SafeSpend protects someone you care for, whether an elderly relative living with dementia or a child, from repeat and impulse online spending. It sees what is being bought, not just how much, and checks with you before the payment can go through.
Free during early access. Works with whatever cards and shops your family already uses — nothing to change, nothing to hand over.
Try it freeA lightweight browser extension recognises checkout pages and reads the actual item and price, so it can spot a duplicate of something bought last week, or a subscription hiding behind a one-off price.
Routine purchases sail through. Flagged ones (duplicates, recurring charges) pause at the checkout while the carer gets a simple approve / decline prompt.
Every purchase lands in a monthly history: what was bought, what was paused, what you decided. A running "saved this month" tally shows the money that didn't leave.
Every family is different, so the checks combine however you need:
Ordering the same item again and again is one of the most common and most distressing patterns families see. SafeSpend catches the repeat at item level and quietly checks with a trusted person first.
First card, real independence, with a carer approving anything that looks like an impulse buy or a recurring subscription instead of a blanket block.
We're inviting a small group of families and carers to use SafeSpend free and help shape what comes next. Partners and carers' organisations, we'd love to hear from you too.
