Skwaddy helps parents make childhood feel more connected, by making playdates, parties, and trusted plans easier to organise.
Coordinating your children's social lives should feel easier, warmer, and safer than another chaotic WhatsApp thread. Skwaddy is purpose-built for family social coordination, with privacy and trust designed into the experience from the start.
YOUR CHILDREN'S FRIENDSHIPS ARE THE ORGANISING PRINCIPLE
You connect with Sarah because her daughter is friends with your daughter, as well as your existing circle of family friends with children. No strangers from the internet. When you create a playdate, Skwaddy already knows which families are relevant. No scrolling through noisy group chats. No guessing.
VERIFIED TRUSTED CONNECTIONS ONLY
Every connection requires mutual confirmation through a QR code scan (in person) or a secure deep link. No stranger requests. No friend-of-a-friend suggestions. You control exactly who is in your child's social circle.
PARTIES WITHOUT THE ADMIN
Create a party. Set capacity. Send smart link invitations. RSVPs auto-approve until you are full. Dietary restrictions and allergies aggregate automatically across all confirmed guests. Calendar files generate themselves. What used to take three hours of texting now takes three minutes.
"OPEN TO PLAYDATES" AVAILABILITY
Toggle on when your family is free. Your trusted connections see it instantly. It is like a status that says "we are available this weekend" without the awkward group message.
EXPLORE FAMILY-FRIENDLY VENUES
Discover kid-friendly places near you, get directions, read details, and add them directly to your playdate or party. All in one app.
MESSAGING BUILT FOR PARENTS
Direct messaging between connected parents, with context. See upcoming playdates and availability notices right inside your conversations. Draft messages auto-save so you never lose what you were typing.
PRIVACY DESIGNED FOR FAMILIES
Children's surnames are never fully stored. Phone numbers are cryptographically hashed before they touch the server. Row-level database security means users can only ever access data about families they are connected to. Privacy is built into how Skwaddy works, from invitations and RSVPs to trusted connections and family communication.
SKWADDY PLUS (OPTIONAL PREMIUM)
Free users enjoy full playdate coordination, messaging, and venue discovery. Skwaddy Plus unlocks unlimited party creation, additional child profiles, expanded family connections, and priority support. Start with a 7-day free trial.
Skwaddy is built for parents of children aged 2 to 12 in South Africa, with plans to expand. Whether you are setting up a Saturday playdate or planning a birthday party for twenty kids, Skwaddy keeps the coordination calm and the childhood connected.
