Parent app overview
The SafeCircle Parent app for Android — what it does, its two variants and how it relates to the dashboard.
SafeCircle Parent is an Android app for you, the parent. It uses the same account as the web dashboard and shows the same children, devices and alerts, with push notifications on your phone.
The parent app is a companion, not a requirement. Everything it shows is also in the dashboard, and the dashboard has more settings. It is an early version (0.2).
What you can do
| Tab | What it's for |
|---|---|
| Home | A dashboard of cards you can add, remove and move, for all children or one child. |
| Alerts | The alert feed, grouped by day. Filter by All, Unread or High risk. |
| Family | Your children, their latest alert, and pairing for new devices. |
| Insights | Alerts per day over 7 days or 30 days, top categories, top alert sources and busiest child. |
| Settings | Profile, notifications, appearance, app lock, sessions, support and About. |
Open an alert to see the risk level, the child and the time, Why this was flagged, Model confidence, and Mark as read. Alerts have the same content as in the dashboard: a summary, never the child's messages. See Alerts.
Two variants
The app comes in two variants. They share the same account, data and features; they differ in the interface.
| Variant | Package name | Interface |
|---|---|---|
| Standard | com.safecircle.parents | Material You (Material 3) design with optional dynamic colour |
| Samsung | com.safecircle.parents.samsung (version ends in -oneui) | One UI design for Samsung phones, plus home-screen and lock-screen status widgets |
Install the one that matches your phone. You only need one.
How it relates to the dashboard
- Same account. You sign in with the email and password of your dashboard account. Children, devices and alerts you create in one appear in the other.
- Pairing. You can add a child and pair their phone from either place. See Set up the parent app.
- Notifications. The app adds push notifications. The dashboard shows alerts while it is open and can message you on Telegram. See Notifications.
- Two-factor authentication. The app can sign in with a 6-digit authenticator code, but you set up and manage two-factor authentication in the dashboard. See Account and security.
Requirements
- Android 11 or later
- A SafeCircle account. Anyone can create one. See Join the beta.
- An internet connection
