"Made it to school, Mom!"
Voice note · 8:02 AM
Childhood has become a difficult balancing act.
Parents want their children to be free. Just not at the cost of attention, wellbeing, or safety.
Smartphones
Too much screen time, social media and constant distraction at exactly the wrong age.
Constant worry
Not knowing whether your child arrived safely shouldn't be the price of independence.
Bulky smartwatches
Expensive, distracting and often banned at school. Made for adults, not for kids.
Meet Fledge.
A pocketable pendant designed for growing kids — and a calm, no-noise app for parents. Built around one idea: stay in touch, stay out of the way.

Good questions.
Is Fledge a smartwatch?
No. Fledge is a screen-free pendant — no apps, games, or internet. Just voice, SOS and location.
Does it work at school?
Yes. Because there's no screen, Fledge is welcome at schools that ban phones and smartwatches.
What about privacy?
We're POPIA-aligned. Location is shared with parents only and never sold. Your family's data belongs to your family.
When will it ship?
We're rolling out to waitlist families across South Africa in waves. Join the list to be among the first.
