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 and call close friends and family in a safe way.

Sage Haven is a safe messaging and voice calling app designed for kids in their first few years of being online. It comes with powerful parent safety and empowerment tools. Harmful messages, links, and pictures are blocked before they are sent. Kids are nudged towards kindness and best practices. Parents can supervise their kid's messages easily from their own phones with alerts and insightful recaps to make this manageable.

Sage Haven is a monthly subscription starting at $4.99/month/family. It's an ad-free experience that doesn't make more money through "engagement" or addictive design features. We feel this is a small price to pay for peace of mind and safety for your family. You can also rest assured that we will never sell or share your data.

Sage Haven currently works on iOS devices only including iPads, iPhones, and Apple Watches. We will be launching Android soon so join the Android waitlist today using the button on the top right of this page, and we'll email you when it's ready.

Parents download the Sage Haven app to their own phone from the Apple App Store and follow the instructions to set up their kid. After setup, the parent will download the Sage Haven app on their kid's devices.

When parents set up Simplified Apps, we walk them through every step of the process of how to block apps on kids iPhone​s, iPads, and smartwatches within the device's settings. Open Settings. Identify an app you want to delete and swipe left. Then tap "Delete".

Sage Haven is specifically designed for kid’s safety and well-being. Every kid account must be linked to a verified parent account. Parents approve who their kid can message with and easily supervise their kid's messages from their own phones with alerts and recaps for ease.

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

Sage Haven is also designed to be non-addictive with minimal notifications and a thoughtful UX that doesn't encourage excessive usage.

Safety and privacy of personal information are top priorities for us. Kids are not searchable on the platform, and we collect the least amount of information needed for a good user experience. We 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.
