For guardians who want their kids connected, not hooked.
Your kids want to share their lives. You want them close to the people who love them, without an app built to keep them scrolling. OurDot is built for exactly that.
You start the family, invite only people you trust, choose each child's age range, and set school, sleep and game-time limits. Your child can always reach you on the guardian line. It's free, with no ads.
What you control
- Who's in the family, and removing anyone instantly
- Each child's age range and privacy level
- School-time and sleep-time locks
- Daily game time per child
- Group chats and who's in them
- Bigger, simpler screens for little ones
What you never have to worry about
- Strangers finding or messaging your child
- Ads, purchases or loot boxes
- Public like counts or follower numbers
- A feed that never ends
- An adult other than a guardian messaging your child one-on-one
Getting started takes two minutes
Start your family on the web, then invite your kids, a co-guardian and your trusted adults. Kids sign in with your email plus a tag, like you+leo@gmail.com, so their codes come to you.
Built on research, honest about limits
Every control in OurDot links to the research behind it, like screens and sleep and phones at school. Some evidence is strong and some is mixed, and we say which. No app replaces an involved guardian, so OurDot also teaches kids, in three-minute lessons, what to do when something online feels wrong.
