Raising children to be people first in a
digital world.

Arriving this Christmas.

A phone in a titanium frame, tilted, with a text chat open. A friend named Emma and the owner of the phone agree to ride bikes to the park after school.

The waitlist

Let us begin with your family. Leave your email, and we will write to you about Fledge.

We do not ask for a child's name or birthdate, because your email is enough for us to write to you.

We collect only your email. We use it only to contact you about Fledge. We never sell it. To unsubscribe or ask a question, email: [email protected]

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.

Setup

Setup is guided. Fledge works with iPhone.
