Made for real people
Tech is easier when you can practice first
Most of us learned by being afraid to press the wrong thing. Here, every button is safe to try.
Worried about scams
Practice on fake scam texts and emails, so you know the warning signs when a real one shows up.
Helping a parent or grandparent
Give them a safe place to build confidence, so they can do more on their own and call you less for tech help.

Questions
Good questions, simple answers
Is it a real phone or computer?
No. SafePC and SafePhone are practice versions that run inside your web browser. They look and work like the real thing, but nothing you do goes anywhere: no real calls, texts, emails or payments.
Can I break something or lose my data?
No. That's the whole idea. You can press any button, delete files or change settings, and your real phone and computer are never touched.
Do I need to install anything?
No. Everything opens in your web browser, on a phone, a tablet or a computer. If you like, you can add SafePhone to your home screen so it opens like an app: on a phone, tap your browser's menu and choose "Add to Home Screen"; on a computer, click "Install" in the address bar.
Who is TryTechSafe for?
Anyone who wants to feel more confident with technology: beginners, seniors, people who just got a new device, and families who want to help a loved one learn.
How much does it cost? Can I cancel?
You can start for free with 5 lessons on each device. SafePC Pro or SafePhone Pro unlocks every lesson on that device for $9.99 a month or $81.99 a year. Both devices together cost $12.99 a month or $105.99 a year. Yearly plans save 32%. You can cancel anytime, and you keep Pro until the end of the period you paid for.
Can I share my account?
An account can be used on one device at a time. If you sign in somewhere else, you're signed out of the first device, and your progress is saved either way.
Is TryTechSafe made by Apple, Google or Microsoft?
No. TryTechSafe is an independent training tool. It is not made by, endorsed by or affiliated with Apple, Google, Microsoft or any phone or computer maker.
