Built by Parents. Engineered for Peace of Mind.
“Life is lived in the real world, around the fire, with family and trusted community.” (Base B Corporate Constitution v1.2 & Vol 16 §1). We believe digital communication should serve human flourishing, protect restorative sleep, and strengthen family trust. Rather than demanding endless attention, Braai is built from the ground up with positive architectural guardrails: natural circadian sleep locks, total adult-to-minor shielding, meaningful age-bracket peer discovery, and empowering parental partnership with dignity.
The 6 Pillars of Sovereign Family Protection
Children and teenagers experience a fundamentally different, respectful environment designed specifically for healthy development:
1. Circadian Sleep Locks & Bedtime Guard
Technology should rest when children rest. Automatic sleep locks engage during evening hours (e.g. 21:00 to 06:00), suspending notification wakeups and transitioning the screen into a calm dormant hearth to protect restorative sleep.
2. Total Adult-to-Minor Shielding
Minor accounts are structurally invisible to adult strangers across the entire network. There is no public search index, no unvetted cold messaging, and no algorithmic engine placing children in front of unknown accounts.
3. Strict ±1 Year Peer Discovery
Adolescents connect with real-world classmates, verified family circles, and peers within ±1 year of their verified age bracket, fostering age-appropriate friendship and mutual understanding.
4. Parental Partnership with Dignity
1-tap cryptographic pairing between parent and child devices. Parents maintain clear oversight over new external circle connections, event RSVPs, and daily spend limits without intrusive spyware or eroding trust.
5. Minor Gathering RSVP Guardian Gate
When a teenager RSVPs to a physical braai, sports match, or community gathering, the linked guardian instantly receives a push authorization alert with verified host details and fuzzed location for 1-tap approval.
6. 100% Pre-Funded Youth Pockets
Daily pocket money allowances for school tuckshops and sports events on Account 1010. Strict zero-credit status ensures minors can never incur debt, overdraft fees, or hidden interest charges.

School Classmate Connection Request
A verified classmate within the ±1 year bracket requested a connection. An out-of-band notification is dispatched to the Guardian Dashboard for one-tap authorization.
On-Device Safety Sentinel: Protection Without Surveillance
Safety should never come at the cost of your family’s personal privacy. Here is how our on-device safety sentinel operates:
Local On-Device AI
FlameFilter runs directly on local phone hardware before messages are encrypted. It intercepts abusive language and scams in real time without sending private family chats to remote servers.
SQLCipher Vaults
All private messages, family photos, and memories decrypt only in temporary on-device hardware memory. No unencrypted copies are retained or analyzed in the cloud.
Zero Public Vanity Counters
No public like counts, follower tallies, or ranking leaderboards. Communication is focused on authentic connection with people you actually know.
Zero Infinite Scroll
Every circle feed has clear, natural stopping points. When you have caught up with your family and close circles, the app lets you know that you are all done.
Tri-Jurisdictional Statutory Alignment for Family Peace of Mind
Braai adheres strictly to global standards of child safety, consumer protection, and privacy by design:
POPIA Section 35
Strict statutory prohibition against processing minor personal information without affirmative competent person consent.
GDPR Article 8 & UK AADC

National Credit Act (NCA 34/2005)
