Parental controls — Made in the UK, used worldwide
Pair your child’s phone, then set app limits and a bedtime window, message or call them, and see where they are — from your phone, after one quick setup on theirs. Calm, private, and honest about what phone controls can and can’t do.

What you get
You decide what the device can do. Your child's device applies it — Apple's Screen Time on an iPhone, Safeinest's own pause screen on Android.
On Android, their phone checks arriving messages itself — in chat apps and even in game chats — and alerts you to bullying, grooming or self-harm talk. You get a short redacted preview, never the conversation, and the child always knows it is on. A smoke alarm, not a guarantee — and English words for now.
Scan a QR code on your child’s phone to link it — no fiddly accounts on their end.
Allow the essentials; after a one-time setup on their device, pause social, games, video and more with a tap — plus per-app daily limits on Android.
Pause the apps you cover in one tap — from your phone or your Apple Watch — for dinner or homework, and set the hours they should rest overnight.
A calm family chat and voice calls that keep working even when everything else is paused — so you can always reach each other.
Turn it on to see where their phone is — plus safe zones that tell you when they arrive at school or home, and no-go areas that tell you the moment they enter somewhere they should not be.
A whole-day screen-time allowance, limits for single apps, and tasks your child can finish to earn extra minutes — plus a screen-time report from Android phones.
An age, not a birthday. An alias, not a name. Built around the UK Children's Code, and honest about each platform's limits.
How it works
Honest by design
Message safety is live on Android — their phone checks arriving messages itself and alerts you; English words for now. iMessage is an iPhone app, so it can never be checked. Read the FAQ →
