A calm start
Fledge helps parents introduce their children to a phone and guide its wise use. It is meant to teach them to control their own time with a device, and to protect them from abusive, exploitative, and explicit material. A fledgling leaves the nest gradually, watched and guided, until your guidance gives way to their independence. Fledge is the on-ramp to good adult digital behavior, not a children's toy. You are the customer. Your child is told that you set the rules. Nothing is hidden, because a habit lasts when it is understood.
What you can expect
These are the outcomes Fledge will offer.
- You set separate rules for each child.
- The phone checks in with you on a regular schedule. If a check-in is missed, other apps and websites are paused until the next check-in. Calls, maps, payments, and a few built-in apps stay available.
- Text and SMS reminders come to you.
- A parent view shows each child's status and the next check-in.
