Safer messaging kids love

Kid group chats often begin in elementary school on watches, tablets and phones. In these group chats, kids are frequently exposed to online bullying, inappropriate content and are getting addicted to checking their devices constantly.  We created Sage Haven so kids can message with close friends and family in a safer, kinder way.

Sage Haven is safe, kinder, messaging app designed for kids with powerful parent safety and empowerment tools. Harmful messages, links, and pictures are blocked before they are sent. Kids are nudged towards best practices and kindness. Parents have the option to supervise easily from their own phones with alerts and recaps and get insights that help them bond with their kid at every age.

Sage Parents and Sage Haven are run by the same company. Sage Parents has a free parent guidebook with recommended steps for navigating technology choices for elementary school-aged kids. Sage Haven is a technology solution that enables kids to message online safely. Both are deeply committed to the well-being of kids.

Sage Haven gives families flexibility with free and premium experiences.

All Sage Haven members can enjoy unlimited messaging with other Sage Haven members for free and get up to 250 messages sent to non-Sage Haven users (on iMessage or other messaging apps) each month.

We charge $5/month/kid for unlimited messages sent to non-Sage Haven users.

You can also rest assured that we will never sell or share your data.

We are working hard to build an amazing app that kids adore and parents trust. This takes time, so at the beginning, we are launching our pilot to select early access users only. Please sign up for early access, and we’ll continue to open the app to more users on the list systematically.

Sage Haven currently works across iPads and iPhones. We will be launching Apple Watch support soon followed by Android devices. Sign up for early access and we'll send updates when we release new devices.

Parents download the Sage Haven app to their own phone and set up their family's account. Every kid account must be linked to a verified parent account for safety and security. After set-up, the parent will download the Sage Haven app on their kids devices where the kids can immediately begin messaging with approved friends and family.

Yes, you can message your kid from your existing message platform like iMessage, Google Messages, etc., and your kid will receive your messages on their Sage Haven app.

With Sage Haven, kids are issued a Sage Haven number and you can save them in your phone like a new Contact. You can also share their Sage Haven number with trusted friends and family. Parents will need to approve each Connection in the Parent Hub within the Sage Haven app before kids can message with them.

Sage Haven is specifically designed for kid’s safety. Every kid account must be linked to a verified parent account. Parents approve who their kid can message with, set usage limits, and have the option to easily supervise the chats from their own phones with alerts and recaps.

Sage Haven also uses sophisticated AI moderation designed to block harmful messages, links, and photos before they are even sent and nudge kids towards best practices and kindness.

Your kid can only message with parent-approved friends and family members.

Safety and privacy of personal information is top priority for us. Parents provide their kid’s first name and the first initial of their last name along with their age, grade, school name and a real photo to ensure other parents are approving connections with the correct friend. None of the kids information will be visible to anyone outside of their school or without their unique QR code.

We collect the least amount of information needed for a good user experience and use best practices to keep the limited data we do store safe. We do not run ads or sell your personal information. We make it easy to delete your account and data history. We conduct Parent Verification on every parent through a payment card to ensure kids aren't setting up fake accounts and to ensure we are COPPA compliant.
