Guardian helps you spot online safety concerns and start better conversations. Get the context that matters and the words to check in - while giving your teen room to grow.
More real-life
moments.
The internet is complicated. Knowing how to show up for your teen shouldn’t have to be.
Related safety signals become one clear Safety Moment, with the context to understand what’s going on.
A Conversation Coach helps you start calmly, ask better questions, and figure out the next step together.
“You’re not in trouble.
I’m glad you told me.”
Your teen sees what’s on, shares when something feels wrong, and has a voice in your family’s boundaries.
A clear view of what matters, with practical support for whatever comes next.

Safety works better when your teen is part of it. Vettly Companion, the teen app, lets them check messages, links, and people for themselves, learn the warning signs, and choose what to share with you.
Download your apps and pair them with a short code. Your teen is part of setup from the start.
Review supported checks and permissions together. Agree on what’s shared and what stays private.
Send a test share and see it arrive. You’ll both know what to expect when something real comes up.
Every phone is different. Guardian shows which sources are connected, what’s working, and where there are gaps.
Companion shares and help requests, plus supported notification and accessibility signals with the required permissions.
Android coverage ↗Sharing and help requests work in Companion. For iMessage signals, Mac Bridge checks a Finder backup your family selects.
Mac Bridge ↗Connections to platforms such as Instagram, TikTok, and Discord are limited to the data each platform makes available.
Understand the limits ↓Worth knowing: Mac Bridge isn’t live iMessage monitoring. Guardian doesn’t cover Snapchat DMs or encrypted message content inside WhatsApp. A request to move apps may appear in a covered source; the new conversation may remain outside coverage. For teens 13–17 · Coverage varies by device

Guardian is designed for families with teens ages 13–17. The current release does not create or target profiles for children under 13.
No tool can guarantee safety. Guardian can only assess supported, connected sources and can miss things or surface a concern that turns out to be harmless. It supports your judgment and conversations. It is not an emergency service.
Start with Vettly Family. Connect with your teen. Take it from there.
