New Child Safety App 'Trust Buddy' Launches Globally to Give Children a Voice When Words Are Hard
New child safety app gives kids a voice when words are hard.
Trust Buddy LLC today officially announced the launch of Trust Buddy, a groundbreaking child safety communication platform designed to help children quickly and calmly reach trusted adults when they feel unsafe, uncomfortable, or overwhelmed. Available on both iOS and Android, the app provides kids with a private, reassuring way to communicate when talking face-to-face feels too difficult.
Trust Buddy acts as a private, calm space where children can break their silence before a crisis escalates. Unlike traditional text messaging, which puts the burden on a child to find the right words and hope someone replies, Trust Buddy lifts that burden through an intuitive, child-friendly interface featuring soft colors and large buttons tailored for ages 4 to 17.
The app launches with a robust suite of core safety features that are free, forever, including:
- Help Me Explain: A gentle, guided wizard that helps children find the right words to describe what is going on, one question at a time. To protect the child's privacy, wizard answers stay private; only the final compiled message is shared.
- Ask For Help: A calm outreach tool that utilizes emoji prompts and pre-written messages for moments when speaking or typing feels too difficult.
- One-Tap Emergency Alerts: A critical feature that simultaneously alerts every trusted adult in the child's network when every second matters, generating an active emergency timeline with real-time location sharing.
- The Trusted Circle: A completely secure ecosystem where the child chooses who to invite (parents, relatives, teachers, or coaches). For children under 13, parents maintain full approval rights over new members.
"No child should have to face a difficult, scary, or confusing moment alone," said Amy Geiger, Founder and CEO of Trust Buddy LLC. "We built Trust Buddy because every child deserves a voice, and someone should always be listening. By providing children with a dedicated, reassuring channel to communicate safely, we give parents clear tools to listen, respond, and support them with absolute confidence."
Privacy and security are the foundation of Trust Buddy. The platform is entirely COPPA-compliant, requires verified parental consent for children under 13, features an instant "Quick Exit" safe screen, contains no advertisements, and never sells personal data. For families seeking advanced tools, an optional "Plus" subscription unlocks Safe Zone geofencing and continuous live location sharing.
Trust Buddy is available for download today on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. For more information, visit https://trustbuddyapp.com.
