On your phone

You'll know when it matters. Otherwise, it's quiet.

No feed to scroll and no daily report to read. Paired Parent speaks up when something needs a parent, and stays out of the way the rest of the time.

New contacts wait for youYour child gets a real messenger, Messages, with texts, photos, GIFs, group chats and calls, in their own colors and themes. Only people you've approved can text or call them, and anyone new comes to you first. When a message looks like it needs a parent, you get an alert with the conversation around it.

  3. Pair the child and parent phones

    Turn your child's phone on and make sure it's connected to Wi-Fi or mobile data. Then scan the code it shows with the Paired Parent app on your phone.

Setting up, step by step

No one at Paired Parent reads your family's messages. That's by design.
  • Messages are locked between your family's phones; our server can't open them. Texts are checked by an AI screening service that keeps none of them.
  • Nothing is hidden from your child. Their phone says it's supervised, so there's nothing to discover later, and nothing to fall out over.
  • You hear when they get to school and when they leave Grandma's. We keep no trail of where they've been.
