Tiny Internet
Windows & macOS · Beta
The Tiny Internet icon: a small house and tree inside a warm circle.

Built for tiny explorers

A smaller internet.

A tiny world of websites you choose for your child to explore, with nowhere else to wander. No open web, no search, and no links leading somewhere you didn't approve.

The whole idea

You write the list.

Most filters try to guess what's bad and block it. Tiny Internet works the other way around — nothing opens unless you choose it.

A normal browser

Search, feeds, ads, recommendations, and links leading to more links. The internet never ends, and nobody chose what comes next.

Tiny Internet

A short list of websites you choose — and that's the whole internet.

Anything not on your list simply doesn't open — and your child gets a friendly note saying so.

What it does

Three things, done properly.

Links can't wander

A link off the list stops right there. So do pop-ups and redirects.

Ads and trackers removed

Blocked before they load. Calm View removes autoplay videos and clutter from busier sites.

No search, nothing recommended

There is no search box and no feed. Nothing is suggested, autoplayed or queued up next — the only way anywhere is the list.

Privacy

What we don't collect.

This is the part worth reading twice. Children's software should be especially careful with privacy.

  • ✕No account. No email address. Nothing to sign up for.
  • ✕No analytics, no usage tracking, no crash reporting.
  • ✕Your child's browsing is never sent to an AI service.
  • ✕Nothing about your child reaches us. There's no server to reach.

For honesty's sake

What does leave the computer.

You shouldn’t have to dig through a privacy policy to know what leaves your computer.

  • →The sites your child visits are requested from those sites, the way any browser works.
  • →An ad and tracker blocklist is downloaded when the app starts, so blocking stays current.

The history stays on your computer. Records of what your child visited are kept locally, shown only to you, and deleted after thirty days.

For grown-ups

You choose, they explore.

One password

Settings and parent controls stay behind one password.

What they actually visit

A simple local history of what opened and what was blocked.

Requests, not arguments

When your child wants somewhere new, they send a request for you to approve or decline.

Getting it

Still an early beta.

Tiny Internet is being tested with a small group of families.
