On-Device Safeguarding • HarmBlock

Every child deserves a safe device.

Parents shouldn't have to become technology experts to keep their children safe.

HarmBlock® is the world's first Safe-by-Design AI that helps prevent children from seeing, filming, and sharing explicit content - quietly, privately, and in real-time.

Built into the device. Not added afterwards.

Meet HarmBlock

A new category of embedded, on-device AI safeguarding

Unlike traditional parental controls, HarmBlock helps prevent harmful content before it can be seen, filmed, or shared. Protection works quietly in the background, with no complicated setup and no reliance on constant parental intervention.

Privacy

Safe by Design.
Private by Default.

Everything happens on the device. No cloud connection required.

Images remain on the device and are never uploaded for analysis. HarmBlock is designed to protect children while respecting their privacy, dignity, and independence.

Built into the device. Not added afterwards.

Children experience online harm through cameras, messaging apps, social media, and livestreaming. HarmBlock can be embedded directly into devices, operating systems, apps, and platforms, creating protection from the moment a device is activated.

Why it Matters

Millions of children are exposed to sexually explicit content or are pressured into creating and sharing intimate images every year. Traditional parental controls were never designed to prevent these moments.

HarmBlock was.

Manufacturers

Parents increasingly expect devices to be safe by default. Governments increasingly expect stronger digital protections. 

HarmBlock enables manufacturers to enable privacy-first AI safeguarding directly into devices, creating meaningful differentiation while helping prepare for the next generation of child online safety.

Education
For the Education Sector

Every child deserves a safe device - at home and at school. HarmBlock works quietly in the background, helping schools create safer digital learning environments. While supporting safeguarding, privacy, and wellbeing.

Our Mission

Children shouldn't have to be protected from their phones. 
Their phones should help protect them.

That's the future we're building.
