    The Screen-Free
    Kids Phone.

    No apps. No ads. No doom-scrolling. Just talking.

    Our Story

    Why We Built This.

    "Our kids are growing up in a world where the first phone they'll get comes loaded with social media, group chats they can't escape, and content we can't control. We wanted a different path — real communication, real independence, without the noise.

    No apps. No ads. No doom-scrolling. Just talk.

    That's why we're building Waffle. A device that lets kids talk, connect, and explore — without the scroll."

    Super simple!

    Chatterbox Home:
    • Find approved contact
    • Call contact (Bestie, Grandma!, Dad!)
    • Or leave a voice note!

    Chatterbox Go:
    • Find approved contact

    • Or leave a voice note!
    Yep! But they'll share everything — same contacts, same voicemail, and you won't know which kid is calling.

    If you want each kid to have their own contacts and messages, grab them a device each.
