The smarter choice for families
Other monitoring tools flag keywords and flood you with false alarms. 221Buddy reads the full picture so you only get alerted when it matters.
Every phone, tablet, and device your child uses — covered under one flat rate. Most competitors charge per device or cap you at two.
Our AI understands context, not just words. "I'm going to kill this test" is not an alert. You won't be woken up at 2 am over a movie quote.
When your child's safety is on the line, you need a real answer fast. Our support team — actual people — responds to priority requests within hours.
Keyword scanners see one word. We show you the whole thread — who said what, when, and what came before and after — so you can make an informed decision.
Your family's data is never sold, never shared with advertisers. We make money from subscriptions — not from your children.
One plan. One price. No per-child fees, no per-device upsells, no surprise charges. Know exactly what you pay before you sign up.
Common questions
What is 221Buddy?
221Buddy is a family safety platform that helps parents stay connected and informed about their children's digital activity. It provides real-time alerts, conversation insights, and monitoring tools — all in one place — so families can have meaningful conversations about online safety.
How do I add a child account?
Once you're signed in, navigate to Settings → Family and click Add Child. You'll be guided through a short setup wizard to link your child's device. Each child gets their own profile, and you can manage permissions and alerts independently for each one.
What devices and platforms are supported?
221Buddy currently supports iOS and Android devices. Monitoring features require the 221Buddy companion app to be installed on your child's device. We recommend keeping the companion app updated to ensure you receive the latest alerts and activity data.
Is my family's data private and secure?
Yes. All data is encrypted in transit and at rest. We do not sell your data or share it with third parties. Only you — the account holder — can view your family's activity. You can review our full privacy practices on the Privacy Policy page.
How do alerts work?
Alerts are triggered when 221Buddy detects activity that matches your monitoring preferences — such as specific keywords, contact patterns, or usage thresholds. You'll receive a notification and can review the flagged activity in the Alerts section of your dashboard. You can customize alert sensitivity in Settings → Alerts.
