THE DAILY EDIT
A quiet path through a green woodland

A slower way to spend Sunday

A simple walk can change the tone of your whole day. Without a schedule or a specific goal, it gives you space to notice what’s around you.

It’s an easy way to be more present, right where you are. A different route, a new street, or even a familiar trail can make the ordinary feel a little more interesting.

How MuteThis works
Does it filter my child’s phone or every app?

No. The current alpha works in desktop Chrome. It does not filter every app, private message, video or device, and it can miss upsetting content. It does not monitor children or stop them from turning filtering off.

Where does it work?

It works on supported text and still images on websites you choose in desktop Chrome. It does not cover every website, video or app. AI can miss unwanted content or hide something you wanted to see.

Is my browsing content sent to AI?

For topic rules, selected page text, images and your rules are sent through MuteThis to the chosen AI provider. That can include private content on signed-in pages. Word and phrase rules check text on your device without sending it for AI review.

Read the privacy details
What else should I check?

Start by trying it as an adult. Check age eligibility and privacy before child use, and keep adult support and reporting tools available.

Topic rules need a connected account and available AI checks. Word and phrase rules work on text without AI checks. MuteThis starts paused after installation; turn it on when you are ready.
