KidWarden: Child Message Alert

KidWarden tells you right away when someone sends your child something worrying.

When a child aged 9 to 13 gets their first phone, strangers and bullies can reach them in messengers long before a parent finds out. Kids often do not tell. KidWarden gives you an early warning, so you can talk to your child and react in time.

HOW IT WORKS

Install KidWarden on your phone and on your child's Android phone
Connect the two phones with a one-time code from your app
On the child's phone KidWarden runs quietly in the background and checks incoming messenger and SMS notifications
When a message matches a phrase from your list, you get a push alert with the app name, a short fragment and the risk level
WHAT IT WATCHES FOR

Attempts to meet your child in person
Requests for photos
Asking your child to keep secrets from parents
Sexual content and suggestive messages
Threats and bullying
Requests for personal information like address or school
YOU STAY IN CONTROL

Edit the list of detected phrases, add your own, set a category and a high or medium risk level
Restore the ready-made default list at any time
Mark alerts as handled or save the important ones
Call your child straight from an alert
See whether the child's phone is protected and when it last synced
Send a test alert during setup to check that everything works
RESPECTFUL BY DESIGN

Phrases are matched on the child's phone
You only get a short fragment of the matching message, never whole conversations
Nothing is blocked and your child can use their phone normally
Your child cannot change the settings
IMPORTANT

The child's phone must be an Android phone. The parent app works on iPhone and Android.
KidWarden detects phrases, not meaning, so it will not catch every risk. It is a warning tool, not a replacement for talking with your child.
