What is Kiddofy?
Kiddofy’s app is a safe browser for children that allows access to approved webpages only and keeps parents in control.
Parents use Kiddofy to manage their child’s access to Web content and review their activity. It makes adding allowed content easy and its patented technology helps parents provide their children high quality, appropriate, personally relevant content.
Additionally, content Collections curated by the team at Kiddofy, and other Kiddofy users their parents trust, ensure children never run out of discovery, fun, and learning.
Who is Kiddofy For?
Kiddofy is for families who want to keep their children safe on the Web.
It’s for educators / homeschoolers, friend groups, youth groups, coaches, and communities who want to connect children with the right content easily and safely, in the classroom, at home, and on the road.
It’s for kiddos who are excited to learn, play, and explore with the amazing resources available to them online.
What Makes Kiddofy Special?
Kiddofy’s approach to safety is simple: we block everything, put parents in full control, and then help them add back the parts that are best for their children.
Some families use Kiddofy solely because it’s an outstanding set of tools for managing a child’s access to the Web. But Kiddofy is more.
When you start by blocking everything, parents have the challenge of re-populating their child’s personal view of the Web. Kiddofy’s patented technology uses trust, controlled by parents, to help with this.
Parents optionally trust others they know (Kiddofy Friends) to safely share appropriate content. Kiddofy makes it easy for parents to review what’s been shared, remove what they don’t like, and block anything they don’t want shared again.
Sharing Examples...
Families:
As a parent, safely share a webpage (or whole website) with your child using the Kiddofy app or straight from your favorite browser. Kiddofy notifies your child and adds it to their collection of approved content – no extra steps. Optionally trust other family members to do the same so grandparents, aunts, siblings, and others can share recipes they find, news about a scientific discovery, cute videos, etc.
Homeschoolers / Educators:
As a homeschooler, create your own Collections of websites for your children and control them all in one place. Share Collections amongst your co-op to spread the work of curating content across grade levels, subjects, and occasions.
As a schoolteacher, create and share Collections of classroom and homework websites so students have safe access at school and from home.
Kids Sharing with Kids:
Add other kiddos as your child’s Kiddofy Friends and allow them to safely share their approved content with each other. Kiddofy keeps you in control while they have fun and begin to develop online skills.
I love that this app lets me curate content for my kids and also provides great default curated content I can trust. A++
Is NOT immune to Ads
3v3ryN1ckn@me1s60n3
I went through the process of getting this working, and putting it on my kiddos phone, banning all web browsers, disabling log out, checking the differences with different ages set, and so forth. When I saw a lingerie advertisement on an approved free dictionary website for 10+, I knew it was a matter of how strong the dns with malware remove option was. I found that DNSSecure with LibreDNS (Block Ads/Trackers) was strong enough when running in the background to prevent this sort of advertising insanity. Kiddofy is very nice once it is set up, but you need to deal with the Ads so your kid doesn’t have to.
Developer Response
Thank you for your thoughtful feedback and sharing your insights / approach regarding ads. As you stated, Kiddofy does not attempt to filter ads from webpages, so parents – and the Kiddofy team – must be discerning when approving content. We’ve removed the dictionary website from Kiddofy’s collection of curated content. Parents can always approve it, or something better, for their kiddos at their own discretion. Thank you for helping children enjoy the Web safely!
Safe content kids actually enjoy

The best part about Kiddofy is that it does not just block bad stuff, it actually curates good content for kids. The science sections and animal live cams are my favorites because they keep kids engaged and learning without me having to worry about what else might pop up.It is simple to use and makes the internet feel like a place where kids can explore safely and get real value. That is what every parent wants.
Awesome App!

This app has been great for homeschooling. My kids LOVE it. Anytime they want to research something I can simply send them a video or website to their Kiddofy account right from my phone.
