The Shielded Path keeps harmful content off your children's devices — automatically, reliably, and completely free.
No subscriptions. No ads. No data sold. Ever.
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. No gaps in protection.
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 verified against official blocklists from IWF and NCMEC. This cannot be turned off — by anyone.
Permanently EnabledEvery decision in The Shielded Path was made with one question in mind: what would actually keep a child safer?
No subscription, no trial period, no paywall. Protection shouldn't cost a monthly fee. Every family deserves it.
We will never show your family advertisements or sell your data to third parties. Period.
Your PIN and settings are stored locally and never sent to any server. No central database that could be breached.
Unlike other filters, this protection is permanently enabled in every version of the app — no exceptions.
Children and adults see completely different block screens — appropriate and honest for each person.
