Approve All Their Contacts

You approve every contact the Pinwheel phone can call or text. It's easy for your child to request a new addition.

Pinwheel scheduling can even determine which contacts are available when. No secrets, no spam calls, no texting friends all night.

Emergency contacts (you, and whoever else you designate) are always available. And yes: it can call 911, though we hope they never need to!

Supervise Their Texting

Learning to communicate appropriately is a big part of the learning journey for kids. Most parents find texting provides a lot of coachable moments along the way.

Being able to see their entire text history from the Caregiver Portal eliminates the drama of having to say, "Hand over your phone."

Enable Apps

Choose apps with expert guidance from Pinwheel's safety ratings. The easy red-yellow-green system gives you information about what's in each app so you know what you're enabling on your child's phone.

More than 1,000 apps have safety ratings, but you can choose any app from the Google Play Store except social media and adult apps.

Schedule Permissions

A customizable schedule lets you choose which contacts and apps are available at what times of day. No texting friends during school, no staying up late using apps. You choose what they can do during different times of day. No need to constantly remind them what is and isn't ok.

Pinwheel helps them develop healthy boundaries around technology use, without the drama.

GPS Location Tracking

Live Status shows you the location of the phone, and even how much battery charge there is. You can set up notifications when your child leaves or arrives at a saved location.
