1
Prepare
Complete short lessons, review dated guidance, choose someone you trust, and set a Family Safe Word if you want one.
A simple family plan for uncertain moments
Prepare before something feels urgent, check only what you choose to submit, and involve one trusted person only when you want their help.
From preparation to follow-through
2
Pause and check
Paste message text or a website address. BoomerBuddy explains warning signs, unknowns, and safer actions without opening the submitted address.
3
Connect by choice
Share only a redacted result with one exact Trusted Circle person. Other household members do not automatically gain access.
4
Follow through
The chosen person can acknowledge review in the app. The owner can record that the concern was handled; closure is self-reported.
Between suspicious messages
Practice a safer response before pressure hits
Learn at your pace
Seven short lessons turn common scam patterns into practical pause-and-verify habits.
Review current guidance
Read dated, source-linked US guidance, with state guidance only where reviewed content is available.
Use a weekly practice prompt
Choose whether to show a short pause-and-verify prompt in the in-app learning feed. This does not send an email, text message, or push notification.
What stays under your control
