Set it up once. Then just check in.
DTEX Family has two parts: a small app on your child’s computer, and the DTEX Family website you open on your phone or computer. Here’s how they fit together.
Create your family account
Sign up with your email, then add each child with their first name and birthday. You can add a photo too. If another adult helps look after your children, invite them as a co-parent.
- A birthday sets the words their computer uses and the checks DTEX AI makes
- Co-parents can see everything; you decide if they can change settings
Put DTEX Family on each child’s computer
On your child’s computer, open the download page and install DTEX Family. It asks for a 6-digit family code — you’ll find it in your account under Computers → Add a computer. The code works once, for a few minutes.
Tell DTEX Family who uses it
The new computer appears in your account. If each child has their own account on it, just pick the child. If the family shares one account, your children choose their name when they sign in — so everyone’s day stays separate.
Your child sees what’s recorded
A short notice explains exactly what DTEX Family does, in words for their age. The DTEX Family shield sits next to the clock; a click shows who they’re signed in as and lets them ask you for something.
Check in whenever you like
Open DTEX Family on your phone or computer to see today, answer requests and read notifications. It works in any modern web browser.

It looks after itself
Updates itself
DTEX Family runs quietly on your child’s computer and keeps itself up to date.
Protected by your parent code
Pausing or removing DTEX Family on the child’s computer needs your parent code.
Fine when offline
If the computer is offline for a while, it keeps its notes safely and sends them when it’s back.
Start with one computer.
Create your account, add a child and install DTEX Family on their computer. You can add the rest later.
