Research consistently shows that children of distracted parents exhibit increased anxiety, more behavioral problems, and difficulty forming secure attachments. Children are highly attuned to parental attention and internalize being deprioritized.

You record short voice samples from family members. The AI learns their unique vocal patterns and can distinguish them from TV, radio, or background conversations. All processing runs locally on the device — nothing is uploaded or stored externally.

Technoference is the term researchers use for everyday interruptions in face-to-face interactions caused by devices. Studies link it to greater relationship conflict, lower satisfaction, increased depressive symptoms, and behavioral problems in children.

No. The app monitors only apps you mark as distracting — social media, news, games. Work tools like Slack or Zoom won't trigger interventions. You can also customize which apps are monitored.

All voice processing happens locally on your device. The app never records, uploads, or stores audio. It only listens for specific trained voice patterns while distracting apps are in use.

It's a daily measure of how often you stayed off distracting apps during time with your family, based on logged interventions and phone-free blocks. It's meant as a trend to improve, not a grade.

Yes. Partner Mode works the same way: when your partner speaks to you while you're on a distracting app, you get the nudge. Technoference research links exactly that pattern to lower relationship satisfaction.
