One sign-in. Every kid. Every project.

Family overview.

The first thing you see when you sign in. A glanceable summary: how many kids are enrolled, how many projects are in flight, how many are live, what was active in the last 48 hours, and your current AI add-on usage if you’re subscribed.

This is the page you open when somebody asks you "how’s the kid’s project going?" and you want the honest answer in twenty seconds. It is not a metrics dashboard — the numbers are concrete (three projects, two live, four AI requests this week), not aggregated or normalized.

Per-kid view.

Click a kid’s name and you get their corner of the household. Everything specific to them, with no bleed from siblings.

• What they’re working on now. Current project, last edit time, the screenshot of where they left off.
• Recent badges. Which transparency quests they’ve completed and which AI-literacy moments they’ve hit. Useful for the "wait, when did they figure that out" parent reflex.
• Level + XP progression. The studio levels up by what the kid actually does. The view shows their current rank and what unlocks next.
• Time spent today / this week. Cumulative; respects the daily-cap setting you put in parental controls.
• Recent publish history. Every approved publish, with the URL and the publish date.

Approval queue.

The thing that wakes you up. When a kid asks to publish a project, the request lands here. Each item shows:

• Which kid asked.
• Which project + version.
• A one-line summary of what changed since the last approved version (Inkie writes it; you read it).
• An Approve & review button that opens the project inside a read-only review shell — you can play / read / watch but you cannot edit by accident.
• A Deny button that returns the project to the kid with optional feedback.

The same approval is also emailed to you, with a 30-minute review link. The email path and the dashboard path are interchangeable — some parents prefer one, some the other.

Published projects.

A list of every URL your household has ever published, sorted by most recent. For each:

• The URL (clickable, opens in a new tab).
• The publish date.
• A "plays / reads / views" counter (lightweight, no profiling — just a tally).
• An Unpublish button that takes the URL down within a few minutes.

Published projects stay live as long as the household account is active or until you unpublish. You can also email hello@tellandshow.ai to ask for a takedown if the dashboard is unavailable.

Safety log.

The per-kid audit trail. Lives under each kid’s view. Captures blocks, not the full transcript — the kid’s day-to-day creative chat stays private to them. Full mechanics at /parents/safety.

Each row shows:

• Timestamp.
• Category (one of the nine).
• Direction (child-to-AI, AI-to-child, or publish).
• Rating in effect at the time.
• A redacted excerpt of the offending content (PII replaced with [phone] / [email]).

You cannot edit individual log entries. The log clears when you delete the kid profile. The log retains the most recent 50 events per kid.

Account & billing.

The boring-but-necessary corner. Tracks active on your account, AI add-on status (off / monthly / yearly), kid profiles enrolled, sibling licenses purchased, and the full billing history from Stripe.

• Tracks active: Game / Story / Site / Movie chips with a visual indicator of which you own.
• AI add-on: on, off, next-renewal date, and a "cancel" link if you want to stop future billing.
• Kid profiles: add, rename, retire. Sibling-license purchase happens here when you add the second or third kid.
• Billing history: Stripe-backed list of every charge with downloadable receipts.
• Support contact: a real-person email link with your account context pre-filled.

Parental controls.

The configuration panel that turns every knob described at /parents/controls. Lives in the dashboard so it’s never more than a click away. Settings are per kid; you tune one kid without affecting another.

First-run shows a short wizard that walks you through the four most-tuned controls (session cap, daily cap, content rating, notification preferences) so you don’t have to discover them.

How you access it.

Sign in at /studio with the email on your household account. We send a passwordless magic link; you tap it; you’re in. No password to remember; no third-party login required.

The dashboard works in any modern browser on any device — phone, tablet, laptop, desktop. The Mac desktop app surfaces it inside a native window. Approval emails open the same surface in your browser.

You can add a co-parent: invite a second email from the dashboard. Both adults share approval rights, see the same queue, and see the same safety log. Co-parent invites are free.
