13–17 year olds and the adults deciding what they are allowed to use.
What it looks like in Naven: a screenshot of the app.
The problem
Every app a parent approves of is socially dead, and every app the teenager wants is moderated only after something bad has already arrived.
How Naven handles it
Messages are screened before they send — the twelve categories are published, and harassment and solicitation are stopped rather than reported.
Slurs and strong language do not send, and the reason is shown to whoever wrote it. Disagreements, insults and dark humour are not screened, so it does not feel like a supervised playground.
No public directory, so strangers cannot search for and message a teenager.
Parents get a real answer about safety without reading their child's messages.
What it costs
Nothing. Naven is free, with no advertising, no paid tier and no data sale. There is no card, no trial and no phone number.
