Pinwheel helps parents guide their kids to a healthy relationship with technology.

Dane Witbeck, Pinwheel’s CEO and father of four, founded the company in 2019 after his 8-year-old son's best friend got an iPhone. Witbeck and his team created Pinwheel’s unique operating system to support children's growth into adulthood by allowing parents to customize the phone's features. Parents can manage contacts, monitor communications and choose apps to set up the phone for their child's experience level, then unlock additional functionality as they grow.

The first Pinwheel phone sold in 2020 and has grown to serve tens of thousands of families across the country.

Discord's New Safety Tools

Imagine that your local local movie theatre showed everything from the latest Pixar hit to film pornography. A single ticket allows anyone--even children---to enter the front doors and then choose a theater room. Which one shows porn?
