FrameBright·for parents

The full parent guide.

Who built FrameBright, what it is, what it isn't, and how to think about screen time with young kids. No marketing language; no fabricated user counts. Direct.

Who we are

Eric MacDougall and Tisha Becker. We are business partners based in Canada. FrameBright is one of the products in Good Ventures Lab, our venture studio. We built FrameBright because the kid-screen-time options we surveyed, both free and paid, were either ad-stuffed or surveillance-stuffed.

What FrameBright is

  • A small library of free games for kids ages 3 to 8, on the web.
  • A growing universe of original Blaze stories and videos.
  • A free parent app that whitelists YouTube content, runs kiosk mode, and ties screen time to chores.
  • A trust contract: no ads, no third-party trackers, no sale of data.

What FrameBright isn't

  • It is not an algorithmic recommender. Your kid sees what you whitelist; nothing else.
  • It is not free-because-you-are-the-product. We do not sell your data and we do not show ads.
  • It is not a subscription trap. The current beta is free. Post-beta pricing will be announced openly with at least 30 days of notice.
  • It is not a babysitter. Tools like FrameBright work best when a grown-up is in the room sometimes; the chore-and-task system is built around that.

How to think about screen time

Honestly, this is the longest section. Read the dedicated conversation guide when you have ten minutes; the short version is below.

  • Time is the easy lever; quality is the hard one. Two hours of a known-good story is not the same as two hours of an ad-driven autoplay loop. We try hard to make the time worth it.
  • Earned time is felt time. Kids treat earned screen time differently from given screen time. The chore-and-task system is built around this; results are not magic, but they help.
  • You are still the parent. The app is a tool. The cap, the chore list, the whitelist; all of it is your call. We will not nag you about more usage. We will probably nag you about less.
