Field notes
The proposed setup splits messaging between a child-facing device with a keyboard and paper-like screen and an iPhone app for the parent. The page says the pairing is limited to one phone and that the child cannot add contacts. It also describes messages as end-to-end encrypted; the site gives no sale or purchase path, and says testing is underway with a few families.
