Description

Just My Kids monitors WhatsApp groups, downloads incoming media, runs face detection/recognition against user-provided reference images, and sends notifications to configured destinations when matches exceed configured thresholds. It reduces notification noise by only alerting parents for photos containing their children and supports common image formats and multiple kids. The project uses an included Go-based WhatsApp bridge and a Python face detection service, and is configurable via a single JSON config file.
