Solving screen time.

An award-winning screen time management and parental controls solution, Circle’s mission is to make families’ lives better online and off.

Circle is devoted to helping families thrive with technology and with each other. We envision a world where families find balance, set healthy limits, build good habits, and get the best out of their digital experiences, rather than being consumed by them. Circle’s screen time management and parental control solutions are the easiest and most comprehensive way to manage all your family’s connected devices—everywhere. Circle also collaborates with strategic partners to bring our service to more families.

“The timing is perfect. Parents are increasingly looking at ways to make sure children and teenagers do not become addicted to screens.”
—TechCrunch

“Regardless, many technology-industry veterans are taking their own measures. Fadell, whose family has no-screen Sundays, uses a product called Circle that sets online time limits and blocks certain content.”
—Bloomberg

“Circle Media Labs, the company behind Circle with Disney, is synonymous with helping parents maintain the time spent on digital devices.”
—Forbes

“Netgear now offers Disney parental controls for your home network through its Nighthawk and Orbi routers. Circle with Disney allows parents to control how long their children are online and filter which sites they can access.”
—The Verge

“IF THE WEB were an amusement park attraction, you’d have to be 10 feet tall to ride—it's terrifying enough for adults and a funhouse of horrors for kids, from inappropriate content to unkind comment sections to outright predators.”
—WIRED

“For kids who use multiple devices, computers, tablets, gaming consoles, Circle works on all of these to keep track of time and then turn it off…. You can do the kill switch on Fortnite parents!”
—Becky Worley, Good Morning America
