Timmy's Blog: The technology behind the app
This is where we explain the technical choices behind Timmy, how security questions are evaluated, and why some product boundaries are deliberate.
- Security analysis, architecture, and product decisions in clear clusters
- Direct bridge between technical background and parent-facing guides
- Concrete sources and code references instead of generic trust language
From product thinking to architecture
Start with product and development stories
These posts explain how Timmy is built, why the browser companion exists, and which decisions shape the everyday product experience.
Then move into security and architecture
Technical posts explain how pairing, WebRTC, and the underlying system architecture support the calm user experience on the surface.
Switch to the guide hub for parent decisions
When technical questions turn into practical criteria, the guides continue the same topics from a parent perspective.
Use the blog for context and the guide hub for concrete parent decisions. The two areas are designed to complement each other, not repeat each other.
The blog is not a loose chronology anymore. It works as a topic hub so you can enter through product development, technology, or transparency and then move from there into matching guide topics.
Each cluster answers a different question: how Timmy is built, how its security architecture works, and which privacy choices shape the product.
Product & development
How Timmy is built and why the product surface looks the way it does
These posts explain the productive side of Timmy: the development process, the browser companion, and the choices that turn a technical idea into a usable family tool.

How Timmy protects connections, pairing, and media
This cluster holds the denser technical stories: WebRTC, signaling, secure pairing, and concrete security incidents that make architecture choices inspectable.

Why Timmy deliberately rejects black-box product logic
These posts connect product principles with architecture: open source, privacy in the nursery, and the idea that explainability is not optional marketing fluff.
Why Baby Monitor Apps Should Be Open Source
Trust starts with transparency. Why we make the code public.
