CleoSocial's content ratings and time limits align with guidance on healthy social media use.
The honest answer has been 'nothing is really safe.' CleoSocial gives clinicians a concrete platform to recommend — one built around user agency rather than addiction.
Treating anxiety and depression without addressing the social media environment is treating symptoms. CleoSocial gives families a practical option at the source.
Research on social media and adolescent health is evolving fast. CleoSocial's design is grounded in current evidence from the APA, AAP, and peer-reviewed research.
Pediatricians and child psychologists are increasingly asked by families to recommend safe social media options. CleoSocial is built around principles those recommendations should include: content controls, screen time limits, and a design that doesn't exploit attention.
CleoSocial's content ratings and time limits reflect recommendations from the American Academy of Pediatrics and American Psychological Association.
Patients set their own content rating and time limits — building agency rather than dependence on external enforcement.
No engagement-maximizing algorithms, no infinite scroll, no dark patterns. The platform is designed to respect attention, not exploit it.
Our blog summarizes current research on social media and adolescent mental health — free for clinicians to reference and share with families.
"For the first time I have something concrete to recommend to families beyond 'monitor their phone.' CleoSocial actually implements the controls I've been telling parents to look for."
— Pediatric psychologist
