Safeinest Connect

Safeinest Connect is the half of Safeinest that lives on your child's iPhone. A parent installs Safeinest: Parental Control on their own phone, this app goes on the child's, and a one-time code pairs the two. Everything it does, it does openly. Your child can always see what is switched on. WHAT YOUR CHILD GETS • Family chat: message the people looking after them, any time. This app is never blocked, so they can always reach you. • Family calls: a voice call home from inside the app, no phone number needed, that rings through on a locked phone. • Family SOS: one button tells the family something is wrong, and where they are. • Ask for extra time: a request with a reason, which a parent can allow or decline. • Earn-time tasks: finish a chore or homework a parent set, and earn bonus minutes. • A daily mood check: one tap to say how today feels. • The Safeinest Browser: SafeSearch always on, and a calm page instead of a blocked site. • Their own word for their parent, and the whole app in their own language. WHAT A PARENT SETS FROM THEIR OWN PHONE • App limits by kind, such as games or social media, applied through Apple's Screen Time. • Block now: pause apps in one tap, and unblock just as fast. • Bedtime and school hours: apps rest on a schedule, judged by this phone's own clock. • Live location: shared only while a parent has it switched on, and the child sees it on screen the whole time. • Safe zones and no-go areas: the parent hears when the phone arrives, leaves, or enters a marked place. HONEST ABOUT WHAT IT CANNOT DO We would rather you trusted us than be surprised later. • Nothing here runs in secret. The child is told what is on. • It does not read messages, typing, photos, or what is inside other apps. Apple does not allow it, and we do not try. • Limits run through Apple's own Screen Time (Family Controls). Your child's app choices stay private on their device. • There is no removal lock on an iPhone today. If the app is deleted, the parent is told that the phone has gone quiet. FOURTEEN LANGUAGES English, Spanish, Chinese, Hindi, Arabic, French, Portuguese, Russian, Urdu, German, Italian, Bengali, Polish, and Japanese. Light and dark looks. NO ADS, NOTHING TO BUY This app is free and has no ads, no tracking, and no purchases. It needs a Safeinest account on a parent's phone. THIS APP NEEDS THE PARENT APP Safeinest Connect pairs with "Safeinest: Parental Control" on a parent's phone. On its own, it will only ask to be connected to a family. https://safeinest.com Privacy Policy: https://safeinest.com/privacy
