Garden gives your kids a curated corner of the internet — great games, great learning, an AI helper you can actually see into — and quietly saves the story of their growing up.
🚫 No ads.🔒 No data selling.🧒 Built COPPA-first.
"Free games" sites bury kids in ads and garbage. The good stuff exists — someone just has to curate it.
Kids are already talking to chatbots. Most were built for adults, and you can't see a word of it.
Blocking everything turns you into the villain. There's a better job than gatekeeper: gardener.
Pillar one
Their own front door to the internet. You pick the sites — PBS Kids, Beast Academy, Chrome Music Lab, whatever fits your kid — and they get a bright, simple launcher that's all theirs. Anything else politely asks you first.
Pillar two
Scout answers their million questions at their reading level, points them to sites you've already approved, and never pretends to be their friend. No characters. No roleplay. Every conversation visible to you — and your kid knows it. Honest AI for kids who are still learning what AI is.
Pillar three
Every streak, trophy, drawing, and "I'm proud of this" gets saved to their Book — a record of their childhood they'll keep forever. Scout even asks them one good question a week ("What was the best part of today?") so their own voice is in there too. You will cry reading it someday. That's the point.
2 minutes with our starter packs.
to their browser.
Beta build: unzip, then load it from chrome://extensions → Developer mode → “Load unpacked”. It pairs itself once you're signed in to your dashboard.
Streaks, drawings, milestones — saved.
Rewards
Set a goal — finish the multiplication unit, read three books, learn to ride a bike. They earn points. Points become rewards you choose: a toy, movie-night pick, or five dollars to the animal shelter. You're teaching follow-through, not buying screen time.
Family Circle
Invite the family adults you trust. They can leave a voice note on a drawing, cheer on a goal, and be part of the record. "Grandpa saw your trophy" hits different when you're seven.
Fifteen years in cybersecurity taught me what companies do with data. So here's what we don't do: no ads, no selling data, no AI training on your kids' words, no tracking beyond the domains you approved. Kid profiles need a first name and a birth month — that's it. Everything is exportable, always. And when a support engineer ever needs to touch your account, you get an email about it.
An older, determined kid can disable a browser extension — anyone who tells you otherwise is selling something. Garden is honest training wheels for roughly ages 5–11, and we'll show you how to make it effectively locked-down on Chromebooks with Google Family Link. We'll also tell you when your kid has outgrown fences and needs conversations instead.
Scout won't roleplay characters, act like a friend, claim feelings, or keep secrets. It answers questions, helps with homework thinking, and asks Book questions. If your kid tells Scout something worrying, you hear about it fast.
Yes — it says so right on their screen. We don't help you spy on your kids. We make visibility mutual and normal, which is how trust gets built.
The Book goes into preservation mode: viewable and exportable, free, forever. Deleting your account actually deletes it — including backups, within 35 days.
