About Tin Can - Companion App
Tin Can: The Kid Phone That’s All Talk. Remember when phones just made calls? When your best friend’s number lived in your head and your social network was whoever answered the landline? Tin Can brings that freedom back — but for your kid. It’s a screen-free phone that runs on Wi-Fi and only calls approved contacts. No apps. No strangers. No doom scrolling. Just grandparent chats, playdate plans, and “Can I stay five more minutes?” calls. The Tin Can companion app gives parents (and only parents) the behind-the-scenes magic that controls their Tin Can phone: • Approve who they can call (and who can call them) • Set call hours (like bedtime is not party line time) • See call history • Share your Tin Can with friends to grow the crew • Control multiple cans from one place (power move) Tin Can: Built for kids. Approved by the same generation that made prank calls on rotary phones.
