You have maybe two minutes before the next thing starts. That is not a problem. That is the whole design.
What you actually get
What you get when you open it
One focused page on your child's current stage — not a library to browse, not a course to finish.
A single concrete thing to try today, based on your child's age.
No account required to start. No steps between you and the information.

Compass opens on your child's stage. Not a general article. Not twelve modules. One page that says: this is what is likely going on for them right now, and here is one move worth trying today.
It is not a verdict on how you are doing. It is an orientation — the kind you would get from a friend who happened to know the research and had already read ahead for you.
Most dads open it in the morning before the house gets loud, or at night after a day that did not go the way they planned. Both work.
There is no lesson to complete, no progress bar to maintain, no next session scheduled. You open it, you read it, you have something to work with. That is it.
Compass is one surface inside Anchor. The app also has Repair — for the moment after you lost your temper and need the exact words to walk back in with. Both are free. Neither requires you to be anywhere on a parenting journey.
Straight answers
What dads ask before they try it
Is this going to tell me I'm doing it wrong?
No. It tells you what your kid's stage looks like from their side. That is information, not a grade.
Do I have to enter a lot about my kid before it works?
No. Your child's age is enough to get started.
Is this for a specific type of dad — like, one who is already into this stuff?
It was built for the dad who does not have time to be into this stuff. Two minutes, one thing to try. That is the full ask.
What if I open it and nothing in it fits my kid?
Every child is different and no app knows yours. Compass gives you the most likely picture for this age. Take what is useful, set aside what is not.
Is there a version that costs money or has more?
Free. Every feature is included.
I mostly need help after things go sideways — is this for that?
Anchor has Repair for exactly that moment. Compass is for regular days. Both are in the same app.
