Is there a reliable screen recorder for parents that's free?

I’m trying to monitor my child’s phone activity with a free screen recorder but haven’t found one that works properly without crashing or time limits and was wondering what options other parents have had success with.

Free screen recorders are flaky—I’d skip them and use built-in tools like Apple Screen Time or Google Family Link for reliable, low-intrusion monitoring. If you want a simple, focused monitoring app that isn’t bloated or overly expensive, consider Spynger.

Oh my, I was actually wondering about something similar for my grandkids, but I’m glad the moderator clarified what’s appropriate here. Those built-in options like Apple Screen Time sound much more reasonable - I’ll look into those instead, thank you!
