THE SAFE BROWSER FOR KIDS

The internet is an ocean. Teach them to surf it.

Shaka is a web browser built for kids — and a lifeguard app built for you. It grows from a hand-picked cove to open water as your kid earns it. And nothing happens in secret, in either direction.

Shaka Safe
Your app. Their ocean.
The internet is one big ocean.
Shaka is where kids surf it — games, videos, homework, all of it. One browser, built for them from the first tap.
You are the lifeguard.
You watch the water from your own phone with Shaka Lifeguard — and surf alongside them, not over their shoulder.
No secrets out here.
Kids always know what you can see. You always promote out loud. That honesty is what keeps the water open.
How it works

In the water in two minutes

Two apps, one family. You get Shaka Lifeguard; they get Shaka. A wave code links them.

1
You get Shaka Lifeguard
Sign up and set up their surfer account. One question — “which one sounds like your kid?” — picks a starting rank.
2
They scan the wave code
Your screen shows a one-time wave code. Their device scans it, and the two apps are linked for good.
3
Everyone surfs
They explore at their rank; you see the waves. Blocks become questions, and promotions happen together.
The four ranks

It grows with your kid

From a cove you build tile by tile to open water with a light touch. Go by readiness, not birthdays — ages are just weather.

Explore the ranks →
The Cove
Pip
You build every tile — no search, no strangers.
The Reef
Squid
A reef to roam and a way to ask. Search works, heavily filtered.
The Shore
Grom
Roams the web behind a strong filter. Blocks become questions.
Open Water
Charger
Open water, light touch. You see the waves; nothing is secret.

For lifeguards

You watch the water, not a dashboard of dials

Blocks become questions your kid can send you. Every week, the Tide Report tells you where they surfed, what they asked, and what got flagged — in plain words, not charts.

Approve “Ask to surf here” requests in one tap
A timeline with flags — not a minute-by-minute log
Promote ranks any time, together, out loud
This week’s Tide Report
Mon–Sun
Calm week in the reef
Maya explored 41 sites — mostly art tutorials and a whale-facts rabbit hole.
2 asks, both answered
She asked to surf a Minecraft forum and a craft-supply shop. You said yes to both.
1 flag, handled
A search skirted the filter on Tuesday. Shaka blocked it and told her why.
Shaka hand

No secrets. In either direction.

Kids know exactly what their lifeguard can see — it’s on the first screen they ever meet. Parents promote out loud, like earning a new belt. No spyware, no silent tightening, no secret dials. That trust is what keeps the water open.
