Gabb builds phones and watches for kids that skip the open internet: no web browser, no social media, and no app store — just calling, texting, GPS, a camera, and a short list of preloaded apps.^1 Founder Stephen Dalby started the company in 2018 after looking for a first phone that would not hand his children the whole web.^2
The current lineup is the Gabb Watch 3e for younger kids (ages 5–12), with calling, texting, GPS, Safe Zone alerts, and the Gabb Go activity app, and the Gabb Phone 4 for tweens (ages 9–14), with parent-managed contacts and the same locked-down design.^1^5 Both run on Gabb's nationwide wireless network with unlimited talk and text as part of a subscription plan.^1
Families who want safer streaming can use Gabb Music on a Gabb device or on any iPhone or Android. It is a curated, ad-free library that filters explicit lyrics, artwork, and other adult content.^6^8 Parents manage devices through the MyGabb companion app.^9
Gabb's public mission is to help parents protect childhood with safer tech.^10
