Hand over the screen without handing over control.

Salva helps families stay calm, aware, and in control of shared device use — with gentle boundaries, privacy-first protection, and less everyday chaos.

Currently in private beta for selected Android testers. 100% private by design.

What is Salva?

Salva is a parental screen-lock and device management app for Android. It prevents accidental touches during calls, videos, and device handoffs, and includes parental controls, screen time management, smart automations, and a family dashboard. Salva is designed with privacy-first principles — it does not read messages, record calls, or track real-world location. Available on Android 8.0+ with a free tier and a 7-day free trial on all paid plans at launch.

How Salva fits into family life

01The everyday chaos

Parenting is chaotic enough. Your devices shouldn’t be.

From toddler taps during a video call to pocket dials, accidental interruptions, and the daily friction of handing over a phone — shared devices can create constant low-level stress. You should not have to hover over every moment just to feel comfortable.

  • Accidental taps during calls
  • Pocket dials and bag taps
  • Kids exiting videos

02The shield

Quiet protection. Calm awareness. Less checking.

Salva works quietly in the background, helping you guide device use without turning family life into surveillance. It gives you the control to set boundaries, the visibility to stay informed, and the confidence to hand over the phone with less worry.

Features

Everything you need. Nothing invasive.

Hover over a card, tap it, or use its + button to see how it works in practice.

Frictionless Protection

Lock the screen during calls, videos, or handoffs to stop accidental taps before they create chaos.
In practice

Switch it on your way: tap the Floating Shield Bubble, shake the phone to lock, or let Pocket Mode lock automatically in a pocket or bag.

Family Snapshot

See a simple, privacy-conscious view of device activity and family protections at a glance.
In practice

The Family Dashboard shows every household device, its protection status, and recent activity in one place.

Smart Automations

Create helpful rules that activate automatically during handoffs, downtime, or screen-use routines.
In practice

Smart Rules switch protection on when apps like YouTube or Netflix open, and Scheduled Protection runs on the days and times you choose.

Privacy Controls

Choose what stays on-device, what gets shared, and how Salva works across your family.
In practice

Content scanning is performed entirely on-device, and Salva never uploads the contents of your screen. No ads, no ad trackers.

Built to protect your family, not profile it.

Salva is designed to reduce stress, not expand surveillance. We believe family protection should feel calm, transparent, and respectful from the start.

No invasive monitoring

We do not read messages, record calls, or track real-world movement.
What that means

Salva does not include advertising SDKs or ad trackers, and we never sell your data.

Privacy-conscious by design

Where possible, protections and rules are handled on the device itself.
What that means

Screen Sentinel scans on-device and never uploads the contents of your screen. Only when one of your keywords matches does it send a short excerpt — at most 200 characters — deleted after 7 days.

Clear and understandable

What Salva does is visible, understandable, and under your control.
What that means

Crash reports go to Firebase Crashlytics. Firebase Analytics runs only if you opt in — it is off by default. You can delete your data at any time from the app.
