palim. A quick ring, no phone number needed.

palim is a chat for children and their families, built and run by upbyte®. Children meet up for cycling, swimming or homework. They can only write with friends that both families have approved.

A chat built for children

Most messengers are made for adults. They usually need a phone number, and anyone who knows the number can write.

With palim, a parent sets up the family and links the child's device with a code. A new friendship starts as soon as the parents of both families say yes.

What the team built

Apps for iPhone, Android and browser

Own apps for iPhone and Android and a web app for any browser. One family, all devices.

Approval by both families

Every new contact needs a yes from the parents on both sides. Then the children write one-to-one or in groups.

Tools for parents

Parents see who their child writes with, block single contacts, set quiet hours and send a ready-made message like "Dinner is ready" with one tap.

Run in Germany

palim runs on servers in Germany, operated by upbyte®, with no ads and no tracking. One button deletes the family with all its data.

From idea to app in the store

palim is a complete messenger: parent view, linking by code, friend codes, group chats, a report button and automatic translation when children speak different languages. Apps, server and operation come from the upbyte® team.
