A Safer Way to Grow Up Online

The first family-first social network for kids.

A safe place for kids to start being online — connected only to family. Hear a grandparent's voice read a bedtime story, get homework help from an aunt, and grow up connected to real people, not algorithms.

No credit card. Takes about 2 minutes. Your recording is encrypted and never sold.

The Problem

Kids are growing up online — just not with their own family.

Parents don't have time to pass down what they know. Grandparents are never asked. So kids turn to algorithms and strangers for connection and advice, instead of the people who love them most. HeyDad exists to close that gap — with somewhere safer, and more fun, to turn instead.

75%

of U.S. teens have used AI tools for advice and deep conversations.

65%

of parents want to share advice with their kids but say they don't have enough time.

50%

of grandparents have never been asked for advice by a grandchild — though they want to share it.

80%

of grandparents believe passing down life lessons matters more than any inheritance.

Our Mission

The first family-first social network for kids.

Before kids venture into the wider internet, HeyDad gives them a safe starting point — a place to talk, play, and learn with the people who already love them. It's private, it's family-first, and it's where being online starts to feel safe again.

So your children never feel alone — their favorite, safest voices always within reach.

🔒 Private, family-first 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Only your real family ✅ Never sold. Ever.
How It All Fits Together

One family. One safe space. Everything connects.

HeyDad isn't a voice app and a game bolted together — it's one loop, and each part makes the others better.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

Play & Earn

📖

Hear & Learn

Real family voices show up as bedtime stories, homework help, and advice — right when it's needed.

The more kids play, the more family they hear from — and the loop starts again.

Good Questions

What families ask us first.

Who can record their voice?

Only adults (18+). Kids never record or upload their own voice on HeyDad — their experience is limited to hearing content their family's consenting adults create.

Is our data sold?

Never. Your family's voice and stories are used only for the features you turn on — not for ads, not for training anyone else's AI, not for sale to anyone.

Can we delete everything later?

Yes, at any time. Request deletion in your account and everything — including voice recordings — is permanently removed within 30 days.

Is voice cloning available now?

Not yet — recording and preserving your voice is live today. AI voice cloning for bedtime stories and homework help is in active development, and every family who's already recorded will be first to get it.
