Mission
To create safe, ad-free, and dopamine-free digital apps for our kids.
Parents in Tech is an open-source community working in the GitHub organization. The mission sets the standard for what gets built and how the community contributes.
Open repos, open contribution
The GitHub organization is where the work lives. Anyone aligned with the mission can contribute through issues, pull requests, docs, design, and testing.
Contributions that fit real life
Parents contribute in practical increments. Good open-source habits, clear docs, and scoped pull requests matter as much as ambitious ideas.
