Overview
We started Tin Can because we couldn't find a phone we actually wanted to give our kids. Everything out there felt like a compromise -- too much tech, too much access, or just another screen to manage. We didn't want that. We just wanted our kids to be able to call their friends. Safely. Independently. And without unlocking the entire internet.
