Turn your old smartphone into a minimalistic phone for minors
A child-proof OS for a brighter future
Install Startphone OS on any Samsung phone – from anywhere in the world.
Freedom from distraction
The Startphone OS is an operative system that can be installed on any Samsung smartphone – old or new.
We install the OS on your phone remotely which allows for your old Samsung phone to transform into a safe, simple, kid-friendly device.
With the Startphone OS installed the phone will no longer be able to access social media, browse the internet or download apps.
Mindful tech for kids
Childproof your child’s phone with Futurephone OS and allow your child to focus on real experiences and learning, friendships and play.
No social media, no encrypted chats, no internet browsing. No need for parental controls since the device is already protected from what you would want to block.
Re-use your old Samsung
All you need to get the Startphone OS on your old Samsung mobile device, is the IMEI number available in Settings or on the back of the phone.
Reaching the Startphone Standard
The Startphone OS is new and not yet 100% perfect. This leaves a few details for you to take care of after you have finished installing the Startphone OS on your Samsung.
- Deactivate the camera on your Samsung, and cover the front- and back-facing camera with stickers.
- Edit Settings so only contacts can reach your child via calls and texts.
”Parents should delay children’s entry into round‑the‑clock internet access by giving only basic phones… Let kids get through the most vulnerable period of brain development before connecting them to a firehose of social comparison and algorithmically chosen influencers.”
