DescriptionMarimba is a protected messaging app for children 7-12. Chat. Photo sharing. Voice messages. Marimba includes the features you expect from a messaging app - plus features designed for childrens safety.SAFE FOR KIDSMarimba was designed from the ground up with childrens safety and privacy rights in mind.--Connect with Trust--Marimba verifies the identity of all new accounts using information from a parent's government issued ID. This helps us make sure parents are engaged while increasing the overall safety of the service.--Small Features Matter--Geolocation filters. Profanity filters. Security alerts for parents. Marimba includes tons of features to keep kids safe.--Serious about Privacy--Marimba is certified by the kidSAFE Seal Program, an independent safety certification service and seal-of-approval program for children-friendly technologies.--COPPA Compliant--Marimba is the first messaging app in the App Store certified by kidSAFE to be compliant with the Childrens Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA).EASY FOR PARENTSMarimba makes it easy for parents to approve connections, set limits, and supervise chat activity.--Approve Friend Connections--Marimba allows parents to review all invitations and friend connections. Approve people you trust. Block people you dont. Change your mind later. Marimba keeps parents engaged and in control.--Monitor Chat Activity--Kids will be kids. And theyll probably need some coaching. Marimba makes it easy for parents to watch conversations in real time. Or scroll back through time to review old messages.--Limit Chat Hours with Parent Controls--Bedtime is important. Marimba allows parents to set automatic time limits with a few taps. After hours, kids see a lock screen and inbound messages simply wait until morning.--No cell phone yet? Parents and kids can share a device--Most 7 year olds dont have a phone. Thank goodness. Marimba makes it easy to share a device within the family. Switching users is fast and parents can quickly silence notifications when its time for work.OUR STORYWe started Marimba to solve a problem. My 8-year-old daughter Annelise wanted to chat with her friends and we couldnt find a safe solution that didnt require us to lie about her age. Annelise had the idea and Im a software product developer, so we built this together as a daddy-daughter project. If you have any ideas about how to improve Marimba, wed love to hear from you.
