The Shielded Path keeps harmful content off your children's devices — automatically, reliably, and without drama. Set it up once. Let it work.
Why Families Trust Us
No confusing dashboards. No tech degree required. The Shielded Path does the heavy lifting so you can focus on your family.
Blocks harmful websites the moment your child tries to visit them — on any network, including cellular data.
Only you can turn off the shield. Your 4-digit PIN keeps kids from disabling protections when you're not looking.
Set daily hour limits per device. Quick presets for school days, weekends, and homework-first nights.
See exactly what was blocked and when. Full transparency so you can have informed conversations with your kids.
Manage phones and tablets for every child in your family from one parent dashboard.
A permanent, always-on protection layer that cannot be disabled — verified against official blocklists from IWF and NCMEC.
Our Safety Promise
Every decision in The Shielded Path was made with one question in mind: what would actually keep a child safer?
Free forever. No subscription, no trial period, no paywall. Protection shouldn't cost a monthly fee.
No ads, ever. We will never show your family advertisements or sell your data to third parties.
Your PIN stays on your device. It is stored locally and never sent to any server.
The CSAM layer cannot be turned off. Unlike other filters, this protection is permanently enabled in every version of the app.
Age-aware responses. Children and adults see completely different block screens — appropriate and honest for each person.
Built by a parent. This app was created by a mother who wanted something better for her own family.
When the CSAM warning screen appears, users are given direct access to report to the FBI at tips.fbi.gov.
The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children CyberTipline (1-800-843-5678) is shown on every serious block screen.
We are working with the Internet Watch Foundation to integrate their verified blocklist feed into the app's protection layer.
Faith & Spiritual Support
The Shielded Path is not a religious app — but we believe that for many families, faith is one of the most powerful tools for healing and accountability. When a block screen appears, optional faith resources are available for those who want them, spanning many traditions.
Integrity Restored — hope and healing rooted in Catholic teaching.
Free addiction recovery program from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Focus on the Family counseling referrals from a Christian perspective.
Celebrate Recovery — a Christ-centered 12-step program open to all.
Jewish Family Service — counseling and mental health support grounded in Jewish values.
Mindfulness-based support for reducing craving and developing self-compassion.
Every block screen includes an optional "Prayer & Reflection" button. When tapped, users choose their tradition and read a prayer privately, without judgment, entirely by their own choice.
