Meet Milo
A smaller web can open up a bigger world
How an approved website list in Milo gives your child a focused starting point for exploring their interests online.

A child who loves space doesn’t need the whole internet to start exploring. A few thoughtful choices can give them somewhere interesting to begin, and give you a clearer picture of where they can go.
Choose the starting point
Milo is built around approved websites. Each child profile has its own list, and websites outside that list do not load inside Milo. It’s a way to choose a browsing space deliberately, instead of beginning with the open web and trying to remove everything you don’t want.
Think of the first list as a little bookshelf: something to read, something to make, and something to investigate. You can begin with the sample collection on the Free plan. Essentials and Plus let you add your own websites and choose more curated collections.
Make room for their interests
Ask your child what they want to find out. Dinosaurs, drawing, animals, and coding are all starting points for a conversation about what belongs on their list. Visit a possible website together before approving it, and look beyond its homepage: try the activities, check its links, and see what asks for an account.
An approved website is still a website whose content can change. Revisit your choices as your child grows and as the sites themselves change. The list is something you can keep shaping together.
Give the rest of the device some attention, too
Milo manages browsing inside the Milo app. It does not restrict Safari, Chrome, other apps, or every way a device can open the web. Your device’s parental controls are a separate part of the setup.
Before handing over the device, use the parent guides to review other browsers, protect parent settings, and test what your child can actually open. Then sit down together and pick the first thing to explore.
