Less Screentime, Better Screentime.
It's not just how long they're online.
It's what they're doing there.
SafetyMode helps parents shape the quality of their child's screen time, not just the quantity. Because not all screen time is created equal.
THE RESEARCH
Quality over quantity
Across 350,000+ adolescents, total screen time explained less than 0.5% of differences in wellbeing. Active, creative and social screen use has very different effects from passive scrolling; context matters more than total hours.
Orben & Przybylski, Psychological Science, 2019
Technology is an asset
Children report that being online increases their confidence, creativity and sense of empowerment when supported well. The goal is to shape it, not ban it.

HOW OTHERPHONE HELPS
Curate their day online, down to the hour
Combine SafetyMode's content blocking with app scheduling to build a daily structure that prioritises the right kind of screen time at the right moment. Remove, block or flag low-quality content automatically. Open up creativity and learning when it matters. Let the phone reflect your values, not the algorithm's.
