ParentSEE for reviewers

Everything you need to understand and test ParentSEE in ten minutes.

ParentSEE in one paragraph

ParentSEE shows you the names of the apps and websites your child's devices reach, and when. Think of it like seeing the street addresses your child visits, without knowing what happens inside. On Android, the ParentSEE app also tells you how long each app was actually open. Every Sunday, ParentSEE sends one short email about each child's week: what we noticed, and when it's worth it, one gentle question you could ask. Available in the United States.

Our mission: Give visibility to parents while creating trust.

What it is, and what it never does

What parents see

Which websites they visit
Which apps they use, and on Android, for how long
When concerning content appears

What it never does

Never reads messages
No location tracking
Your child always knows it's on

What parents don't see

Their messages or chats
Photos or videos
What they searched for
Their passwords
Their location
Anything inside apps

How we test

We test the way a parent sets it up: a test phone, enrolled like a child's device, visiting websites in Chrome.
Each test uses a fixed list of popular websites a child could visit.
Before a test runs, the list and the rules we score it by are written down and sealed, so a result can't be tuned after we see it.
If we can't see it, we say so, with the test that proved it.

In our own test, ParentSEE saw 97 of 99 websites a child could visit. Measured, not promised. (September 2026)

The founder

Nate Bergstedt

Founder, and a dad

Nate Bergstedt has worked in IT for seven years and holds a master's degree in IT management. He built ParentSEE after sitting on the couch while his two young children played on their tablets, and asking himself how he would know what they were doing.

He knew how heavy-handed most monitoring tools are, and he wanted something else: to bring the conversation back to parents without breaking a child's trust or their freedom to explore. ParentSEE shows where kids go online and never reads what's inside.

“We will never track location, or read messages. We will never break the trust of children and invade privacy. This is not a missing feature, this is our philosophy.”
