Solve the Kid Phone Problem
Caregiver Portal Features
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.
If you also use Bark, a monitoring service we recommend highly, you will get alerts about any texts or photos that might be concerning: sex, bullying, self-harm, and more.
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
No app store on their Pinwheel phone. We keep app choices in your hands, not your child's. You choose which ones, and you choose when they can use them.
The curated app boutique makes it easy to choose useful, healthy apps for your child. No social media, no addictive games, not internet browsing, no mindless consumption.
Schedule Permissions
Our Days/Modes calendar 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.
Create Routines
Help your child learn to be more independent and responsible with Pinwheel's fully-customizable checklists. A morning routine to make sure they're ready for school on time, with teeth brushed and backpack in hand. A bedtime routine for evening peace.
Routines for chores, for music practice, for anything you'd like your kid to do without you telling them for the millionth time. Gold stars and confetti help them celebrate their daily wins and nurture good habits.
GPS Location Tracking
Pinwheel equips you to teach your child how to use a phone responsibly.
"Waiting as long as possible" is not a plan. If you delay phone use until they are rebellious teenagers, you may be in for more of a battle than you bargained for. Begin the process of teaching your child responsible technology use and digital literacy before they become adolescents. Instill the habits that will protect them their whole life.
Pinwheel solves the kid phone problem, with a phone designed to work for both of you. You get a tool to teach them how to use technology well. They get a phone that helps them live their best life.
