Our Mission
KEEPING EVERY CHILD
SAFE ONLINE
We believe every child deserves a safe digital experience — and every parent deserves the tools to make that happen. Cylux was built by parents, for parents.
Our Story
Built out of frustration
by parents who needed better
In 2024, our co-founders Alex and Priya were comparing parental control apps on the market. Every single one had the same flaw: their kids could uninstall them, open a private browser, or use a different device entirely.
As an Android platform engineer and a Google engineer, they knew exactly why those apps failed — they lived in the application layer, where any determined kid could bypass them in minutes.
So they built something different. Cylux operates at the Android MDM (Mobile Device Management) layer — the same technology used by corporations to secure employee devices. It can't be uninstalled, bypassed, or disabled without the parent's permission.
Today, over 50,000 families in 180+ countries rely on Cylux to keep their children safe — not just monitored, but genuinely protected.

What We Stand For
OUR VALUES
Privacy First
We collect only what's needed to protect your child. Data is encrypted end-to-end, never sold, and always under your control.
Always-On Protection
OS-level enforcement means protection survives device restarts, app uninstalls, and every workaround a tech-savvy kid might try.
Family-Focused
Every feature is designed with real family dynamics in mind — not just blocking, but helping parents build healthy digital habits.
Transparent by Design
Children know they're being monitored — we believe in building trust through honest conversations, not covert surveillance.
