FamilySafe

Know your family is safe — without handing your family's data to anyone

FamilySafe gives parents full, real-time visibility into their family member’s device. All photos, location data, and on-screen text are encrypted directly on the device and can only be accessed by you—the server cannot read any of it. The app also cannot be removed or disabled.

Data sovereignty

Your family's data belongs to your family. It's encrypted with a key derived from your password, in your browser. We physically cannot read it, hand it over, or sell it.

Deep visibility

Far beyond app timers: live location, on-screen text awareness, visual check-ins, calls, messages and apps — a complete picture when you need it most.

Tamper-resistant

Running as a system component of hardened firmware, the agent can't be uninstalled, force-stopped, or dodged by powering the device off. Protection that stays on.

Everything in one dashboard

The full FamilySafe toolkit

Live map rendering

Track real-time location with a live-updating map, full history trails, and instant pin refresh.

Geofencing

Draw safe zones around home and school. Get alerted the moment your family member arrives or leaves.

Platform-level text scraping

Accessibility node parsing surfaces on-screen text across every app — readable by you, completely blind to the server.

High-alert visual intervals

When something's wrong, trigger on-demand screenshots / live video stream & for rapid situational awareness.

Ambient recording loops

Capture rolling ambient audio intervals during a high-alert event — sealed end-to-end like everything else.

Remote admin controls

Reboot, remote-lock, factory-wipe a lost device, or fire a max-volume alarm override to locate it instantly.

Calls, SMS & contacts

Review communication history and contacts to spot risky interactions early.

App control · allow/block lists

See every installed app and block the ones you don't approve. Set an allow-list or block-list so unapproved apps can't be installed in the first place.

Common questions

Frequently asked questions

Is SentinelMDM FamilySafe legal to use?

Yes, when used as intended: a parent or legal guardian supervising their own minor family member on a device the parent owns and administers, with the monitoring disclosed to the device user. FamilySafe is built for disclosed, consent-based supervision — not covert tracking of another adult. Recording-consent and privacy laws vary by jurisdiction, so lawful use is the account holder's responsibility. Read the full legal guide →

Can SentinelMDM read my family's data?

No. FamilySafe uses zero-knowledge end-to-end encryption. Photos, location, and on-screen text are encrypted on the device before they ever leave it, with a key derived from your password inside your browser. Our servers only ever store opaque ciphertext we cannot read, hand over, or sell. How zero-knowledge works →

Will my family member know the app is installed?

FamilySafe is disclosed monitoring software, meant to be installed openly and with the device user's knowledge. It is designed for honest family supervision, not secret surveillance. Disclosed vs. stealth monitoring →

What can I monitor with FamilySafe?

A complete picture from one dashboard: live map and location history, geofencing alerts, platform-level on-screen text awareness, on-demand photo and screenshot check-ins, calls, SMS and contacts, installed-app control with allow/block lists, and remote controls such as lock, factory-wipe, and a max-volume locate alarm.

Can the app be uninstalled or bypassed?

No. FamilySafe runs as a system component of custom-compiled, hardened firmware. It cannot be uninstalled, force-stopped, or evaded by powering the device off, so protection stays on.

How long is captured data stored, and how much does it cost?

All captured telemetry automatically purges on a strict 30-day TTL, aligned with COPPA data-minimization. FamilySafe starts at $9.99/month and includes a 30-day free trial. See pricing →
