Scams don't look like scams anymore. The text about a missed delivery. The call that says it's your bank. The grandchild who needs money right now and asks you not to tell anyone. They're written to work β€” and they work best on someone who's alone with them. Kept Safe gives your family somewhere to check. CHECK ANYTHING THAT FEELS OFF Paste a text or email, add a screenshot, or scan a QR code before you follow it. You get a plain-language answer in seconds: what it looks like, why, and what to do next. No jargon, no score out of ten. SOMEONE CALLED YOU? Answer a few short questions about the call and get a read on it β€” including the ones that impersonate a bank, a government agency, or a family member in trouble. NOBODY HAS TO DECIDE ALONE Add the people you trust to your Circle. When something dangerous arrives, they're told β€” so a scam becomes a conversation instead of a decision made alone at the kitchen table. A FAMILY SAFE WORD Agree on a word only your family knows. If a caller claims to be your grandchild and can't produce it, you have your answer. It stays inside your family's account and is never sent anywhere else. LEARN THE PATTERNS Short videos on the scams actually being run right now: the grandparent scam, government impersonation, tech support, gift card demands, package delivery texts, bank alerts, romance scams, prize and lottery scams, verification codes, and how to spot a fake website. WHEN SOMETHING HAS ALREADY HAPPENED Step-by-step guides for the worst moments β€” money already sent, an account taken over, or a teenager being blackmailed over photos. Written to be followed while you're panicking. BUILT FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY Kept Safe is for the person being targeted and for the adult children who worry about them. Everyone gets the same app. Nobody gets a "senior mode." WE'LL TELL YOU WHEN WE'RE NOT SURE We lean toward caution. No tool catches everything β€” so if something still feels wrong after we've looked at it, trust that feeling and check with someone you trust. Kept Safe is an auto-renewable monthly subscription. Plans cover 1, 4, or 6 people. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and your Apple Account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the period ends. Manage or cancel your subscription in your Apple Account settings after purchase. Any unused portion of a free trial is forfeited when a subscription is purchased.
