SafetyMode

SafetyMode is a family technology brand focused on making smartphones safer for children and teens. Its products combine parental controls with tools designed to support independence, healthier screen habits, and age-appropriate access to technology. The brand’s flagship device, OtherPhone, is a smartphone developed in collaboration with Mumsnet parents and offered in the UK, the United States’ East Coast, and Ireland. SafetyMode also provides an app for compatible modern Android phones, available internationally through Google Play.

SafetyMode’s features include real-time blocking of harmful text and images across apps, messages, and websites; customizable content filters; app scheduling and time limits; and controls that let parents approve app downloads or block apps. SafetyMode Plus adds alerts, reports, remote settings management, and location access. The company says safety data is stored on the device. Families can choose a free app option, a paid monthly subscription, or OtherPhone, which includes three months of SafetyMode Plus. SafetyMode presents its approach as a way to protect children online without constant parental monitoring.
