LM Family Safe

Know your kids are okay, and let them reach you in one tap.

Working build

What it is

A family safety app a parent leads: family setup, app requests, check-ins, family chat, goals and rewards, and an SOS a child can reach fast.

What it is working on

The working build is done, and it has been split into a parent app and a kid app. The live features stay off on purpose for now: no live SOS delivery, no app blocking, and no live location until four safety checks pass on real phones (SOS delivery, household isolation, guardian verification, and location privacy). The two-phone test with Miranda is the gate. It is not in the stores yet, and it opens only after those checks pass.

Why this really matters

Families are the mission field. A safety tool only earns a family's trust if it is safe first, which is why this one is checked hardest and opens last, not first.
