Approved contacts only
Kids message and call people you allow—nothing else.

The problem
Kids' phones and tablets run on apps built to harvest attention and data. Strangers, ads, and endless feeds are the default—and parents are left trying to patch holes after the fact.
How it works
Three steps to a calmer, private digital home.
-
Plug in your TinyWeb box
A simple self-hosted server runs the open-source TinyWeb stack in your house—your family's data stays with you, not on Big Tech servers.
-
Add your family
Set up profiles from one parent dashboard. Private messaging and calls stay inside your network.
-
Approve who they talk to
Kids can only message contacts you approve. Quiet hours turn messaging off at bedtime. Only parents see location. Link with other trusted families through an easy invite.
Built for parents
One simple dashboard. Clear rules. No strangers.
Quiet hours
Messaging turns off at bedtime so devices can rest too.
