Aussie technology company, Spacetalk, has responded to the challenges of the increasingly complex modern family life with an innovative new approach to keeping loved ones and families connected and safe with its technology, globally.
Parents and carers are relying on multiple apps, devices, and communication channels to manage their households and multi-generational caring responsibilities.
Based on over 20 years experiences in this space, Spacetalk unveils next-generation app and all-in-one platform for connection, safety, and simplicity.
Spacetalk’s platform also uniquely offers a dedicated mobile network for families, with value for money SIM plans designed for use across all devices which can be moved from a Spacetalk watch to a smartphone when tweens make the transition.
Family freedom, safety, and connection
The new Spacetalk Freedom Platform enables parents and carers to manage life’s complexity in one secure ecosystem. Families create dedicated Spaces on the app for the people that matter, whether for the close family, sports’ team or school parents. Spacetalk’s platform also has watch and mobile SIM offerings for family members without a smartphone, ensuring everyone is safe and connected, while supporting freedom and independence across generations.
Admin members who set up the Space have ultimate control over the group, but can invite trusted contacts like grandparents, uncles or nannies to also connect in to share the burden of care as a community.
Spacetalk’s key features for safety and family freedom include:
- Spaces: Secure app-based groups that bring together the people that matter: tweens, teens, grandparents, uncles, whoever needs to be in the loop. Spaces have feelings check-in and chat functions so everyone can stay connected whether they’re using the app or a Spacetalk watch.
- Safe Places & Routes: Members set up their crew’s safe Places (e.g., home, work, Grandma’s house) and Routes (e.g., the walk to school) and receive notifications when loved ones arrive at or leave a designated location, or if they go off course.
- Map View: A real-time overview of where all family members are as they live their lives, all in one space with key information about battery life, location and wellbeing.
- SOS Alerts: Immediate notifications when urgent assistance is required.
- School Mode on watches and Wellness Tools: Support for tweens’ and teens’ focus and wellbeing, alongside reassurance for parents.
Memberships to suit all families: Spacetalk offers three membership tiers. Lite is a free version of Spacetalk designed to give Members a taste of the Freedom Platform; Plus, which also comes free with all mobile SIM plans, is ideal for mid-sized families with features like five Spaces, Routes and Places; while Max provides the ultimate Spacetalk experience, including 99 Spaces and unlimited Routes and Places.
“Families should not need multiple apps and devices to stay connected and look out for each other. We designed Spacetalk as a Freedom Platform: one app, one view, where families can stay in touch, manage responsibilities, and support independence safely and simply,” said Simon Crowther, CEO of Spacetalk.
“We’re also proud to be a privacy-first Australian-owned company, meaning we store data locally, and never sell personal information or use data for advertising, giving families a truly trusted solution.” Crowther added.
From December 2025, in time for Australia’s upcoming under-16’s social media ban, Spacetalk app users will have a cutting-edge digital safety feature blocking access to inappropriate content, websites and social media. Spacetalk Mobile customers will be able to use this premium feature for free. Parents will have complete control over which websites and apps are blocked via the Spacetalk App.
Free one-month trial of Spacetalk Plus for new users
Spacetalk has a range of watch, SIM plans and membership options that deliver affordable, reliable connection for everyone in the family, whatever their age or device. Spacetalk Mobile SIMs are designed for use across all devices and can be moved from a watch into a mobile phone when tweens make the transition.
The app is free to download, with Spacetalk offering all Members one month free of the Plus membership when they first join so they can explore everything the Freedom Platform has to offer. Spacetalk Plus is also free for all Spacetalk Mobile customers.
Whether it’s knowing your child got home safely, checking in on grandparents, or coordinating your family’s day, Spacetalk makes family safety simple. To learn more visit spacetalk.co
