Help and safety
Children can ask for help, call me, pick me up or say: I cannot explain. Trusted adults can receive safety metadata without private chats.
Features
A full overview of Sprout Guard's core features: help, Safe Chat, message and camera checks, Safe Browser, AppBlocker, gaming, gambling, AI, learning, Family Map and School Mode.
Safe Chat
Safe Chat helps children check and rewrite cruel, bullying, threatening or hurtful messages before sending in Sprout Guard and supported flows.
Messages and camera
Check Message, Scan Before Send and Safe Camera help with messages, links, images, screenshots and video before a child shares something risky.
Safe Browser
Safe Browser and link checks can block pornography, violent content, scams, gambling and age-inappropriate pages before they open.
AppBlocker and Control Center
Quick Block, screen time, app limits, schedules, Strict Mode, allowlists and more-time requests live in one calm control center.
Gaming
Gaming covers play time, gaming rules, contacts, Robux, skins, loot boxes, play breaks and rewards for healthy pauses.
Gambling
Gambling is separate from gaming with hard-blocks for betting, casino, skin gambling, gift card pressure, gambling links and spending alerts.
Sprout AI
Sprout Assistant, Parent Coach, AI Guard and Study Helper provide short explanations, safe replies and learning help with backend-only AI and guardrails.
Learning and Academy
Guides, missions, quizzes and short exercises teach kids and adults about red flags, grooming, image pressure, gaming, gambling and AI.
Family Map
Family map, temporary location sharing, pick-me-up, trip groups and events help families find each other without public precise location.
School Mode
Classes, teaching rooms, AI work scanner, consent and classroom control are built for schools without showing private student data by default.
Privacy-first
Sprout Guard is not spyware. It does not store full conversations, intimate images or full browsing history by default.
How it works
Sprout Guard combines local scanner flows, age-appropriate rules, help recipients, guides and short backend AI explanations.
What parents can see
Parents can see safety alerts, app names and time, blocked categories, active rules, child-shared reports and location if sharing is enabled.
What parents cannot see
Parents cannot see every message, every photo, blocked intimate images, hidden screen recordings, passwords or full browsing history by default.
Not spyware
Sprout Guard uses visible safety flows and official platform features where possible. It does not promise hidden surveillance.
Limitations
Some features require iOS Screen Time, Android Family Link, Usage Access or manual setup. No app can guarantee 100% safety.
Setup
Start with login, role choice, help recipient, notification test and then the safety profiles that fit the family.
