For kids age 8–14

One tap to help.
No watching in between.

Firefly puts an SOS button, an encrypted vault, and 800+ crisis resources in your kid's hands, and nothing that tracks them, reads their messages, or reports back. Free for families. COPPA-compliant.

Why other safety apps fail

Surveillance isn't safety.

Life360, Bark, Qustodio, they all do the same thing. Track every move. Read every message. Monitor every app.

Kids feel watched, not protected. And when something actually goes wrong? They're afraid to reach out, because they know their parents are watching everything.

Life360
Always-on location tracking. Kids call it 'Control GPS.'
Bark
Monitors all messages and activity. Nothing is private.
Qustodio
Parental controls and blocking. Not a conversation starter.
What Firefly does instead

Tools to get help. Nothing that watches.

⭐
Child-controlled vault
Your child decides what to log, flag, and who to share with. No parental backdoor into their private thoughts.
📍
No always-on tracking
Location sharing only during an active SOS. The rest of the time? Firefly has no idea where they are.
🎮
Show Log decoy
To anyone checking their phone, Firefly looks like an adventure tracker with emoji quests. The real app is indistinguishable from a game.
🔒
Duress PIN
If someone forces them to unlock the app, a special PIN opens a decoy, while keeping real data completely hidden.
✅
COPPA-compliant
Under 13 requires verifiable parental consent. No independent data collection. No email required.
🚪
Quick exit
One tap off the list. Nothing on Google. No trace. No history. No questions.
How it works

Set up in minutes. Invisible until it's needed.

Step 01

One PIN. Three contacts.

No email, no phone number, no identity required. Nothing to sign, done in minutes.

Step 02

Daily use is invisible

They use the Emoji Log, or an adventure tracker with quests and emojis. The real Firefly looks like the game it pretends to be.

Step 03

Emergency when they need it

Instant encrypted SOS, location broadcast to trusted contacts. 800+ child-facing resources. All child-controlled.

A fictional example: Sam, on their first phone.

Scene 1 · The first phone

Their first phone should feel like freedom, not a leash.

An adventure-style daily log, not a surveillance dashboard.

Scene 1 of 5
What you'll see, and what you won't

Peace of mind,
without breaking trust.

Firefly's companion dashboard shows check-ins and alerts. It does NOT show vault contents. Your child's privacy stays private.

Check-in status
See when they last checked in. Set yours in 30 seconds.
SOS alerts
Instant notification if they activate SOS, with location broadcast.
No vault access
You cannot read their Firefly log. Only they can. That's the deal.
Organization tools
Schools and programs can monitor group safety data without individual access.

“The goal isn't to watch them. It's to make sure they know how to call for help, and that help will come.”

Free for families, forever

Free. Because safety
shouldn't have a price tag.

Firefly is free for individual kids and families. Organization pricing for schools and youth programs is coming soon.
