    Every layer of protection your child needs, in one app

    Most parental control apps do one thing well. Helmit brings AI chat monitoring, screen time, app and web filtering, live location and a parenting assistant together, for every child in your family.

    • Catches what a keyword filter misses

      Grooming, cyberbullying, hate speech, self-harm, sextortion, drugs and scams, recognised from context and tone.

    • Every alert explains itself

      The reason in plain language, the risk level, the platform and the messages that triggered it.

    • Teach it what matters to you

      One tap on Yes or No tells Helmit whether to alert you about that kind of message again.

    More platforms are on the way. New ones appear in the app as soon as they are ready, so your child stays protected wherever they go next.

    Screen time that fits your family's day

    Not one blunt daily limit. Three modes per child, limits per weekday and per app, and routines that switch themselves on.

    • Three modes, three sets of rules

      Free Time, Study and Sleep each carry their own limits and allowed apps.

    • A different limit for every weekday

      2h 15m on Monday, 2h on Tuesday, 1h on Wednesday. Set once, repeats every week.

    • Limits per app, not just per phone

      TikTok 30 minutes, Instagram 30 and YouTube an hour, all inside the same daily budget.

    • Routines that run themselves

      Bedtime from 11pm to 9am, homework on weekdays from 5 to 7. Helmit enforces it.

    • See where the time actually goes

      A weekly chart with your average, plus a per-app breakdown for any day.

    Block what shouldn't reach them

    Two layers: what your child can install and open, and what the browser is allowed to load. On the whole device, not just in one app.

    Block apps and categories

    • Block any app or a whole category

      Flip a switch on TikTok, Instagram or Discord, or block every game at once.

    • Age ratings and new installs

      Restrict apps by age rating and stop new downloads before they land on the phone.

    • Web protection built in

      Helmit's secure VPN filters unsafe sites in every browser: malware and phishing, adult content, drugs, gambling, piracy and social media.

    • Your own blocklist and SafeSearch

      Add specific websites, and keep Google, Safari, YouTube and Bing on child-appropriate results.

    Know they got there safely

    One map for the whole family, and a notification when they get where they are going.

    • Everyone on one map

      Where each child is right now, with the time of the last update.

    • Arrive and leave alerts

      A notification the moment your child reaches school or leaves again.

    • Save the places that matter

      Home, school, a grandparent's, football practice. As many as your family needs.

    Know they got there safely
    What a location alert looks like

    One button when they need you

    Your child holds the SOS button in their Helmit app for five seconds. Every parent in the family gets an urgent alert with their location, even when the phone is on silent.

    • Their location comes with it

      The alert carries where your child was standing when they sent it, so you do not have to ask first.

    • It gets through a silent phone

      SOS arrives as an urgent alert, so a muted phone at the bottom of a bag still gets your attention.

    The SOS button in your child's app

    Your personal media literacy expert

    Helmit sits inside the app, trained on our online-safety library. You get an answer that fits your child's age, not a forum thread.

    • How much screen time is right?

      Age-specific guidance, with the reasoning behind it.

    • Is this app OK for my child?

      Age ratings and the real risks behind them: Roblox, Discord, TikTok, and whatever comes next.

    • How do I bring this up?

      Wording for the difficult conversations, from the first phone to an alert you just received.

    Your personal media literacy expert

    Stay ahead of what your child is seeing

    A library inside the app that explains the trends, slang and platforms shaping your child’s day.

    • Articles from our safety team

      The manosphere, digital red flags, new slang: written for parents, not researchers.

    • App reviews before they download

      What an app actually does, who your child can talk to on it, and the age it really suits.

    • Something new every week

      Online risks move fast. New articles and reviews land every week.

    Stay ahead of what your child is seeing

    Protection that respects your child's privacy

    You don't read their chats

    Helmit shows you the messages behind an alert, not their whole chat history.

    Encrypted, and stored in the EU

    Every connection is TLS-encrypted and everything we store sits on servers in the EU.

    You decide what is monitored

    Exclude individual chats, or narrow monitoring down to group chats only.
