Rilo
Chat. Call. Be Close.
Free · In-App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
A phone for your kid that only calls people you've hugged.
Voice calls and messages between your child and the people you choose. Nobody else. Nothing else. There is no search, no discovery and no friend suggestions, so there is no way for a stranger to reach your kid.
HOW IT WORKS
You create your child's account from your own phone, and it is signed with your key. There is no sign-up a child can complete alone, and no "I am an adult" box a child can tick.
You add people with a one-time invite from a grown-up. Nothing connects until a grown-up says yes, and when two children are introduced a grown-up on each side has to say it. Any of them can cut a contact later, and it stops working straight away, even mid-call.
WHAT CHILDREN CAN SEND
Typed messages and a set of fox stickers. No photos, no video and no voice notes between children. The camera is there to read an invite code and to take a contact's picture, which never leaves the phone.
WHAT GROWN-UPS CONTROL
Calling and messaging can be turned off for one contact or for everybody. A child can fetch a grown-up from any screen, and the grown-up is told. Removing a contact takes effect immediately.
WHAT WE CANNOT SEE
Calls and messages are end-to-end encrypted. The server introduces two phones and then cannot read a word that passes between them. There is no advertising, no analytics and no third-party tracking of any kind.
WHAT IT COSTS
Rilo is free to install, and setting up your first child starts free. After that a subscription covers the children on your account: one tier for a single child, one for up to six. Both can be paid monthly or yearly, and the price is shown in your own currency before you buy anything.
Grown-ups are never charged. Not the other parent, not a grandparent, not a child's friend's family. A subscription renews itself until you cancel it in your App Store settings.

Ratings & Reviews
- This app has not received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
Fixes a problem where messages on an iPhone could disappear.
If the phone was locked when Rilo woke up for a new message, the app could lose the conversations it already had. That no longer happens, on grown-ups' and children's phones alike. Messages already lost cannot come back, because they were only ever on the phone.
Nothing else changes, and your messages still stay on your phone only.
