What is Other?
Other unites three leading British companies to design the world's safest smartphone for kids and teens.
Software built by SafetyMode.
Perfected with Mumsnet users.
All on a Nothing smartphone.
Peace of mind with SafetyMode parental controls
SafetyMode monitors the screen in real-time to block inappropriate content. You can control app access completely - even removing the browser - with protections kids can't bypass.
Monitor all apps with on-device AI
SafetyMode's filters scan text and images across every app, blocking and logging unsuitable content based on easily customised rules.
All data is stored on the phone (never on an external server) for complete privacy.
Anti-addictive by design
Screen time is a big concern for any parent. The Other phone offers alternative user interfaces, removing addictive notification and design patterns.
Select when and which apps are accessible
Set individual apps to be available according to a schedule. Whether this is always, never or at specific times (e.g. outside of school hours, or limited to 1 hour per day).
Integrated website blocking
SafetyMode blocks web traffic from adult websites and mobile social media apps automatically.
Blocks apply in addition to filters you set, across all installed apps.
Customisable on the web
Monitor location and configure SafetyMode's content filters and app controls from your phone or computer over the internet.
Our Research
Our research shows 88% of parents are scared about screentime.
77% say keeping their child safe online feels like an impossible task.
74% believe it’s inevitable their child will be exposed to inappropriate content.
Only 1 in 3 (34%) rate existing parental control apps as “very effective”.
So we came together to build Other - because there is an alternative.
One smartphone for their whole childhood
Choose an interface that fits: lists for younger kids or to reduce screentime, or app grids for a more typical Android experience. Remove restrictions entirely when they're ready.

“Most important and essential new tool for parents this year”
Hugh Grant after testing with his children
“He couldn't access restricted material and it wasn't even coming up for him due to the settings. It gave me a peace of mind as I can't police him all the time with the phone.”
Mumsnet tester
“I was pleased to see it would work with Dexcom apps as my older child has type one diabetes and I know lots of parents really want a safer phone for their child when they have to have it with them day and night”
