You shouldn't have to sit next to your kid every time they use Boop. But you should always know what happened. The Parent Portal gives you full visibility into every session — what they worked on, how long they were on, and exactly what was said.
PIN-protected. The Parent Portal is locked behind a 4-digit PIN that you set on first launch. Your child can't access it, reset it, or see what's inside. Three wrong attempts triggers a 30-second lockout.

How to Access
The Parent Portal lives in your system tray — the little icons at the bottom-right of your screen (Windows) or top-right menu bar (Mac). It's always one click away, never in your child's view.
Boop sits quietly in the background when your kid is using it. Right-click the tray icon to see the parent menu.
A separate window opens — completely independent from what your child sees. They won't know you're looking.
Set on first launch, only you know it. Three wrong attempts locks out for 30 seconds to prevent guessing.
Dashboard, screen time controls, conversation logs with TEKS tags, and parental controls. All in one window.
What You Can See
Not a summary, not a report card — the actual conversation. Every message between your child and Boop is logged with timestamps, subject tags, and the specific TEKS standard being worked on.
See if Boop is active right now, how long they've been on, what subject they're working on, and how many lollipops they've earned today.
Live status updates
Read every message — what your kid said, what Boop responded, which strategy it used, and which TEKS standard it referenced. Searchable by date and keyword.
Timestamped • Subject-tagged
Bar chart showing daily usage across the week. See patterns — are they using Boop more on certain days? Slacking on weekends? Consistent every night?
7-day lookback
Time spent per subject — Math, ELA, Science, Social Studies — with progress bars so you can see where they're spending their effort.
Per-session • Per-day
Today's count, total count, and what they earned them for. You'll know exactly when they hit a milestone so you can deliver the reward.
Per-behavior tracking
Every math problem, reading passage, and science question is tagged with the specific Texas standard it maps to. You can see exactly what curriculum is being covered.

What You Can Control
You decide how much screen time, when bedtime is, and what your child can access. Boop handles the enforcement — no arguments, no "five more minutes." When time's up, Boop gently winds down and says goodnight.
Set anywhere from 30 minutes to 8 hours in 30-minute increments. A progress bar turns yellow at 75% and red at 90%. When it hits 100%, Boop winds down the session.
Set a bedtime and wake time. Boop automatically locks at bedtime and unlocks in the morning. No negotiation — "Boop says it's bedtime" ends the debate.
Turn the webcam on or off entirely. When off, "look at this" and "scan me" commands are disabled. Your child is told "camera is turned off right now."
Standard keeps conversations age-appropriate and on-topic. Strict further limits what subjects Boop will discuss. Both prevent off-curriculum tangents.
Prevent Boop from launching specific apps by voice. If you don't want your kid saying "open YouTube" through Boop, add it to the block list.
One-tap "+30 min" button for when your kid is in the middle of an assignment and the timer is about to run out. Doesn't change the daily limit — just extends tonight.
All settings persist. Your configuration is saved locally at
~/.boop/boop_parent_settings.json.
No cloud account needed, no data leaves your computer, no subscription. Set it once
and it stays until you change it.
Your Data
Every conversation log, every setting, every lollipop count is stored on your computer in plain JSON files. Nothing is uploaded to the cloud. Nothing is shared with us or anyone else.
~/.boop/boop_parent_settings.json — PIN hash, child name, screen time limits, bedtime, content filter, blocked apps. One file, human-readable.
~/.boop/boop_logs/2026-02-13.jsonl — One file per day. Every message with timestamps, speaker, intent tags, and TEKS references. JSON Lines format — open it in any text editor.
No account required. Boop doesn't have user accounts, login screens, or email verification. There's no "Boop Cloud" and there never will be. Your child's homework conversations don't belong to us — they belong to you.
