a kids phone built for real-world adventure
Freckle is a phone that offers kids more tools to explore the world, free from feeds designed to pull them away from it.
Powered by our own ClayOS, Freckle molds itself to each kid’s needs, and reshapes as they grow.
Freckle is for families learning how to give kids more independence without opening every door all at once.
So we made an app where parents can set the pace, and introduce new capabilities over time.
Frequently asked questions
What's the intended age range?
Freckle One is designed for kids ages 7 & up. The experience can evolve as they grow, with parents able to adjust features and access based on what feels right for their kid and family.
How much does it cost?
The device is $199. Freckle Wireless is $25/month and includes 2GB of cellular data plus access to all Freckle apps and features.
Can my kid download apps or browse the web?
No. Freckle does not have an open app store or unrestricted web browser. Parents choose which Freckle tools their kid can access.
How does the parent app work?
The parent app gives parents a window into your kid’s Freckle experience. Parents can approve contacts, manage app access, view their kid's location, and send quests that inspire new adventures.
How does Freckle protect my kid’s privacy?
Freckle is designed to collect only the data needed to make the experience work. Parents can review and delete individual activity at any time, or erase their kid’s data entirely.
Who can my kid call and message?
Kids can only call, message, and video chat with contacts approved by a parent. Their number isn’t publicly listed, which helps keep spam and unwanted calls out.
What's in the box?
Each shipment comes with the device, a protective case, and four Dot accessories to personalize it.
When will my Freckle ship?

How does the subscription work?
