SSafeFeed
✦ 30 days free — no credit card required

Get SafeFeed

Two apps to install — one on your phone, one on your kid's device. Android right now; iOS soon. The first month is free, no card needed to sign up.

Android

SafeFeed isn't on the Play Store yet (we're in beta — it's coming). For now you'll install both apps directly from us. It's a one-time setup that takes about three minutes.

Download parent app (.apk) Download kid app (.apk)

APK download links go live during the public beta. Email me if you want early access.

iOS

Coming soon. Email hello@safefeed.app if you want a heads-up when TestFlight opens.

Installing on Android — step by step

Android won't let you install apps from outside the Play Store by default. You'll get one prompt asking "are you sure," you say yes, and then it works like any normal app. Here's the whole thing:

  1. Tap the parent app download button above

    It'll save a file called app-release.apk to your Downloads folder.

  2. Open your Files app, find the APK, tap it

    Android pops up a "For your security, your phone isn't allowed to install unknown apps from this source" message. Tap Settings on that prompt.

  3. Toggle "Allow from this source" ON

    This is a per-app permission — you're only allowing your Files app (or whatever you used to download) to install. You can flip it back off after.

  4. Hit Back, tap Install

    SafeFeed installs like any other app. Open it, sign up with email and password, add your kid, you're done. Takes about a minute.

  5. Repeat for the kid app on your kid's device

    Same steps. When the kid app opens for the first time it'll ask for the family code — the 6 digits the parent app showed you when you signed up.

Stuff that might confuse you

"Allow from this source" sounds scary

It's the same thing Android shows when you sideload Fortnite or any non-Play-Store app. We're not in the Play Store yet because we're still in beta — that's the whole reason. Once SafeFeed is in the Play Store you'll install it the normal way.

Why two separate apps?

Because I didn't want a single binary on the device that could pivot from "the parent's controls" to "the kid's content" with a button tap. Your kid never has access to your password, your billing, or any other family. The two apps are walls, not doors. More detail here.

Do I need a Google account for the kid app?

Nope. The kid never signs in to anything. Just type the family code once, tap their name, and they're in.

Is the trial actually free?

Yes — no credit card required to start. You sign up, use it for 30 days, decide whether to subscribe. We don't auto-charge you because we can't — we never asked for the card in the first place. After 30 days the parent app prompts you to subscribe if you want to keep going.
