About this app

Safeknot Child is the trusted companion app that connects your child’s Android phone to the Safeknot Parent app—so you can protect, guide, and stay close in real time. Built for speed, reliability, and privacy, Safeknot delivers instant SOS, live GPS, app usage controls, and more—only the connected parent can view or manage the child’s data.

Why Safeknot Child matters

Children move fast—your safety tools should be faster. Safeknot streams live location and safety signals in near real time, helping families coordinate, respond, and feel secure throughout the day.

Remote controls from the Parent app

The Safeknot Parent app works like a secure remote for the child’s device. Parents can:

Activate/disable app tracking insights remotely.

Block apps instantly or set usage timers/schedules.

Create, edit, and allow/disallow geofences (school, home, custom zones).

Request live location and view recent routes.

Receive social-media notification alerts (metadata only, per OS rules).

Trigger a priority ring even if the child’s phone is on silent (with permissions).

Request a short ambient sound check during SOS or when explicitly allowed.
Everything is encrypted and visible only to the linked parent account.

Key features

Instant SOS (panic button) → Immediate alerts to the connected parent.

Live GPS tracking → Real-time location and quick check-ins.

Geofences & smart alerts → Enter/exit notifications for safe zones.

App usage insights → Understand screen time and activity.

App blocking & timers → Limits and schedules, enforced remotely.

Social notification tracking → Optional notification metadata to spot risks.

Live sound check (hands-free) → Short ambient audio on request in supported flows.

Voice messages during SOS → Context in seconds.

Ring through silent → Reach the child device in urgent moments.

Lightning-fast sync → Parent changes apply instantly.

Control & visibility: All actions and data are visible only to the connected parent. No one else (including Safeknot staff or third parties) can access your child’s private data.

Privacy & Security

End-to-end secure communication between Child and Parent apps.

Encryption at rest and in transit, modern auth & key rotation.

No data selling, no ad-tracking, no third-party profiling.

Parent-only access by design.

How it works

Install Safeknot Child on your child’s device.

Link it by scanning the code shown in your Safeknot Parent app.

Grant the requested permissions for reliable operation.

Manage everything remotely from the Parent app—in real time.

Permissions we request & why

Location (Precise & Background) → Live GPS, routes, geofence alerts.

Notification Access → Social notification tracking (titles/alerts only).

Accessibility Service → Accurate app usage and blocks/timers.

Microphone (optional, explicit use) → Voice SOS & short ambient checks.

Do Not Disturb / Alarms → Ring-through-silent for urgent contact.

We show required notices/indicators where the OS mandates. Use only with the informed consent of your child and in compliance with local laws and store policies. Safeknot is a family safety tool—not covert surveillance.
