30 cm safe distance
Fixed at 30 cm on the free plan. Premium lets you set anything from 20 to 50 cm.
For parents · Android 8.0+
Keep your child's eyes at a safe distance, without nagging.
JagaMata uses the front camera to estimate face distance. When your child gets too close, the screen dims and touch is blocked until they move back to a safe distance. Everything is processed on the phone, and the app has no internet access at all.

The real problem
Warnings are easy to ignore. A dimmed screen isn't.
A child absorbed in a video or game drifts closer to the screen without noticing, and a parent's reminder works for a few minutes at best. JagaMata doesn't just warn: it stops giving a usable screen until the distance is safe again. Children learn on their own, without the argument.

Simple
How it works
- Step 01
Set up once
Allow camera access and display over other apps, then set a PIN so only a parent can change the settings.
- Step 02
Runs in the background
JagaMata works on top of YouTube, games or any other app. The front camera estimates face distance continuously, right on the phone.
- Step 03
Dims when too close
When a face stays closer than the safe distance (30 cm by default), the screen dims and touch is blocked. Move back a little, and the screen clears as soon as a safe distance is detected.
What you get
Built for homes with children
Every feature answers two questions parents ask: can my child get around it, and where does the data go?
20-20-20 eye breaks
After every 20 minutes of continuous use, a 20-second break screen asks your child to look far away. There is no skip button.
7-day report
See how often your child got too close each day, and for how long. It all stays on the phone.
Parent PIN
Stopping monitoring, lowering the distance or switching profiles all need a 4-digit PIN. Your child can't turn it off on their own.
No internet access
The app does not request Android's internet permission, so it cannot send anything off the phone.
A profile for each childPremium
Separate calibration for every child, because a 4-year-old's face and a 10-year-old's face are not the same size.
Also included
- Warning when the room is too dark
- Optional zikir during eye breaks
- Camera pauses when the screen is off
- Reminder to resume monitoring after the phone restarts
Privacy
A camera that never sends anything

- No internet permission, which you can check yourself in the app's permission list
- No ads, analytics or accounts
- App data stays on the phone and is excluded from cloud backup
- Purchases are handled entirely by Google Play

Frequently asked questions
Can't find your answer? Email us directly.
hello@sasateguh.comDoes JagaMata record or store photos of my child?
No. Camera frames are analysed in the phone's memory and discarded immediately. No photo, video or face template is stored, and the app has no internet permission to send one anywhere.
Can my child turn it off?
Not without the PIN. With the parent PIN enabled, stopping monitoring, lowering the safe distance or switching profiles all require it. The break screen has no skip button either.
Does it work while watching YouTube or playing games?
Yes. JagaMata runs as a foreground service and shows its reminder over other apps, using Android's "display over other apps" permission.
How accurate is the distance estimate?
JagaMata estimates distance from the size of the face in the camera frame. It is an estimate, not a medical measurement. For better results, calibrate your child's profile at 30 cm and 50 cm, since every child's face is a different size.
What happens when the screen turns off?
The camera stops and the break countdown pauses. Monitoring resumes when the screen comes back on. After the phone restarts, JagaMata shows a notification so you can resume monitoring with one tap.
Which phones are supported?
Android 8.0 or newer with a front camera. The app is in Bahasa Melayu and English. On Android 13 or newer you can pick the app's language in its Settings, separately from the phone.
Is JagaMata a medical device?
No. JagaMata helps build better screen-distance habits, but it does not diagnose or treat any eye condition. See an optometrist for your child's eye check-ups.
How do I cancel Premium?
In Google Play: tap your profile icon, choose Payments & subscriptions, then Subscriptions, select JagaMata and tap Cancel subscription.
Give your child's eyes the distance they need.
Install JagaMata, set a PIN, and let the screen do the reminding. You don't have to anymore.
