Transparent by design
There is always a Lantore icon in the tray. Your child sees what is monitored, and a log of the alerts sent about them. There is no hidden mode, and changes need your PIN.

Know when it matters.
Talk when it counts.
Lantore pays attention when your child is chatting or talking with others in a game, and speaks up only when something deserves your attention. Every alert shows why, and suggests what to say. Your child always knows it is there.
- Visible to your child, by design
- Reads only when your child takes part in a chat or voice session
- Nothing saved unless it is flagged
- Built around conversation
Our promise
Protection that your child can see, and you can trust
Most monitoring tools work in secret and send you a label. We think kids are safer when they know the rules and when parents get context, not just a scare.
Privacy-first
Lantore reads only while your child is taking part in a chat. It happens on the PC, names are replaced, and ordinary conversations are forgotten the moment they are checked. We never sell data, show ads, or train AI on your child's chats.
Conversation, not surveillance
Each alert explains why it was raised and offers ways to start a calm talk. Older teens get fewer alerts and less detail, because trust matters more than transcripts.
Made for PC gamers
Lantore reads the screen from the outside. It never injects into, hooks, or reads the memory of a game, so it stays out of the way of anti-cheat and keeps your child's accounts safe.
Alerts that show their work
Evidence you can check, wording you can use
A bare warning is hard to act on. Every Lantore alert comes with the short excerpt behind it, the reason in plain language, and optional screenshots from the moment it happened.
- A clear reason. "Asked her to move the chat to another app after a few personal questions," not just "grooming risk."
- Blurred by default. Screenshots stay blurred until you choose to look, and they expire after 30 days.
- What to say next. Conversation starters shaped by child-safety guidance, so your first words land well.
- Gentle with private topics. If the subject is personal, like identity or feelings, we soften the message and never suggest sharing it.
How it works
Three quiet steps, then it stays out of your way
- 1
Verified-parent setup
Confirm you are a parent or guardian, choose exactly what Lantore may do, and install it on your child's Windows PC together. Show them the icon and what it does.
- 2
It listens in, privately
Lantore reads only while your child takes part in a chat. It happens on the PC, only redacted text is checked, and anything ordinary is forgotten immediately.
- 3
You hear only when it matters
A calm alert with the reason, the excerpt and ways to start the talk. If a PC cannot be seen, we tell you instead of staying silent.
Not stalkerware
Your child is told. Always.
Software that hides on a device is spyware, and we will never build that. Lantore is installed openly on your own child's PC, it shows a permanent icon, and your child can open a window to see exactly what it monitors and which alerts were sent about them.
Quitting or uninstalling needs your parent PIN, so your child cannot switch it off on their own, but nothing about it is secret. If you want to monitor someone without their knowledge, or monitor another adult, Lantore is not for you.
Honest about limits
What we can see, and what we cannot
No tool sees everything, and we would rather you know where the gaps are than feel falsely reassured.
Lantore is built to see
- Chat text on screen in games and apps such as Roblox, Discord, Fortnite and Minecraft, while your child is taking part
- What your child types into those chats
- Optional voice chat while your child is speaking, turned into text on the PC, only if you turn it on
- Short, low-resolution screenshots around a flagged moment
Lantore cannot see
- Other players' chat when your child is not involved
- Phones, tablets and consoles (Windows only for now)
- Games that block screen capture, such as some exclusive-fullscreen modes. We warn you when a PC goes blind
- Images, video and voice notes shared inside chats
- Everything, perfectly. Expect some false alarms and some misses
Right-sized for their age
The older they get, the less you see
Privacy matters more as kids grow. Lantore adjusts what you see, and what your child is told, to their age.
Under 10
You see the flagged conversation with context. Closest supervision.
10 to 12
A summary and a short excerpt. Your child is told which topics Lantore watches.
13 to 15
Alerts for urgent and some serious concerns, with a minimal excerpt.
16 to 17
Only urgent or emergency concerns, with a minimal excerpt. Near-adult privacy.
Questions parents ask
Isn't this just spying?
Spying is secret. Lantore is the opposite: your child is told, sees a permanent icon, can open a window that lists what is monitored and which alerts were sent about them, and gets a say in the setup conversation. Older teens get much less detail on purpose.
Will you read all of my child's chats?
No. Lantore is engagement-first: it only reads chat or voice while your child is taking part (typing in a chat or speaking in a voice session) and for a few minutes afterwards. It does not read what other players say when your child is not involved, and typing outside chat, like documents, searches or passwords, is never captured. What it does read is handled on the PC by software, names and details are replaced, and ordinary conversation is forgotten as soon as it has been checked. We store a short excerpt only when something is flagged, and it is kept for up to 90 days (you can delete it sooner). No person at Lantore reads your child's conversations.
Will it get my child banned or break anti-cheat?
Lantore never injects into, hooks, or reads the memory of a game. It captures the screen from the outside, the way a screen recorder does. We cannot promise any game's rules never change, so we test game by game and will tell you plainly where something does not work.
Will it slow down games?
It is designed to be light: idle under about 3% CPU and under about 12% while reading chat on a typical mid-range PC. We are measuring this during the beta, so tell us if you notice anything.
Who can set Lantore up?
Only a parent or legal guardian. Setup asks you to confirm that, to agree to each thing Lantore may do (separately, with nothing optional switched on for you), and, where required, to complete a short verification with our verification partner. That verification shows an adult completed it for your email address; it cannot prove you are the child's parent, so we also ask you to attest it. Lantore is currently available in the United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand; see where.
What does it cost?
It is free while we are in beta. Paid plans are coming later and not final, so we have not published a price. Nothing is charged without you choosing a plan, and we will make cancelling a single click. More on pricing.
What about Mac, phones and consoles?
Windows is first. macOS and mobile are planned but not available, and we will not claim coverage we do not have.
Start with a calmer way to look out for them
Free during the beta. Set up takes about five minutes, and you will do it together with your child.
