Or your money back

Try the LaunchPad risk-free for 60 days*

Is your child anxious, depressed and not getting enough sleep? Is a smartphone or social media to blame?

The LaunchPad was designed to both help parents delay the introduction of smartphones, and if too late, help parents return their child from the depths of smartphone and social media addiction. It helps parents gradually introduce (or reintroduce) social media in a highly restricted and supervised way. Through a series of stages that teach your child important life skills, a child will ultimately learn how to be safe and productive with social media and smartphones. How to Delay the Smartphone.

The Launchpad is the first personal computer designed specifically for children and parents. It changes how children use tech by breaking up screen life into three distinct uses - Education, Exploration and Entertainment - each with their own operating modes, limits and parental control settings. And all modes allow parents the ability to remotely monitor their child’s activity with use logs and on-demand or periodic high resolution, time stamped screen images.

Education modes keeps students on task when reading, writing, researching, completing homework, studying and participating in online instruction, tutoring and lectures. No distractions. Learn More

Exploration modes allow a child to learn about enriching interests such as music, art, science, technology, engineering, math and so much more without the temptation of mindless entertainment. Learn More

Entertainment modes, unlocked after schoolwork, chores and responsibilities are met each day provide age appropriate video gaming, streaming and chat in a safe, highly restricted and supervised manner. Social Media access is age restricted and can have separate use limits. Learn More

The LaunchPad can help parents limit entertainment screen time and bring back reading, outside play, extracurriculars and off-screen enrichment activities.

Education modes keep students on track with no notifications (except from you), video gaming, social media or chat - and no video watching except for content you have authorized.

Exploration modes replace mindless doom scrolling with productive exploration of valuable hobbies, interests such as art, science, music, history, life skills and so much more without the temptation of mindless social media or short videos.

Guided Instruction, one of the Education modes, provides a distraction free learning environment with curated and parent selected content. Learn More.
