I built Sidekick for my own family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have two young children and want my kids to have the freedom to ride their bikes, visit friends, and explore the neighbourhood without being given a smartphone or smartwatch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And yet, like most of us, I just want the comfort to talk to them when needed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That is why I created Sidekick – I want to protect their childhood just a little longer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
