Why Gabb

Safety Built Into the Device, Not Bolted On

Most parental-control apps try to restrict a device that was designed for adults. Gabb takes the opposite approach: remove the risks at the platform level, then add only what kids need.

No Internet Browser

Kids can't stumble onto harmful websites, because there's no browser to open in the first place.

No Social Media

No feeds, followers, or strangers in the DMs — fewer distractions and less pressure during formative years.

Tamper-Resistant Controls

Parental controls live in the device itself, so they can't be deleted or bypassed like a downloaded app.

One Parent App

MyGabb brings location, contacts, messaging, and device settings together on the parent's own phone.
