EVERY CHILD IS DIFFERENT

One size does not fit all.

One-size parenting controls do not work because one-size children do not exist. Your child has their own personality, interests, challenges, and level of maturity. SafetyMode adjusts to all of it.

WHAT THE RESEARCH SAYS

No universal effects

Adolescents differ vastly in their capacity to manage online experiences. No single digital diet works for every child.

APA, 2021

Child temperament matters

Children respond to the same content differently based on temperament and maturity, not age alone.

Journal of Adolescence, 2019

Tailoring is protective

Tailoring controls to the specific child is a proven protective factor for their wellbeing.

University of Bath, 2022

Autonomy builds growth

Adjusting controls as children develop fosters autonomy and better digital citizenship.

Jeff Bonnie et al, 2021

SafetyMode features the most customisable smartphone parental controls available anywhere.

Slang, trends and problem ideas change constantly, and some are more concerning than others. Add words that matter for your child, not children in general.
Pause blockers on sites you trust. Block ones you don't. Update as they grow.
Nothing goes on the device if it's not personally downloaded by the parent.
Different app sets for school nights, weekends, homework time and sleep. Built around their actual life.

A PHONE BUILT AROUND YOUR CHILD

Some example configurations.

Music-obsessed latch-key kid

The music-obsessed latch-key kid

Set it up as a music player that can call Mum and track them between home and school, everything else locked until you're home from work.

The curious coder

The curious coder

After homework, coding, AI and research apps unlock with strict content filters on. Exploration within a safe boundary and technology as a creative tool rather than a distraction.

The introverted young artist

The introverted young artist

Sunday afternoons: social apps off, art and design apps on until dinner. Protected creativity time scheduled automatically, no reminding needed.

Children with health needs

Children with health needs

Health-tech apps (e.g. diabetes monitors, condition trackers) set to always available. Social and gaming apps either time-limited or access-limited. Safety for every child.

Parenting tools, not just controls.
