Active Buddies

Family activity tracker: parents set goals, kids log them, buddies cheer safely

Overview

Features & Capabilities

Active Buddies turns staying active into a family habit kids actually enjoy — and that parents stay in control of.

Parents set fun activity goals. Kids log what they do. Parents give the thumbs-up. And kids cheer each other on in a closed, parent-approved circle of friends — with no chat, no photos, and no real names. It's healthy movement, healthy screen time, and a healthy social model,
all in one place.

— FOR PARENTS —
• Create child profiles with a friendly nickname, a username and a PIN (no email needed for kids).
• Set activity goals for each child from a built-in library — running, cycling, sports, reading, chores, and more — or add your own custom activities.
• Approve every activity your child records before it counts. Nothing happens without you.
• Track each child's progress with clear dashboards.
• Manage your children's friend connections yourself — you decide who they connect with.
• Full account control, including in-app account deletion.

— FOR KIDS —
• A bright, simple home screen made for children.
• Log activities in a few taps and watch your progress grow.
• Earn achievements for staying active.
• Pick a fun character avatar to make the app your own (no photos — just friendly characters).
• See your buddies' activities on your Friends Wall and cheer them on with positive stickers.

— SAFE SOCIAL, BY DESIGN —
Active Buddies follows the parent-gated model used by the safest kids' apps:
• Children can NEVER add, search for, or message friends. There is no public profile and no way to find strangers.
• A connection between two children exists ONLY after BOTH parents approve it.
• Kids never exchange free text, captions, photos, or real names — only structured activity data ("SpeedyZoe ran 5 km") and a small set of positive stickers.
• Parents can remove any connection instantly, at any time.

— PRIVACY YOU CAN TRUST —
• No ads. No third-party ad networks. No behavioural tracking of children.
• Minimal data: a child's nickname, their activities, and their goals.
• All data is sent securely over HTTPS.
• Built to align with children's privacy rules (COPPA / GDPR-K) through verifiable parental consent.

Active Buddies is for families who want their kids moving, building good habits, and cheering each other on — in a space parents actually control.

Get the whole family active together.
