LESS NOISE. MORE CONNECTION.

Family life isn’t one-size-fits-all.
Your family space shouldn’t be either.

A clear overview for you.
A little independence for them.

Built in the parent web app

One family.
Individual little worlds.

Give every child their own profile and dedicated space. Keep devices, saved routines and family details organised without mixing everyone together.

Start with a conversation.

Usage starts unrestricted. Saved routines are a starting point for healthy habits, not a promise that a phone is already being controlled.

What’s ready today

Connection, in the open.

A visible child app, clear permissions and revocable pairing. Planned live sessions are view-only and require device authorization.

Your questions, answered
TWO APPS. ONE CONNECTION.

You’re on the same team.
Sideby side.

Sideby Parent lives in your browser. Sideby Connect is the upcoming Android companion for your child’s device.

Android connection testing is the next milestone.
  1. 01

    Make room for your family

    Create a parent account and add a profile for each child in the parent dashboard.

  2. 02

    Pair, then confirm

    The planned companion uses an expiring code. You compare the details and confirm the device in Sideby Parent.

  3. 03

    Stay connected, with clarity

    Device check-ins will show when the companion was last heard from. Permissions and future features stay explicit.

BUILT WITH CARE, ONE STEP AT A TIME

A real foundation.
An honest roadmap.

We’re building Sideby in stages. Here’s where things stand, without the fine print.

BUILT · IN TESTING

The parent web foundation

Accounts, multiple child profiles, private profile photos, saved routines and the web side of device pairing.

UP NEXT

The first Android connection

A visible Sideby Connect app: enter a pairing code, confirm the device and test real check-ins.

LATER · SUBJECT TO PLATFORM SUPPORT

More ways to understand

Device activity, permissions and authorised sharing. Live media and device controls need real-device testing before release.

GOOD QUESTIONS

A little clarity
before we connect.

Can I use Sideby today?

The parent web foundation is built and being tested. Public account access and the Android companion are not available from this website yet. This page introduces the project; it does not enroll your family or collect device information.

Can one parent connect more than one child?

Yes. The parent dashboard supports multiple child profiles, and each child can have multiple paired devices. Android pairing still needs to be tested with the upcoming companion.

Will my child know the app is installed?

Yes. Sideby Connect will be a visible companion with clear permission explanations. Sideby does not hide itself or pretend to be a system service. Planned live sessions require device authorization and visible controls.

Does Sideby already limit screen time or show messages?

Not yet. Routines can be saved in the dashboard, but they are not enforced on a phone. Usage, location, notifications and live media await Android integration and permission testing. Social notifications will show only available notification previews, not complete private conversations.

Will it work on iPhone?

Android is the first companion platform we plan to test. We do not currently promise an iPhone companion or equivalent features across platforms.

Growing up is a journey.
Let’s stay side by side.

Connected families. Healthy habits.
