What we are building
Free safety apps that put prevention in every pocket
Awareness is prevention, but awareness fades and danger arrives at 11 p.m. on a phone. These planned apps turn what AIP teaches into tools families, teens, schools and front-line workers can use in the moment it matters.

Why apps, and why AIP
AIP’s mission is to stop the exploitation of children before it happens. Our talks, courses and playbooks reach people in a room. Apps reach them later, alone, at the moment a stranger sends the wrong message or a teen is too scared to tell anyone. That is when prevention either works or fails.
Our team brings decades of cybersecurity, digital forensics and intelligence experience. Professionals in those fields use tools that spot attacks early, preserve evidence and respond in the right order. We are adapting those same ideas to protect children, in plain language anyone can use, and never to watch, collect or investigate.
For parents and caregivers
AIP Family
For parents, grandparents and anyone raising a child. iPhone and Android.
How it serves the mission: Most of AIP’s work is teaching families what to do before something goes wrong. This app puts those lessons in a parent’s pocket, so the right step is one tap away at the worst moment.
First Hour
Walks a parent through the first hour after a child is threatened online: what to say to your child, stop replying, don’t pay, what to save, and where to report.
Why it matters: Panic leads to mistakes, like paying or deleting evidence. A calm checklist protects the child and the case.
Evidence Locker
Helps you save the right proof (usernames, profile links, dates) before the other account disappears, and turns it into a summary you can give to NCMEC or the police.
Why it matters: Offenders delete accounts fast. Saved details help investigators. The app refuses to store explicit images, because no one should keep them.
App Field Guide
Shows which ordinary features in popular apps and games predators misuse, and exactly which settings to change to close them.
Why it matters: Most risky contact starts through normal features like direct messages, gifts and location maps. Small setting changes block a lot of it.
Photo Privacy Scrubber
Removes hidden location data from photos before they are shared, and points out giveaways like school logos or street signs.
Why it matters: A single photo can reveal where a child lives or goes to school.
Call Verify
Keeps your family’s safe word and gives you a simple script when a call or text claims a loved one needs money or secrecy right now.
Why it matters: Criminals now clone voices from short videos. A safe word and a call-back stop the scam.
Family Drills
A five-minute weekly practice: “What would you do if…?” with a short talk-through after.
Why it matters: Children who have practiced saying no and telling an adult are far more likely to do it for real.
Removal help
Sends families to the free, trusted services that remove intimate images (NCMEC’s Take It Down for anyone under 18, StopNCII for adults) without anyone ever seeing the image.
Why it matters: Getting an image taken down is often a child’s biggest fear. Knowing it can be done helps them speak up.
For teens
AIP Teen
For teens 13 and up, used on their own terms. iPhone and Android.
How it serves the mission: Teens are often the first to see danger, and the last to tell an adult. These tools give them a private, judgment-free way to check what is happening and get help.
Is This Sketchy?
A teen shares a message they received and the phone checks it for warning signs, such as flattery plus secrecy, pressure to move apps, requests for photos, threats or demands for money, then explains them in plain words.
Why it matters: Grooming and sextortion follow scripts. Spotting the script early lets a teen walk away before it escalates. It runs on the phone and tells no one unless the teen chooses to.
Link X-Ray
Checks a link from a stranger, like “free game currency” or “verify your account,” for fake look-alike sites before the teen taps it.
Why it matters: Fake links steal accounts, and stolen accounts are used to target friends.
Scam-Proof
Short practice chats, clearly labeled as fictional, where teens learn to spot a manipulation script and exit it.
Why it matters: Practice builds the confidence to say no in the moment.
Upstander Kit
What to say and do when a friend is in trouble, how to report inside an app, and how to bring in a trusted adult.
Why it matters: Teens tell friends first. Helping the friend respond well can change everything.
For schools and youth groups
AIP Schools
For school leaders, counselors, coaches and faith or club leaders. Computer and iPad.
How it serves the mission: Schools are where AIP trains the most people. These tools help staff respond correctly to an incident, meet the law, and close the gaps that put children at risk.
School Incident Lead
Guides a school through a student image incident or disclosure: who does what, the 24-hour reporting deadline, a task list, parent letters, and a review afterward.
Why it matters: A badly handled incident can harm the student twice. A clear plan protects the student and the school.
Mandated Reporter Assistant
Explains Nevada’s 24-hour reporting rule in plain steps, who to call, and how to write down only the facts.
Why it matters: School staff and volunteers are required to report. Many are unsure how, and delays put children at risk.
Safeguarding Check-Up
A youth organization answers simple questions about its policies, like never one adult alone with a child, and gets a ranked list of gaps with fixes and matching training.
Why it matters: Most abuse in youth settings happens through predictable gaps that a good policy closes.
Tabletop Practice
Runs a realistic practice scenario for staff, with timed updates, roles and a debrief.
Why it matters: Teams that rehearse respond faster and make fewer mistakes when it is real.
For front-line workers
AIP Front Line
For hotel, casino, rideshare, airport and healthcare staff. iPhone and Android.
How it serves the mission: Las Vegas welcomes millions of visitors, and trafficking hides in plain sight. The people at the front desk, on the casino floor and behind the wheel are often the only ones in a position to notice.
See It, Report It
A discreet checklist of warning signs based on behavior, never on appearance, with safe steps to take and one tap to the National Human Trafficking Hotline or 911.
Why it matters: Staff who know the signs and the safe next step can interrupt trafficking without putting anyone at risk.
Shift Brief
Short safety updates for venue security teams, ready for a two-minute briefing at the start of a shift.
Why it matters: Patterns change, especially around big events. Teams that hear about them early can act early.
Behind the scenes
The tools that keep everything current
Flash Wire
Watches trusted public sources for new scams aimed at children, and turns them into alerts and lesson updates once a person at AIP has reviewed them.
Why it matters: New scams spread in days. Families and schools need to hear about them before the evening news.
Tactics Map
A plain map of the tactics predators use, with the warning signs and the fixes for each, written so it teaches protection, not harm.
Why it matters: It keeps every course, drill and app consistent and up to date.
AI safety gate
Blocks any text involving a child from ever reaching an outside AI service.
Why it matters: This keeps AIP’s promise not to collect or share children’s information.
Our promise
Built to protect children, not to collect them
- Nothing about a child leaves the phone. Where a tool needs to think, it does so on the device.
- No spying. Teen tools are started by the teen. Family tools are open, never hidden from a child.
- Never an explicit image. The apps refuse to collect, keep or forward them, and send families to trusted removal services instead.
- No playing detective. Every app points to NCMEC, the trafficking hotline or 911, never to confronting or investigating anyone.
- A person signs off. Software never accuses anyone, and every alert is reviewed by a named person at AIP.
- A quick way out. A quick-exit button and private mode for anyone who may be watched.
These rules come from AIP’s zero-surveillance charter. Any idea that would break one is not built.
Get involved
Help bring these apps to life
Building free, safe apps takes developers, designers, reviewers and funding. Every gift to AIP supports this work, and volunteers with the right skills can help directly.
Safety is built before the crisis
Pick your part and see it through. Prevention works when people follow through.
