Most filters fail silently. Shieldora blocks adult sites on your child’s iPhone, and tells you when a site is blocked, when a browser is allowed, or when the phone stops checking in or reports that protection was turned off.
Coming soon. $10 AUD / family / month, one subscription for however many children. The waitlist is for early access.
The problem
A filter a child can quietly disable isn’t protection. It fails without a sound, and nothing arrives to tell you it stopped.
It happens on a screen in another room, and nothing reaches you. Most parents find out long after, if at all.
What Shieldora does
When an adult site is blocked, when a browser is allowed, or when your child’s phone stops checking in or reports that protection was turned off, a notification lands on your phone with the child, the device and the time. You don’t have to go and check.
A phone going quiet usually just means it’s switched off, flat, out of signal, or that iOS has paused Shieldora’s background checks, so that one is a gentle heads-up after about a day, not an alarm. Screen Time being turned off is the alert that matters, and Shieldora tells you when it happens.
And it can’t be quietly removed first: there is no Shieldora screen that turns protection off, and lifting it in iOS Settings needs the parent’s Apple Account password, not the child’s passcode, not their Face ID.
The parent app
The parent app isn't finished yet. This is the design we're building to, not a screenshot of working software, so treat it as where it's heading rather than what you'd get today. Everything on these two screens is something Shieldora actually does.

No spam. We’ll only email you about Shieldora.
We collect your email address, the date, and the page and link you arrived from. We use it for one thing: to email you when Shieldora is ready. We don’t sell it or pass it on. How we handle your information.
What you'll see
Every alert names three things: the child, the device, and the time. The blocked adult site itself is only ever shown inside the app, behind your login, never in the notification.
What's never recorded: search terms, typed text, messages, browsing history (sites that weren't blocked), or screenshots. When an adult site is blocked, Shieldora records that site, the time and the device, and nothing else. Sites that weren't blocked are never recorded.
FAQ
The exceptions that matter: an adult site being blocked, Screen Time being turned off, the phone going quiet for about a day, or you allowing a non-Safari browser. Each comes with the child, the device and the time. Nothing about what your child searched or typed.
No. We don't collect search terms, typed text, messages, or a history of sites that weren't blocked. That's a deliberate line, not a feature we haven't built yet.
No. There is no Shieldora screen that turns protection off, and the app can't be deleted. Lifting it means going into iOS Settings, where iOS asks for the parent's Apple Account password, not the child's device passcode or Face ID. And if protection is ever switched off, you get an alert, so it can't happen quietly.
When an adult site is blocked, the alert names the child, the device and the time, and the site itself is shown inside the app, behind your login. What we never build is a browsing history: sites that weren’t blocked are not recorded, so there is nothing of that kind to hand over.
No filter is perfect, and some content will get through. What we can promise is different and, we think, more useful: you will know if the filter stops running, which is the failure that actually leaves a child unprotected, and the one most filters never mention.
Shieldora uses filtering built into iOS, on your child's iPhone or iPad. The filtering happens on the device itself.
Safari, including private browsing. Other browsers are blocked by default. You can allow one if your child needs it, and we'll warn you that content inside it isn't filtered.
Your child’s iPhone or iPad needs to be on iOS 26.5 or later. That’s what lets Shieldora reliably tell you if protection is ever turned off. Your own phone can be on an older version. If your child’s device is behind, Shieldora asks you to update it before setting it up, rather than protect it in a way it can’t stand behind.
