The first phone designed for kids — not retrofitted for them.
No predator DMs. No sextortion vectors. No 3am infinite scroll. No "free" games siphoning subscriptions. ShieldsOn Phone is the first mobile device built from the ground up around how children actually grow up online — with safety as the operating system, not a settings page.
Reserve a safer first phone.
Be among the first parents invited to buy when it launches later this year.
Everything wrong with a kid's first smartphone — removed by default.
Most "kid-safe" phones are just adult phones with a content filter app glued on top. Predators, scammers, and addiction-engineered apps still get through. We took a different approach: design the OS so the threats can't exist in the first place.
No anonymous DMs
Strangers literally cannot message your child. Conversations only happen with contacts a parent has approved.
No sextortion vectors
Image checks run before any photo is sent. Suspicious requests are flagged. Predator scripts are recognized in real time.
No predatory app stores
The default app catalog is reviewed for safety. No loot boxes targeting children. No "free" apps with $99 subscriptions hidden in the fine print.
No infinite scroll at 2am
Wind-down hours are built into the OS itself, not an app the kid can uninstall. Bedtime is bedtime.
No spyware "monitoring"
This isn't surveillance. Parents see what was blocked — not their child's private conversations. Trust stays intact.
No data harvesting
No ad networks. No behavioral profiles. Your kid is not a product being sold to advertisers.
What's there instead.
A phone a child can grow up with — that earns more freedom as they earn more trust. Built around the ShieldsOn safety platform parents already use to keep their families safe online.
Built-in scam & predator detection
Every incoming message, call, and link is checked against the same ShieldsOn engine that protects thousands of families — quietly, on-device.
One-tap parent help
If anything feels off — a weird DM, an awkward photo request — one big button loops in a parent. No shame, no friction.
Built-in Learning Center
Bite-sized, age-appropriate lessons on spotting scams, handling pressure, and what to do when something online makes them uncomfortable.
Healthy by default
Wind-down mode, school-day focus, and no infinite scroll. The phone helps your kid put it down — without a power struggle.
Earn-it-back rewards
Completing safety lessons or chores unlocks new apps, time, or privileges. Parents stay in control without playing villain.
Family Agreement, baked in
The phone walks kid & parent through a real, mutual agreement at setup. Boundaries everyone signs — not boundaries imposed.
One phone that grows with your child.
The same device unlocks new capabilities as your child gets older — without having to buy a new phone every two years.
The "starter mode" phone
Calls & texts to approved contacts only. A handful of educational apps. No browser, no DMs, no chat games. Just safe communication with the people who matter.
The "tween" phone
Approved apps unlock. Limited browser with safe search. Image checks before sending photos. Wind-down at 9pm.
The "trust-as-earned" phone
Most apps available. Privacy of conversations preserved. Parents still see what was blocked — not what's being said. Safety stays on; the leash comes off.
Our promise to parents — and to kids.
We do not read your child's messages. We do not sell their data. We do not show them ads. We just stop the things that hurt them — and tell you when we did.
Reserve your child's first phone.
Launching later this year. Invites go out in waves — the list is how you skip the line.
