Why Sayph is different
Sayph is not just another addictive smartphone
It’s designed with your child’s wellbeing first in mind.
At its heart is Sayph OS, a custom-built system that gives parents full control over how the phone is used.
You choose which apps are allowed, who your child can contact, when the phone can be used, and even know where they are — thanks to built-in location tracking & alerts.
There are no sneaky backdoors, no hidden browsers, and no ways for kids to download things you haven’t approved.
At Sayph, we believe parents should be in control, not big tech algorithms
And, with intelligent AI monitoring tools coming soon, you’ll be alerted to any worrying patterns or risky behaviour.
Sayph gives your child the independence they crave, with the protection you know they need.

What Is Sayph?
Sayph isn’t just another smartphone — it’s developed with your child’s safety in mind.
What exactly is a Sayph phone?
We use the Samsung Galaxy A16 5G smartphone – a modern, fast android smartphone with a good camera and a large screen. Something that passes the credibility test with teens. We then load it with our custom software, to ensure it’s fully locked down and suitable for use by innocent children. We wouldn’t want our own children to become addicted to their devices, so we’ve worked hard to make sure the Sayph phone gives them enough, without giving them too much.
Do I need any other software?
The phone comes with its own child-safe software out of the box. You’ll just need to use our web app, on which you’ll create your own account, linked to your child’s phone on set-up. From there, you’ll be able to track the phone’s location, monitor calls and messages and maintain the list of approved contacts. If a number is not listed in your child’s contacts, it simply won’t be able to get through to their phone.
What if my child doesn’t want a restricted phone?
We firmly believe that, although it’s not uncommon for young people in the UK to have internet enabled devices from as young as 10, one day we’ll look back on this period as we do now on smoking in the 1960s. As adults, we know there’s a lot of unpleasant content online, as well as addictive apps that may affect us; for a young person with a developing brain and identity, it’s something else entirely.
What will it cost?
We will launch the phone at a zero premium to the standard, unrestricted, non-Sayph version, to make our safe phones as accessible as possible.
Subscription to the parent app, to control and monitor the phone and its usage, set limits and alerts, complete with AI summaries of message content will cost less than £10/month.
