What a Family Admin can do

As a Family Admin (the parent or guardian who created the family account), you have a focused set of tools — designed for someone managing a household, not running an IT department.

  • Add family members — your spouse or co-parent, your kids (each with their own login), even grandparents who help with childcare
  • Set age-appropriate protections per person — younger kids get stricter rules; teens get more autonomy with monitoring
  • See activity at a household level — what suspicious links got blocked, who's practicing safe habits, family-wide trust score
  • Receive alerts for serious threats — if a family member encounters something genuinely dangerous (account-stealing phishing, malware site), you find out
  • Manage everyone's billing and subscription in one place

On family monitoring — our actual values
We grew up Catholic. We believe families are sacred, and that the parent-child relationship is built on trust, not surveillance. TSNC helps you protect your kids without turning into a keylogger. The monitoring features show you patterns and threats, not transcripts. Read the Monitoring Kids Safely guide before you turn anything on — it explains exactly what each setting does and doesn't reveal.

What a Family Admin cannot do

  • Read your kids' private messages. TSNC blocks dangerous links and reports patterns. It does not record DMs, texts, or content. We're not building a stalkerware product.
  • Track their location or activity. TSNC is a phishing-awareness and training tool, not a monitoring or parental-control product. Each member has their own private account.
  • Use TSNC at school. If your child's school uses TSNC, that's a separate account managed by their school. Family TSNC and school TSNC don't merge or share data.

Where to start

  1. 1
    Add yourself first
    Make sure your own profile is complete, you have MFA set up, and you've installed the browser extension. Get comfortable with TSNC yourself before adding the kids — you'll be the support staff.
  2. 2
    Add your spouse or co-parent
    Two adults on the family account is the right setup. Both can manage members, both get alerts, and you have a backup if one of you is unreachable.
  3. 3
    Add the kids one at a time
    Don't do it as a project on a Saturday afternoon. Add each kid when they ask why your other kid has it, or when something happens that prompts a conversation about online safety. The conversation is more important than the setup.
  4. 4
    Talk to your kids about what TSNC does
    Honest, age-appropriate conversation: "This is a tool that warns us about scams. It doesn't read your messages or watch what you do. It helps you spot tricks online." That framing builds trust; surveillance language destroys it.

The browser extension matters most

The single highest-impact thing you can do for your family's online safety: make sure everyone has the TSNC browser extension installed and enabled in their browser.

The extension is what actually warns about dangerous sites, blocks credential-phishing pages, and shows trust scores on emails. The dashboard is just where you see what happened. Without the extension, you're flying without instruments.

FAQ

Is TSNC a parental-control product?+
Not really, no. TSNC is a security product that happens to support families. We don't do screen-time limits, app blocking, or content filtering. If you want those, products like Bark or Qustodio are designed for it. TSNC is the layer underneath: when an actual phishing attack tries to steal your kid's account, we're the one that catches it.
Can I add a young child who doesn't have email?+
Yes — kids without email get a profile that's tied to their device(s) instead. They don't log in; the extension just protects them while they browse. As they get older and get email, you can promote their profile to a full account.
What if my teenager refuses to install the extension?+
Have the conversation. Tell them what TSNC does (warns about scams) and doesn't do (read their stuff). Most teens come around when they hear the truth, especially if they've had a friend who got their Roblox or Snapchat hacked. If they still refuse, you have a parenting decision, not a TSNC decision — we can't enforce it for you, and we'd rather you keep their trust than have us installed.
Does TSNC have a mobile app?+
Web-based dashboard works on phones, but the protective browser extension is desktop-only right now. iOS Safari and Android Chrome support are coming. For now, mobile devices benefit from TSNC's domain monitoring (we alert if your family's emails appear in a breach) but not the in-browser protection.
