Everything Owly can do

Everything you need to protect your children, in a single simple and intuitive app.

AI-powered filtering

The web creates thousands of sites every day: no list can hold them all. When your child opens a site Owly does not know, artificial intelligence analyses it and gives it a minimum age: 0, 6, 10, 13, 16 or 18. The site is blocked if your child is younger, and you can lift that block with a single button. The same analysis applies to the titles of the videos watched.

GPS location

Owly uses the phone's GPS to show you where your child is at any moment. Look back through their journey history and make sure they are safe, even when you are not with them.

Screen time

Set daily screen time allowances suited to your child's age. Schedule the hours when the phone can be used and lock it automatically in the evening. Your child can even ask for extra time.

App blocking

Owly instantly detects which app is open and blocks the ones you have forbidden. Block apps individually or by category (social media, games, video). Manage the rules remotely from your own phone.

Safe zones

Draw safe zones on the map (school, home, sports club) and be alerted in real time as soon as your child enters or leaves them. Create as many zones as you need, with the radius of your choice.

SOS button

If something goes wrong, your child taps the SOS button and you immediately receive an alert with their exact GPS position. An emergency ringtone sounds on your phone so you notice straight away.

Web filtering

Owly automatically filters more than 630,000 domains sorted into 14 categories (adult content, violence, drugs and more). Filtering happens on the phone itself, and the data never leaves it. Safe search and YouTube's restricted mode are switched on automatically.
