The part most apps hide
What this dashboard cannot see
There is no child activity feed, play history, score history, drawing archive, location, or secret monitoring. Connected games receive only the current settings you chose.
Parent-held controls
Anonymous control spaces
Each space gets a generated word and number. You cannot enter a child’s name, age, school, or other identity.
Current settings only
Family controls
No anonymous control spaces yet.
Adults only
Trusted adult connections
There is no searchable directory, stranger request, child code, or one-way notification.
Silent mutual connection
Connect with another adult
Show your branded code to a parent or caregiver you know. They scan yours—or enter your one-time code—and you do the same with theirs. Nobody is told about a one-way scan.
Your one-time MakeJoy Friend Code
Create a code when the other parent is ready.
The QR and typed code are the same single-use secret.
Use the camera code when you are together. Use the exchange code when copying it between phones. Creating either one replaces the previous code.
Scan their code
Camera is off.
Camera frames are read only in this browser and are not uploaded. Camera access requires HTTPS or localhost.
This opens the phone's own camera or photo picker. The image stays on this device and is discarded after the QR is read.

Adult connections
Friends and family
No mutual adult connections yet.
The account does not show the other adult's email, a one-way scan, child activity, or gameplay history. Adult messaging is not enabled until its end-to-end encryption and device-recovery design passes a separate security review.
Safety center
Clear controls for the moments that matter
Install access, privacy limits, immediate pause controls, and problem reporting are kept together.
Available before the app stores
Install MakeJoy Parents
Install this web app from your browser for a home-screen icon and an app-like window. The shell can open offline; sign-in and account changes still require internet.
Your browser will show the installation steps available on this device.
An app update is ready.
Immediate controls
Pause without hunting through menus
These actions affect current access only. They do not create a history of what a child did.
Pausing keeps each anonymous space and its settings. Ending device access requires a fresh setup code before a game can read settings again.

Account boundary
One adult email, no child login
This account does not verify legal identity or prove that a person is a parent. It verifies control of the adult email used to sign in. Children never receive credentials or an inbox.
Account access
Signed-in browsers and apps
1 active session
MakeJoy counts current signed-in sessions without storing a device name, contact list, or location in the account. Use this if a shared or lost browser or phone may still be signed in.
Data portability
Download your account summary
Save a readable JSON file containing your adult email, current anonymous controls, and your private adult connection labels. It excludes browser-local notes, secrets, gameplay, and child information.

This removes the adult email account, sessions, QR offers, scans, connections, private friend labels, control spaces, setup codes, and device access. Friend notes are also removed from this browser.
