You set the rules. We make them hold.

A parental-control service that works at the network level rather than on the device. You choose which services (Roblox, YouTube, TikTok and more) your child’s device can reach, and you change that from any browser on your phone or computer.

No. You use it from any browser on your phone or computer, like your online banking. There is nothing to download for you, and no app is required on the device your child uses, because the HushHold Child app is optional.

New access to a service you have put on hold stops working within about thirty seconds. Anything your child already has open usually ends within a few minutes, once they move on to something else, the device sleeps, or the service reconnects. A game that is already running can keep going until they leave it. Turning a service back on takes a minute or two. We would rather tell you that plainly than promise you an instant that no network-level control can honestly deliver.

You can do both. Switch a service off or back on in the moment, or set a schedule that runs on its own. Many parents keep Roblox off through the school day and homework and off at bedtime, then let it come back at a set time. You set the routine once and it holds without you having to be there.

Yes. Invite the other parent into your family and you both hold the keys. Either of you can pause or release a service from your own phone, and you both see the same rules. There is no single keeper of the passwords, and no waiting for one person to be home to change something.

Screen Time is free and worth setting up. But rules are easier to set than to keep. Ofcom found that 89% of parents of 8 to 17 year olds say they have rules about their child’s mobile phone use, so the rule itself is rarely what is missing. Passcodes get guessed, clocks get changed, things get deleted and reinstalled. HushHold works through a profile installed in the settings on the device rather than through an app, so deleting an app does not turn HushHold off.

A VPN is the classic way past a filter, so HushHold blocks the VPN and proxy services children typically reach for. No filter can honestly promise to catch every trick, but this closes the most common one, and it is the door most screen-time tools leave open.

There is a one-time setup on each child’s device, about two minutes, and we walk you through it. After that, everything is remote.

No. Health and other critical services always stay reachable, even when you pause everything else.

iPhone, iPad and Mac at launch, with Android coming later. HushHold works on a child’s phone, tablet or Mac, not on games consoles such as a Nintendo Switch, PlayStation or Xbox, and not on smart TVs. Tell us what your family uses when you join. It genuinely shapes what we build first.

If you want them to, yes. An optional reward chart lets a child earn time on the services you choose, banked as minutes to spend later. It is entirely optional and set per child, off until you switch it on, so families who do not want it never see it.

Pricing is settled at launch. Waitlist members get founding-family pricing, our thank-you for being early.

Yes, and by design rather than by promise. We build to United Kingdom GDPR as our baseline, and every family gets those same protections wherever they live. HushHold is not a surveillance tool. We control which services a device can reach. We never read messages, see photos, or keep a history of the pages your child visits, and the system is not built to store any of that.

We are building toward late 2026, waitlist first. Joining now puts you at the front of the line.
