Freshly Brewed Apps

We found this site to have a lot of great information. Did you know that you can take an iPhone and set it up to only call and text? The camera, App Store, and everything can be gone except for what you allow. If this is something you are interested in or need help with, our parental control services are FREE! Check out this site for more information on the benefits of waiting!

Years ago we watched a movie on cyberbullying and how much of an impact it can have on a kid. Unfortunately, as time goes on, the statistics for such harassment has only increased. Follow the link to learn more about the effects that cyberbullying can have.

Cyberbullying and its Harmful Effect on Kids Cyberbullying is listed as one of the most harmful things on the internet for kids. Almost 60% of kids have experienced some form of bullying from social media, online gaming, texting, chat rooms, and forums. Within the ...

After much prayer and discussion, we have decided to change our pricing for the parental control service that we offer. We do not want anyone to miss out because they do not have the income to pay for a service. Making sure families are aware of the dangers and making sure that they have the proper safeguards in place is very important to us. No family should be left out because of budget restrictions, all families deserve to know that their home is a safe place and a place that reflects their morals. Therefore, we have decided to make our parental control service free (with donations welcome-but not required) so that everyone has the opportunity to make their home reflect their standards.

The Wisephone. What is it and how can it be beneficial for you and your family? The Wisephone is a techless phone. It allows you to do only a few things which include: phone calls, texting, camera, maps, calculator, and clock (which features a stopwatch, timer, alarms, and world clock.) They describe their phone as “distraction-fee, ad-free, and addiction-free.” Their phone allows you to control what numbers can call/text as well as turn on or off individual features so you can only have what you find necessary for your family. Wisephone also has secure messaging. What does this mean exactly? They’ve disabled the ability to delete text messages. Messages can’t be deleted and are instead archived to a family portal that you as the parent, guardian, or accountability partner can keep track of. Check out their website to see if Wisephone is compatible with your current carrier as well as their FAQ page for more information!

Are you struggling or have questions as to what effects social media, phones, games, etc. can have on kids, or maybe even an adult -not just physically but also emotionally and psychologically? I would highly recommend reading "Irresistible' By Adam Alter.

This book gives so much insight on how technology can become addictive, interfering with our relationships, and responsibilities. It discusses how our brains work and why we find games, social media, and other apps so rewarding.

At the beginning of 2022 we signed a contract with a local non-profit organization to build an app in efforts to help them become more digital. It has been such a great experience working with this team and being able to help them bring their app idea to life. And, I might add, that it has also been pretty cool watching this app be built from the ground up.

We are also working on our own app with information/videos on what parental controls are available, along with the pros and cons for them, and how to set them up.

Linked below is part 3 to the Lifetalks series that we've been posting about (Understanding Technology and creating Healthy Boundaries). Along with this Lifetalks there is a blog post that digs a little deeper into some of the topics discussed within the video.

The last couple Sundays our church has been talking about media fasting and the effects social media has in our lives. Here is the first weeks discussion- "Can a media fast in the 21st century be as effective as a food fast in the 1st century?" We feel this has a lot of good information and topics to think about!

Do You Control Your Phone or Does Your Phone Control You? I’ve recently come across a podcast that talks about if you are in control of your phone or if your phone is in control of you. I think as we ask this, it is easy to say that, obviously, we are in control of our phones- ...

We are so grateful for all the support we have received! In the near future we plan to have an app designed that will have classes to teach our viewers the different control software that is available. As we begin this phase of our business we would like to hear ideas, thoughts, and suggestions from you about what you would like to see in our classes. If you are not comfortable writing in the comments, feel free to shoot us message or head to our website and email us!

We are excited to hear your thoughts and suggestions!

Once a week we will post a blog to our website. These blogs will cover a variety of different topics (some of which are included in our first blog. Please be advised that this blog discusses a very sensitive topic.)

In this blog we wanted to give some insight on our “why” for starting Freshly Brewed Apps. While app development is part of what we do, it goes deeper than that. We hear a lot of heartbreaking stories from people about their kids being exposed to things that they shouldn’t. We want to create a business that helps people learn how to protect their children and their homes. That is the mission of Freshly Brewed Apps.

Feel free to share our post to help us help others!
