Why did we create Balance Phone?

We believe kids deserve a healthy introduction to technology without the risks of addiction or distraction. Balance Phone is designed to protect children from the pressures of constant digital stimulation, allowing them to use their phone for communication, learning, and essential tasks only.

What content does Balance Phone block?

Balance Phone blocks all access to social media, pornography, games, streaming services, betting apps and websites. This creates a safe, distraction-free environment where children can access essential apps without the risk of encountering addictive or inappropriate content.

Can my child disable or bypass the restrictions?

No, Balance Phone is designed to be tamper-proof. The software is securely integrated into the phone, making it impossible for children to disable or bypass the protections.

How is Balance Phone different from a parental control app?

Balance Phone is more than a parental control tool—it’s a fully controlled environment for kids’ first phone experience. Unlike apps that require constant adjustments and monitoring, Balance Phone is a complete solution that provides a consistently safe space with minimal intervention. Parents can have peace of mind without needing to check or update settings regularly.

Does Balance Phone allow essential apps?

Yes, Balance Phone supports essential apps for messaging, navigation, music, and other useful tools. This gives children the functionality they need without exposing them to unnecessary distractions.

Can I monitor my child’s phone usage on Balance Phone?

Balance Phone is designed to foster trust and promote healthy tech habits, rather than relying on intrusive monitoring features. By focusing on limiting access to distracting content, it encourages children to develop responsible phone usage. However, if desired, parental control apps like Family Link can be configured alongside Balance Phone for additional oversight.

Who is Balance Phone for?

Balance Phone is the perfect first phone for children, offering a safe and educational introduction to technology. Designed with parents in mind, it helps kids stay connected while avoiding the risks of social media, gaming, and other online distractions. It’s also a great choice for adults seeking to build a healthier, more mindful relationship with their devices.

Why isn’t Balance Phone like a typical smartphone?

Studies show that setting time limits on addictive apps often doesn’t work as kids can easily ignore or bypass them. Balance Phone takes a different approach: rather than managing screen time, we eliminate addictive apps altogether, allowing children to develop a positive relationship with their device.
