age, and town. App pauses — nothing happens until a parent completes setup.

STEP 02
02
Parent approves

Guardian verifies identity, creates the House, sets age-tier permissions, signs the Values Pledge.

STEP 03
03
Kid plays

Approved child joins their House, local feed, cooperative games, and parent-approved playdates.

Safe by design

AI
AI moderation

Every child conversation monitored. Trouble flagged, nudges issued before escalation, parents notified immediately.

CO
COPPA compliant

Zero child photos. Pseudonymized accounts, monogram avatars. Parent-governed, transparent data.

PA
Parental governance

Three age tiers — Explorer 6–8, Builder 9–12, Pathfinder 13–15. Permissions scale with maturity.

GR
Grounding, not punishment

Temporary lockouts for involved children only. Parental approval to lift. Repeated violations reduce Honorable Score.

The community

HD
Houses
Family identity, not personal brands. "House Bellweather of Mapleton." Banners link families across towns.
FE
Local Feed
Town and county visibility by default. Positive reactions only. Celebrations, achievements, events.
PD
Playdates
Scheduled via app, parent-approved. Real-world and virtual. Location and time controlled by guardians.
Q
Cultural Quests
Holidays, traditions, local history, food. Empathy-building between Houses. Earn badges and Honorable Score.
