Code9 Mobile

Code9 Mobile is a cutting-edge parental control smartphone application, designed to provide parents with detailed insight on how their children use their mobile phones.  This innovative software helps parents and kids stay connected, while helping parents protect their children from unsafe mobile behavior like sexting and cyber bullying.

Through the software’s exclusive features and comprehensive online summary reports, Code9 Mobile offers parents the tools they need to gain awareness of kids’ lives without spying, and encourages kids to use their cell phones in a responsible way while maintaining a level of privacy.

Code9 Mobile is recommended for children and teenagers from nine to 17 years old, to help families establish rules for acceptable mobile usage.  Parents find the software is easiest to implement at an early age during the onset of the child’s first mobile experience, and continues to provide enhanced insight into mobile activity and behavior as the child grows.

Code9 Mobile was developed in 2011 by father of two and technology entrepreneur, Chet Thaker and his wife Julie Dobson, after she expressed concern that their daughter may be experiencing bullying and harassment via her cell phone.  Inspired to create a service to help parents establish appropriate cell phone usage rules while protecting children from unsafe mobile behavior, Chet and Julie developed Code9 with a team of leading mobile application engineers.
