About
Screenwise provides personalized, AI-driven media recommendations and digital wellness insights for families. It helps intentional parents navigate the complex landscape of shows, games, books, and apps to find content that is developmentally positive and age-appropriate.
What we do
Screenwise helps intentional parents discover media their kids will love and that they can feel good about. Using a free, anonymous 5-minute survey, the platform generates instant personalized recommendations across shows, games, books, movies, and apps — all expert-rated for developmental appropriateness. It combines AI-driven insights with browsable Screenwise Ratings to give families a clear, trustworthy guide to the ever-expanding content landscape.
Who it's for
- Intentional Parents
Parents who want to make thoughtful, informed decisions about the media their children consume rather than defaulting to whatever is trending.
- Overwhelmed by the sheer volume of content available across streaming, gaming, and app platforms
- Unsure which content is actually age-appropriate and developmentally positive versus just marketed that way
- Lack a reliable, unbiased source that cuts through marketing hype to give honest recommendations
- Parents of Young Children
Parents of toddlers through pre-teens who are navigating screen time for the first time and want expert guidance from the start.
- No clear framework for deciding what counts as 'good' screen time versus passive or harmful consumption
- Struggling to balance digital engagement with healthy development milestones
- Finding it hard to stay ahead of trends in apps and games that kids are drawn to
- Parents of Tweens & Teens
Parents managing older kids who are increasingly independent in their media consumption and active on social platforms.
- Growing awareness of social media risks but limited practical tools to navigate them as a family
- Kids are consuming content parents haven't vetted or even heard of
- Difficulty maintaining open, informed conversations about digital wellness without appearing out of touch
