An application called Young Minds wants to give parents to control what their children are doing online while protecting their children’s privacy and teach them good habits online.
The start was founded by Nino Dvalidze (image), businessman and mother two from the United Kingdom. Dvalidze told TechCrunch that the idea of young minds came from talks with fellow parents, who are also concerned about how to keep their children safe while at the same time allowing them to access the internet, which, as they admitted, is “extremely useful”.
Dvalidze explained that the young minds, which will be presented at the Battlefield Startup on TechCrunch Disrupt 2025, have two versions: Parenting and the application of children. The former gives the latter specific control, allowing parents to create time limits, limit certain content, but not the ability to monitor all communications on their children’s devices. Disorder Routes 27 to 29 October in San Francisco.
“We make security as a minimum foundation,” Dvalidze said in a phone call. “We have to make sure that nothing that is intended for young eyes can reach them.”
But the app is also designed to teach children because some content is blocked or because something is highlighted as dangerous. Dvalidze said the application scans the use of the child’s tablet or phone with AI to detect and signal potentially harmful content, but the company does not store user data. Parents can also use an in -app chatbot to train themselves about the potential dangers of certain sites or applications, he said.
Young minds are available on Android. The iOS version will start next week, but Dvalidze admits that due to iOS restrictions on what data applications can access from other applications, the version from Apple devices is a little different, though with “solutions”.
“We store some information with parents’ consent and analyze it,” he said, referring to a solution they use on iOS.

In terms of screening of screen time, young minds can be adjusted to activate certain routines, as well as specific functions such as “Study Function”, which only allow training applications such as Duolingo or “Wind Down Mode”, which limit applications and use that could interfere with their sleep. Parents can customize these ways according to their needs and their children.
