Everything stays on this phone.

Lokie has no server. The game audio, the transcript and the report are created and stored only on the iPhone your child plays on. Neither we nor any other company can see them.

How it works

Lokie explains: one game session, start to finish

  1. 1 · SESSION

    Set the rules together

    Choose a mode: restrictions only, game chat only, or both together. Pick the games that stay open and the time, then hand the phone to your child to start.

    First we set the rules together. Which game, and for how long?
  2. 2 · PLAY

    The audio stays on this device

    iPhone asks for recording permission every time. Lokie only captures the game audio and keeps it on the phone. If the microphone is on, recording does not start.

    I don't record the microphone. Conversations in the room never reach me, only the game.
  3. 3 · REPORT

    The conversation is transcribed on the phone

    When the session ends, the audio is turned into text on the device. The report groups flagged phrases by topic and shows where they occurred.

    I work without sending anything to the internet. The report exists only on this phone.
  4. 4 · FINDING

    The phrase, its context and a clip

    Each finding comes with its topic, a context note and, where available, a few seconds of audio. Transcripts can be wrong; listen and judge for yourself.

    I flag a phrase; you find out what it meant by talking with your child.
  5. 5 · TIME'S UP

    The lock lasts until you end it

    When time runs out, the chosen apps stay restricted. Your child taps "Ask a parent" and you end the session in Lokie with Face ID.

    The lock doesn't open by itself. A parent has the last word.
Sample finding

Listen to a finding

In real reports, a few seconds of audio sit next to the transcript, so you can check whether the automatic text is right and hear the tone. That audio never leaves the phone either. The sample here is a fictional AI-generated voice.

Personal information

“Can you write me your home address?”

A request for an address appears under this topic. On its own it doesn't show the person's intent. (The app shows phrases in Turkish.)

Awareness

What do kids run into in game chat?

Voice and text chat in games is often fun. But children can also meet adults they don't know and language that isn't right for their age. The seven topics in a Lokie report follow these risks.

Insults and abuse

Insults after a loss, mocking and exclusion. Repeated often, a child may start to see this language as normal.

What you can do: Ask about what they heard without judging; talk about which game and who it came from.

Sexual content

Sexual language that is not age-appropriate, or adults trying to win trust and encourage secrets.

What you can do: Say ahead of time: "If something makes you uncomfortable, you can tell me. I won't be angry."

Threats and pressure

Scaring, forcing and blackmail: "Do it or I'll steal your account", "I'll show everyone".

What you can do: Teach them not to do what a blackmailer asks, to keep the messages, and to come to you.

Personal information

Requests for address, school, phone number or photos.

What you can do: Make a list together of what is never shared.

Money and accounts

Requests for passwords or game accounts; "free in-game currency" scams.

What you can do: Agree that account details are never shared and purchases are made with you.

Contact and privacy

Moving the chat to another app, asking to keep it secret, or suggesting meeting up.

What you can do: Ask them to check with you before joining someone from a game on another app.

Self-harm

Phrases that encourage self-harm, or a child describing their own difficult feelings.

What you can do: Stay calm and listen; if you remain worried, get support from the school counselor or a professional.

Talking with your child

A report isn't a verdict, it's a conversation starter

  • Tell them first

    Talk about the session and recording before they play. Secret monitoring damages trust.

  • Ask without blaming

    Start with "What does this mean, how did it make you feel?" Hearing a word doesn't mean they said it.

  • Set rules together

    Which games, how long, who they can talk to: include your child in the decisions.

If you face something serious

  • Keep the messages and username; take screenshots.
  • Block the person in the game and report them to the platform.
  • Report illegal content, threats or blackmail to the authorities in your country. In an emergency, call your local emergency number.

FAQ

Common questions

Where does the game chat audio go?

Nowhere. Audio, transcript and report are created and stored on the phone. Lokie has no server. Downloading Apple's Turkish language support the first time may need internet; that does not send your recordings.

Does Lokie record the microphone?

No. Lokie only receives the game audio the system provides. If the phone's microphone is on, recording does not start.

Do I need an account?

No. No sign-up, email or cloud account.

Does it manage my child's phone remotely?

No. Lokie works on the device it is installed on. If your child has their own device, install Lokie there and start the session on it.

Will it catch every risky conversation?

No. Game audio, noise and slang make transcription hard; some phrases will be missed and some may match wrongly. Treat the report as a way to start a conversation, not a verdict.

Which devices and languages?

Being prepared for iPhone and iPad. Game chat analysis is currently designed for Turkish conversations only.

Which games does it work with?

Apps that provide their audio to the device's recording system. Audio from some apps or the system may not be available.

Should I tell my child?

Yes, we recommend it. The in-app notice does not prove that other people in the chat know about or agree to the recording.
