What is Guardlight?
Guardlight is a self-hosted media content analysis platform that helps you evaluate content like eBooks, movies (via scripts and screenplay) and music (via lyrics). It scans your content based on specified themes, topics or word lists and provides insights tailored to your values and needs.
Motivation
As a Christian, the type of content that I consume are important to me and my family. While many books, movies, series and lyrics come with content warnings, these often focus on general themes like violence, general language, and other warnings and don't always tell the full story and may not cover deeper concerns such as religious mockery or misrepresentation of values. I wanted a tool that could analyze media or any written content and highlight elements that matter to me and my family.
Guardlight was born out of that need to help my family make informed decisions about the media they consume and I know others do too. Guardlight is designed to do just that.
