For families

Protected, not watched.

There is a message you will never see. It arrives late, it is friendly, and it asks your child to keep something from you. Your child never sees it either. RoseShield reads it on the phone, stops it before it is delivered, and tells you it happened — without handing you the rest of their life.

RoseShield protection runs on their phone, tablet or laptop, not in the cloud.

Messages, images, voice and video are analyzed on the device. RoseShield does not send your child’s private conversations to us for review, and does not create a separate archive of them.

RoseShield detects, but you decide. You or the person you designate are alerted to dangerous and inappropriate interactions, so you can protect and guide.

One

Protect
them now.

Harm is found and stopped in the moment it happens, before it reaches your child.

The deal

You hear about the one message that matters.

Most monitoring apps are sold to you against your child. This one is sold to both of you. If they find out exactly what it does, you should still be able to look them in the eye.

Coverage

What RoseShield sees depends on which product you have.

RoseShield Consumer AppBought by a parent
Protection for a family on the phones they already have. Coverage details are published with the app at launch.
RoseShield MessengerCommunication inside it
A place for children to talk where every message, image, call and voice note is read by the engine as it happens. Bounded to conversations that take place in Messenger, by design — that is what it is for.
RoseShield CoreBuilt into the handset
At the operating-system layer, covering every application on the device. Ships through phone makers and mobile networks rather than an app store, so ask yours for it.

Languages and availability

Reading a language and being on sale in a country are two separate things.

The same message, three languagesEnglish, Swahili and French — caught each time, because it reads meaning rather than words.

More than a hundred languages

RoseShield follows what a message means rather than checking it against a list of banned words, which is what allows it to work across slang, creative spelling and conversations that switch between languages. Performance is tested language by language.

Where it is deploying

Agreements are signed with partners in South Africa, Kenya, Uganda, Cameroon, Ghana and the United Arab Emirates, with the first school pilots signed in Kampala. Each is led by an organization in that country — people who know the schools, the families and the law where they are.

Controls

The controls you expect. Protection that goes further.

Screen time, app blocking, approvals and family location are all built in. RoseShield also looks for harmful interactions inside the apps and services your child is allowed to use.

How RoseShield works with your child in the moment — and when it brings you in.

What your child sees

What your teenager makes of it matters more than what you make of it.

If they feel caught, they will look for a way around it. If they feel helped, they are more likely to leave it alone. That difference determines whether RoseShield still works as they get older.

They know it’s there

Nothing is hidden from them. They can see what it looks at, what it can stop, and everything you never get to see. It is a rule in the house, not a trap.

They hear why, not a lecture

When a message is stopped, they get one sentence explaining the concern and a chance to put it differently — not a telling-off, and not a verdict on who they are.

It gets out of their way as they grow

At ten you keep it firm. By sixteen most of it is advice they can take or leave, and you decide when each step happens.

When an alert comes in

When serious incoming content is held

What arrives, what you see, and what you decide.

  1. It does not reach your child

    The message is stopped on the phone before it is delivered. Whatever you decide next, they have not already read it.

  2. You get one notification

    What was found and how serious it is. Not the conversation, not a transcript, not a feed.

  3. You open it and see the reasoning

    Why the engine judged it serious — the pattern it recognized, over what period. Enough to make a decision, and nothing beyond that.

  4. You choose what happens

    Talk to your child, keep watching, report it to the platform, or contact the authorities where appropriate. If you believe RoseShield got it wrong, you can release the message. Each is a choice you make, not a setting the software applies for you.

  5. Your child is told what you were told

    Not that you were angry, not what you decided — only that an adult was notified and why. Discovering hidden monitoring later can seriously damage trust.

  6. If you need help deciding

    Alerts carry links to relevant support resources where available.

Every decision from here is yours: who you tell, what you say, and when it is finished.

And it changes as they grow up.

RoseShield never asks your child their age. You set the limits, and you loosen them when you decide they are ready.

10Their first years with a phone

You set it firm.

For younger children the limits can stay firmer, and the explanation your child sees stays simple. Higher-risk content is blocked outright.

13Around thirteen

You start easing it.

From your dashboard you loosen the lower-risk limits as your child is ready for more independence. Change it back whenever you want.

16Around sixteen

You hand most of it back.

More interventions can become advice they can take or leave, with hard limits kept for serious risks. You decide when that changes.

Older teenagers need more room to make their own decisions.

How you get it

What you get: RoseShield on the phones your children already carry, with the limits set by you. What it costs: a monthly subscription per family — serious-harm detection and the alert that comes with it are never behind a paywall. What happens next: join the list and you hear the day it is available, with the price, before anyone else.
