The age-verification transition tool

The whole age-check transition, handled.

The rules on proving age online just changed for everyone. Homeling is the one tool for all three groups caught in it: the sites that must verify, the parents whose kids got pushed off, and the kids who need somewhere to go.

Whoever you are in this, there's a Homeling for you

The age-check rules hit site owners, parents and kids at the same moment. We sell to all three, on one verified-age credential. Start with yours.

For parents

Homeling Family

Get an alert the moment your child opens a banned app, installs a new one, or hits hours of screen time, and check their usage any time on a simple dashboard. You see the behaviour, never what they watched. Plus the allowed apps set up, a family agreement, and peace of mind.

For kids

Homeling Space

A real social app for under-16s, built around the people they know: group spaces for their class and team, a friends-only feed, group chats, and vetted creators to follow. Everyone is verified as a real kid, parents approve connections, and there are no ads or stranger DMs.

For site owners

Homeling Verify

Age-check your forum, game, app or social network in an afternoon. One line of code, never touch an ID, £18M of fine exposure removed.

9 in 10

For parents

Back the under-16 ban and want help. Their kids got pushed off the apps. Now what is allowed, and where do they go?

4.7M

For kids

Accounts removed in Australia in two weeks. The UK ban lands Spring 2027. They have nowhere compliant to gather.

Three groups, the same scramble, and no single tool that helps all of them. Until now.

For sites, forums & apps · Homeling Verify

Comply in an afternoon, never touch an ID

One line of code covers UK, Australian and US age rules. The gate picks the cheapest method that works and escalates only when it must.

Doing it yourself is a trap

  • Enterprise IDV (Yoti, Persona) is built and priced for big platforms
  • Building it yourself is a months-long specialist project
  • Ignoring it is not an option: fines reach 10% of turnover

What Homeling Verify gives you

  • One script tag, live the same day
  • Auto-switches rules by visitor: UK, AU, US
  • Never sees or stores an ID document
  • Ofcom-ready audit trail, ready for the 2027 rules
£18M (or 10% of turnover) of fine exposure, removed. Live the same day.

For parents · Homeling Family

Their kid got cut off overnight. The worry landed on you.

Homeling Family turns the worry into a plan, and pays for itself the way Bark and Greenlight already do: peace of mind.

What keeps parents up at night

  • Nearly half of teens on AI chatbots report a harmful interaction
  • Sextortion reports to child-safety lines run ~137 a day
  • The ban pushed kids to VPNs and darker corners
  • Parents feel powerless and guilty, with nowhere to turn

How Homeling Family helps

  • Tells you what is safe and compliant for each child
  • Sets up the good alternatives (YouTube Kids, messaging, Space)
  • A family agreement everyone signs, so it is not a fight
  • Conversation-starting alerts, never spying on your child

Alerts that start conversations, not fights

See enough to guide. Never enough to spy. The same promise as "we never read your ID."

The line we hold

We alert on behaviour

  • which app, and how long
  • a new app installed, or a blocked one opened
  • their Homeling ID used at an age gate

We never

  • ✕read their messages
  • ✕tell you what they watched
  • ✕hide any of it from your child
Every alert is a nudge to talk, not a gotcha. Behaviour, never content. Your child sees the same dashboard you do.

For kids · Homeling Space

A real social app, built for under-16s and the people they know

Homeling Space gives kids back what the ban took: a place to post, chat and follow what they love, rebuilt around their actual friends instead of an algorithm full of strangers.

What kids actually get

  • Circles for their class, team and club: a shared space and group chat for each real-life group
  • A friends-only feed: posts, photos and short videos from people they actually know, newest first, no algorithm
  • Vetted creators and clubs to follow: art, gaming, sport and music, all age-appropriate
  • A profile and the social stuff that matters: reactions, status and belonging, minus the toxic comparison
  • Things to do together: weekly prompts, challenges and clubs, so coming back is not endless scroll

Why parents say yes

  • Age-verified members only, on one Homeling ID
  • The parent provisions the account and approves connections
  • No stranger DMs, no infinite scroll, no ads, no data sale
  • On-device moderation for bullying and grooming
Each approved family pulls in the friend group. A safe space only reaches kids by being where the friends already are.

One credential ties it all together

Verify once, reuse everywhere. That is the moat, not any single app.

1

Verify once

A parent vouches, or a certified provider checks, a single time.

2

Get a Homeling ID

A privacy-preserving age token. The document is never stored.

3

Reuse everywhere

Verify, Family and Space all read it. A service gets a yes or no, never your data.
