Advancify helps children improve their learning experience by monitoring and regulating study habits. Our advanced eye-tracking technology is specially designed to help children avoid fatigue, cognitive overload, lack of focus, and eye strain—all of which negatively impact learning efficiency. When our desktop app detects any of these conditions, it notifies children to take a break, revisit material, or refocus on their studies.
Ultimately, we help children learn faster, stay engaged, and reduce stress.
Our real-time eye-tracking technology monitors various eye parameters to identify cognitive patterns that negatively impact learning, such as:
- Fatigue
- Lack of focus
- Low engagement
- Cognitive overload
- Eye strain
As soon as one of these conditions is detected, we alert your child to:
- Take a rest
- Concentrate
- Repeat the material
- Get an alternative explanation (This feature is currently under development.)
By preventing these negative conditions, children stay engaged, energized, and motivated—leading to a more efficient and stress-free learning process.
Currently, we are the only platform that regulates and personalizes the learning process based on each student’s individual characteristics, significantly boosting learning efficiency.
Absolutely. We prioritize your security at Advancify. Our website is protected by SSL encryption, and all analyzed data is stored in a secure, encrypted database.
You can trust that your child’s data is safe with us.
The Child Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) was updated in 2013 by the FTC to adapt to the evolving internet. Originally passed in 1998, COPPA ensures that digital services do not use marketing tactics to target children under 13. To comply, if you add a child under 13 to our service, we require verifiable parental consent via a credit card during the onboarding process.
We do not share any personal information from your child’s account with third parties.
Occasionally, we may send a website URL to our classification service to determine whether it is a learning resource. This process involves non-personal data only—no personally identifiable information is ever shared.
We administer an initial test to understand each child’s personal learning characteristics. We then use this information to tailor and optimize their learning process.
We focus on learning-related activities but also identify other app categories (e.g., gaming, social media, messaging) to better understand your child’s overall digital habits.
We do not monitor in-app activities unless the app is specifically set as learning-related.
We identify learning content through our pre-trained AI integrated into the Desktop App.
You or your child can manage learning resources in the Desktop App (installed on your child’s PC) by going to Settings > Add or Remove Learning Resources. You will receive an email notification whenever the list of learning resources is updated
You can set or update an optimal home-learning schedule under Settings > Learning Settings in the Parent App.
We currently offer three types of notifications:
Current Eye Strain – Reminds the child to take a break and reduce eye strain.
Fatigue in Learning Session – Suggests a rest break to regain energy.
Distractions – Encourages the child to refocus on learning.
These notifications help your child maintain healthier study habits and stay engaged.
Occasionally, this may happen. If our local AI on your child’s PC fails to recognize a particular website as a learning resource, we can send the website’s URL to a third-party AI for further classification. Sometimes, inaccuracies occur, especially if the website is not widely recognized or lacks sufficient web annotations.
To remove an old or duplicate device, open Add or Remove Devices in the Settings menu of the Parent App and follow the prompts. Currently, only one PC per child can be monitored.
Currently, we support English.
If your child uninstalls Advancify, you will receive an immediate notification.

The Daily Eye Strain Index indicates how much eye strain your child has experienced during the current day.
If your child spends extended periods in front of screens without breaks, the index will be higher.
Current Eye Strain refers to the level of eye strain at this very moment.
Harmful categories represent types of apps or activities that cause the most eye strain throughout the day (e.g., highly stimulating games, excessive social media use, etc.).
A learning session is any period during which our system detects your child viewing learning-related content on their PC.
Learning balance indicates how your child manages and balances time between digital activities and learning, taking into account factors like time management, scheduling, and eye strain.
The Engaged Rate reflects how involved and attentive your child was during various learning sessions. We also break it down by subject. A higher number means your child was more engaged.
Prioritization measures how effectively your child organizes and manages homework or study tasks alongside other digital activities, showing their ability to balance and manage time effectively.
To help establish good study habits, you can define an optimal period for home learning in Settings > Learning Settings within the Parent App. You can then track your child’s study habits during the time frames you set.
The Learning Quality Index indicates how diligently and attentively your child studied during the day, summarizing overall performance and focus levels.
Deep Learning is determined by our algorithms and shows periods of high concentration and focus during a learning session.
Our Learning Points briefly indicate how effectively your child has learned. They’re determined by multiple factors such as study time and engagement.
The higher the points, the more time and/or more engaged your child was in learning today.
No extra hardware is required beyond a standard webcam, which most computers already have. Our app automatically detects your webcam and requests permission to use it. Once granted, eye tracking will work automatically.
Our eye tracking operates during all learning sessions and intermittently switches on for short periods to check the current eye strain level.
No. We do not record or save any video from the PC’s webcam. Our eye-tracking technology only monitors your child’s eyes to detect fatigue, eye strain, or lack of focus. All data is processed locally on your child’s PC. We do not store or transmit any video data to our servers or third parties. Your child’s digital privacy is extremely important to us.
Yes. You may revoke the permission granted to the webcam at any time. However, Advancify’s features and services will not be available until you allow webcam access again.
Not at all! You or your child can easily set up and connect your devices to Advancify in just a few minutes.

You can reset or change your password from the Change Password option in Settings, or via the login page if you’ve forgotten your password.
Currently, you can’t change the email address linked to an existing account. If you want to use a different email address, you must create a new account.
