Activity View

A single live view of what your child is doing on their phone right now — the app they are in, what is on screen, and what they have been up to today.

What Activity View does

  • Live, not delayed

    See the current app and screen the moment you open Guardian.

  • Today at a glance

    A running feed of the apps and sites they used today.

  • Quiet by default

    Look when you need to — not a stream you have to sit and watch.

Questions

Activity View — the questions parents ask

Does my child know Guardian is there?+

Yes. Guardian is visible on their phone under its own name and consent is recorded at pairing — it isn’t a hidden or secret tool.

Is Activity View live or a recording?+

It shows what’s happening now and a feed of today’s apps — Guardian doesn’t keep a running recording of the screen.
