About CanGuru

We are building a parental-controls product that treats children as future adults, not as users to be retained.

Our mission

Most parental-control apps treat screen time as a battle to win. We treat it as a skill to teach. CanGuru turns daily routines into earned screen time and gives kids the chance to make their own decisions — within boundaries you set.

How we think

  • Autonomy over retention

    We measure success by how soon a child no longer needs the app. No XP, no leveling, no streaks designed to keep them hooked.

  • Privacy first

    Children don't sign up. We collect only what parents enter. No ads. No third-party trackers. No selling data, ever.

  • Soft, not adversarial

    We notify, warn and explain — not just block. The goal is a calmer family, not a more locked-down phone.
