Take the Parent Survey
A new category of child communication
Kyngo is a Trusted Connection Device designed for children. It gives families trusted calling, live location and emergency support, without social media, cameras, apps or open internet access.
We are gathering honest feedback before Kyngo moves into development. Choose the survey that best matches you.
Tell us what matters most when your child starts travelling independently.
Take the Parent SurveyHelp us understand what would make Kyngo useful, comfortable and something children would actually carry.
Take the Child SurveyShare your views on phone-free schools, safeguarding and whether Kyngo could fit within school policy.
Take the School SurveyA simple way to call and know where their child is.
No social media, cameras, group chats, games or open internet.
A small, customisable device that helps them stay connected without feeling like a tracker.
Kyngo is designed to bring all three together.
Kyngo is not a smartphone, smartwatch or ordinary GPS tracker. It is a purpose-built Trusted Connection Device for children.
Kyngo is defined as much by what it leaves out.
Each key from 1 to 9 represents a trusted contact.
The small screen displays Mum, Dad or Nan. Optional spoken names can be enabled by the parent.
The red button ends or cancels the call.
Parents choose the School Lock schedule. During those hours, normal calls are blocked, incoming calls do not ring and approved missed calls are recorded. GPS and safety functions remain active.
The child cannot change contacts, settings or emergency behaviour on the Kyngo device.
Children choose a case and accessories that feel like theirs — so Kyngo is something they want to carry, not something they're told to.
Every case protects the sides and back while leaving the screen and buttons fully exposed — so calling and emergency use are never blocked.
Kyngo is currently in the validation stage. The device shown is a product concept and final features, pricing and availability may change following research, technical development and safety testing.
No. Kyngo is a Trusted Connection Device. It can make and receive calls with parent-approved contacts only, and it deliberately leaves out the parts of a smartphone that cause concern — no camera, apps, games, texting or open internet.
No. Kyngo has no texting, no browser and no app store. Communication is limited to voice calls with the trusted contacts a parent has approved.
No. Only numbers on the parent-approved contact list can reach the device. Calls from any other number are not put through.
School policies differ. Kyngo is being designed to remove many of the features schools object to, but each school will decide what devices it permits.
Kyngo will require mobile connectivity for calls, location and safety alerts. Pricing has not yet been finalised and forms part of the current parent research.
Parents can view the device's current and last-known location in the parent app, with the time of the most recent update clearly shown. Location is visible to the parent only.
No. Contacts, School Lock hours and emergency behaviour are managed from the parent app. The device itself keeps things simple: press a number, press green, talk.
Kyngo is currently in the research and validation stage. Timelines depend on the outcome of family and school feedback, technical development and safety testing. Joining the waiting list is the best way to follow progress.
