How It Works

From account setup to everyday use

  1. Choose Starter, Family, Premium, or Premium Plus. Every plan includes the same 3-day free trial.
  2. Create and verify the parent account. Use the Android Parent App or any modern browser. Both apps are listed on the Download page.
  3. Start the 3-day free trial. Secure Stripe checkout requires a payment method. Billing starts automatically after 3 days unless you cancel.
  4. Add each child and enroll the Android device. Enter the short-lived code from the parent dashboard on the child device.
  5. Tell your child before you enroll. Show them the app, explain what it collects, and answer their questions. NestPatrol is visible by design and may not be hidden.
  6. Review required permissions together. Setup is visible, and the child can see that NestPatrol is installed.
  7. Choose settings and test protection. Configure alerts, routines, location, and approval rules that apply to the selected plan.
  8. Review alerts with context. Use category, severity, confidence, explanation, and available evidence before deciding what an alert means.

What NestPatrol does not do

  • It does not contact schools, police, or any other organization for you.
  • It does not call emergency services. If your child is in danger, call 911 or your local emergency number.
  • It does not decide what an alert means. You do.
  • It does not work on iOS.
