About Circle

Circle by Aura takes a unique network-level approach to parental controls. Instead of installing software on each device, Circle works at the router level to filter and manage internet access for every connected device in the home — including smart TVs, gaming consoles, and IoT devices that can't run apps. Parents create profiles for each family member with custom filter levels, time limits, bedtime schedules, and pause controls. The companion iOS and Android apps extend Circle's protections to mobile devices outside the home via a VPN. Circle integrates with Disney's content ratings and offers per-platform time limits (e.g., 1 hour of YouTube, 30 minutes of TikTok).
