Child Safety — on this device. Weather-aware. Calm, not chaos.

Edistence runs directly on the child’s device: sound awareness, a live weather band, and a single child marker on the map. No parent account, no cloud tracking—just a clear HUD you own.

Appraisals — on autopilot. Evidence-aware. Automated, not burdensome.

Edistence runs directly on the observer’s device: timestamped notes, rubric tags, and export-ready summaries in one clean workflow. No shared recorders, no third-party uploads—just an appraisal autopilot you control.

Open Safety HUD Use Appraisal Tool
On-device No cloud Family-safe
Sound Safe

On-device mic awareness that watches for spikes like sirens and glass breaks.

Rain & thunder

Warning mode paints rain and lightning flashes over the child’s map zone.

Snow watch

Watch mode dusts the map with snow over the same child location.

Alert radius

The radius around the child turns blue for watches and red for warnings on the map.

Child Safety HUD

This mock HUD shows how Edistence would run on a child’s device: the mic, the weather band, and a single child dot share the same space—no second parent pin, no login.

Sound Safe
If you don’t grant mic access, a gentle mock sound loop keeps the HUD alive. If you do, the child’s zone responds to your real environment.
Weather band
A background timer rotates bands automatically. These buttons override the band instantly so you can see each state.
Demo notes
Everything you see here runs inside this browser tab only: the child dot, alert rings, snow/rain overlay, and simulated sound all stay local.
Child map view
One child marker, one alert radius, and live weather overlays—no parent pin.
Legend Child device (demo)
Sound alert samples (visual demo)
These buttons briefly drive the mic HUD and child radius as if that sound happened near the device.
This is a live Leaflet map running locally. Real deployments would stream the child device’s location through your chosen datastore and update the same view.

For Families — what parents actually see

Status, not surveillance

Parents see calm status tiles, not a live mic or camera feed.

  • Sound level: Quiet / Room / Spike
  • Weather band: Normal / Watch / Warning
  • Location zone: In / outside safe radius
When you get notified

Alerts only fire when thresholds you chose are crossed.

  • Severe weather enters child’s zone
  • Repeated high sound spikes in a short window
  • Optional: child leaves your chosen safe radius
What stays on the device

Edistence is designed to be “private by default” for families.

  • No raw audio recordings by default
  • No camera streaming or screenshots
  • No access to texts, DMs, or social media

Automated Instructional Appraisal

Load your rubric, record timestamped evidence, and export a clean summary. Designed for frameworks like TTESS, but fully local to your device.

Load rubric
Demo auto-loads a 7th grade science rubric with three dimensions. Upload your own CSV/JSON to replace it. Keywords in your rubric drive the auto-rating.
Timestamped evidence
Uses the browser’s speech recognition (where available). No audio leaves your browser.

    Rating rubric — 7th Grade Science
    Overall: —
    Move sliders from 1 (Beginning) to 4 (Advanced). Uploading a rubric replaces these dimensions; the auto-rate button uses that rubric’s keywords.
    Overall rating: set at least one slider to see the summary.
    Auto-rate summary will appear here after you run the rubric demo.

    Parent Mode vs School Mode

    One platform, two perspectives. Families get calm status and clear alerts. Campuses get structured evidence and rubric-ready reports.

    Parent Mode School Mode

    Parent Mode (Families)

    Runs quietly on the child’s device and surfaces only what families need to know — sound, weather, and an optional safe-radius view.

    • Child-side HUD with sound + weather awareness
    • One child dot and alert radius on the map
    • Parents see status and alerts, not raw mic or camera feeds
    • Export simple logs for your own records (optional)

    Designed for “calm by default”: most days it simply glows green and stays out of the way.

    School Mode (Campuses & Districts)

    Gives observers an on-device console for walkthroughs and appraisals — with rubrics, timestamped evidence, and exportable reports.

    • Load campus or district rubrics (CSV / JSON)
    • Capture timestamped evidence and quick notes
    • Run auto-rating based on rubric keywords
    • Export summaries to PDF, Sheets, or your SIS ecosystem

    Keeps appraisal artifacts under district control while staying aligned with FERPA and confidentiality expectations.

    FAQ

    Core signals (mic loudness, weather band, on-screen HUD) run on the device. When you choose to export, data goes only to the destination you configure (for example, Google Sheets or a secure district drive) with your consent. No hidden background uploads.

    No. The Safety HUD is status-only. It measures loudness locally (quiet / room / spike) and shows a simple sound state.
    • No raw audio files are stored.
    • No full conversation transcripts are created.
    • No mic data is sent to a server from the HUD alone.

    Yes, when a school turns it on, the Appraisal Tool can record the full observation session for transcription and evidence.
    • Audio (and optionally video) is captured on the observer’s device.
    • Transcripts are generated to align evidence with rubric domains.
    • Files are saved only to the storage you configure (for example, a district drive or secure folder).
    The Safety HUD and the Appraisal Tool are separate: families see calm status and alerts, while campuses can opt in to richer recordings for instructional feedback.

    The demo accepts campus or district rubrics as CSV or JSON. It lists your domains, pulls in your descriptors, and uses your keywords to auto-tag portions of the transcript. Rubrics stay editable so you can tune the language over time.

    What Edistence sees in Safety HUD

    Signals stay close to the device and are designed to be minimal, clear, and actionable.

    • Mic loudness as decibels (quiet / room / spike)
    • Weather alerts for the child’s current zone
    • Approximate safe-radius zone (not turn-by-turn tracking by default)
    What Edistence sees in the Appraisal Tool

    For walkthroughs and observations, the Appraisal console can intentionally capture:

    • Lesson audio (and optional video) during an observation window
    • Time-stamped notes and scores tied to rubric domains
    • Structured exports for reports and archives
    What Edistence never sees by default

    Edistence is not a spy tool. It is an awareness and appraisal layer that leaves private content alone.

    • No secret recording outside of clearly indicated observation sessions
    • No access to photos, personal messages, or app content on the child’s device
    • No direct hooks into social media, DMs, or full browser history

    Edistence adds signals for families and schools — it never replaces emergency services, local protocols, or active adult supervision.

    In family mode, demo data can stay local to the browser until you clear it. In school and district deployments, retention follows your policy: observations, transcripts, and exports live in the storage systems you configure — not on a shared Edistence server by default.
