Eva

Overview

Eva is a parental control app that helps families manage screen time and online safety. The app balances effective monitoring with respect for children’s privacy through transparent, age-appropriate controls.

The Problem

Parents needed tools to protect their children online without creating an adversarial relationship or completely restricting digital access.

Constraints

• MDM (Mobile Device Management) integration requirements
• Age-appropriate control levels
• Cross-platform family support (iOS and Android)
• Real-time location tracking with battery optimization

Our Role

Full-stack development:

• Parent and child app development
• Backend infrastructure
• MDM profile management
• Real-time notification system

Key Decisions

Transparent monitoring approach: Children know they’re being monitored, promoting trust and open communication.

Age-based control presets: Simplified setup with appropriate defaults for different age groups.

Firebase for real-time features: Enabled instant notifications and live location updates.

Implementation

• Screen time scheduling and limits
• Content filtering by category
• Location tracking with geofencing
• Activity reports for parents
• Emergency contact features

Results

• Thousands of families using the app
• High parent satisfaction with control features
• Positive feedback on balanced approach to monitoring
• Strong retention rates among active users

What We’d Do Differently

Earlier focus on the onboarding experience for the child app would have improved family adoption rates.
