Parental control and screen time apps
This cluster consists of parental control and monitoring apps that help parents manage children's device usage through screen time limits, content filtering, app blocking, and in many cases location tracking, with several incorporating chore-based rewards and parental approval workflows. The dated history shows sparse, steady monthly entries from 2009 through 2025 (typically 1-5 per month), followed by a marked build-up in early 2026 with monthly counts between 3 and 11 before the index began, indicating a recent acceleration in product submissions. On traction, aegis-ebeveynapp and aegis-cocukapp lead with 1 star each, while Piggy - Earn Screen Time trails with 0 stars.
Entry timeline
ENTRY TIMELINE
Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.
