Most filters fail silently. Shieldora blocks adult sites on your child’s iPhone, tells you when a site is blocked or a browser is allowed, and lets you know if protection stops or the phone goes quiet.
Coming soon. A$14.99 a month for the whole family, or A$119.99 a year. Founding price, locked while you stay subscribed. 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 goes quiet, 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 24 hours, not an alarm. Screen Time being turned off is the one that matters. Shieldora tries to tell you straight away. If that alert can’t get through, the phone goes quiet, and 24 hours of silence always reaches you.
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. It shows what Shieldora will do at launch. Some of it works now, and the rest, such as the alert when a site is blocked, lands before we open to families.
Nothing reported across your 2 children.
If it stops checking in, you’ll hear.
Turning a protection on takes effect straight away. Turning one off needs a code from your authenticator app.
Required to turn protections off and to delete the account.
Send yourself a test alert to confirm Shieldora’s alerts reach your inbox, and learn how to keep them there.
Deletes your account and everything on it. You’ll be asked to confirm before anything happens.
The child app
No login, no dashboard, nothing to switch off. Just what a parent has set, and who to ask if something stops working.
The settings a parent chose are applied. Shieldora checks in regularly, and if it stops hearing from this phone, a parent is told.

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. It never names the site itself, in the notification or in the app.
What's never in an alert: search terms, typed text, messages, browsing history, or screenshots. A block alert names the child, the device and the time, and never the site. We don't build a browsing history of your child's sites for you to read.
FAQ
The exceptions that matter: a site being blocked, Screen Time being turned off, the phone going quiet for 24 hours, 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 switched off, Shieldora tries to alert you straight away. If that signal does not get through, the phone falls silent, and silence that lasts 24 hours reaches you on its own, so a switch-off does not stay hidden.
No. A block alert names the child, the device and the time, never the site itself. And we don’t build a browsing history for you to read, so the alert tells you that a site was blocked, not where your child went.
No filter is perfect, and some content will get through. What we focus on is different and, we think, more useful: if the filtering stops running, Shieldora tries to tell you, and a phone that goes quiet for 24 hours will reach you on its own. That is the failure that actually leaves a child exposed, 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 the version where Shieldora can watch for Screen Time being turned off, on top of noticing when the phone goes quiet. 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 guard it in a way it can’t stand behind.
Shieldora isn't released yet. Join the waitlist and you'll be among the first families we let in.
