Description of Services & HoverMother

App4That Holdings is a digital product studio and publisher. Our flagship digital wellbeing product is HoverMother, an intelligent parenting assistant designed for Apple iOS, iPadOS, and Web. HoverMother provides transparent, parent-approved digital wellness tools built upon Apple's official frameworks:

• Screen Time & Downtime: Enforces healthy screen time boundaries, category quotas, and bedtime schedules using Apple's official FamilyControls and ManagedSettings frameworks, including custom shield overlays with "Ask for More Time" requests.
• Web Content Filter: Automatically blocks adult web domains using Apple's native Screen Time content filtering engine.
• On-Device Usage Reports & Opaque Tokens: Device activity is computed privately on the child's device using Apple's DeviceActivityReport extension and opaque ApplicationToken identifiers. Raw browsing histories, search queries, and per-app logs never leave the child's device.
• Opt-In Shared Location: Optional check-in location shared by the child with the family, with arrival/departure notifications for parent-configured safe places (e.g., home, school). Location records are retained for no more than 30 days.
• Ask to Buy Reminders: Promotes parent-approved in-app purchases and App Store downloads via native Apple Family Sharing. No banking credentials, credit card details, or financial accounts are ever collected or scraped.
• MOTHER AI Parenting Assistant & Slang Translator: An educational parenting assistant and teen slang translator powered by Google Cloud Vertex AI (Gemini) with affirmative parent consent. No child Screen Time telemetry is ever sent to AI.

HoverMother is designed exclusively to be configured and held by parents and legal guardians (aged 18+). Children do not create accounts, log in, or interact with HoverMother directly.
