Help build a moreprotective future.
We're building WatchDogue as a Public Benefit Corporation — technology that protects families instead of harvesting them. Your support helps us finish the framework and put a faithful guardian in every home that wants one.
No spam — we never sell or share your email.
Where your support goes.
Every contribution moves the same four things forward — the foundation, the apps that sit on it, the family space, and the privacy promise underneath it all.
Finish the framework
The shared foundation every guardian is built on. Funding lets us harden it, document it, and open it up for new watches to plug into.
Ship the apps
The first guardians — for inbox, calendar, and the streams that fill your day. Polished, calm, ready to live with your family.
Build the family space
A private, owned place for your household — kids, parents, and grandparents — where the algorithm and the strangers don't get a vote.
Keep it private
The promise that the watching stays at home and your data is never for sale. That promise costs work — your support is what pays for it.
Built for families, not against them.
The modern internet harvests families and sells them back to themselves. The platforms our kids grow up on were built to hold attention and collect data — not to respect a household, and certainly not to protect one.
We chose Public Benefit Corporation status so the company itself is bound to its mission. Supporters aren't buying a software license — they're buying the path to a guardian that works for families instead of against them, and a company that can never quietly pivot away from that promise.
Your family's life is yours. We're building software that respects that.
Questions.
Is my data really private?
Yes — it's the whole point. WatchDogue does its watching on your own device, and nothing leaves it unless you choose. No ads, no tracking, no selling your information. Ever.
Do I need to be technical?
No. WatchDogue is built for everyday families. You choose what you'd like it to watch over, and the guardian does the rest.
What does it cost?
We're still finalizing pricing. Early supporters and waitlist members will hear first — and will get the best deal we offer.
When can I use it?
We're starting with inbox and calendar, then expanding from there. Join the waitlist and we'll share every milestone as it lands.
Why the Dogue de Bordeaux?
It's an ancient guardian breed — calm, patient, and immovable, intervening only when it truly matters. That temperament is exactly what we're building. About the breed →
