Whether your kids are too young for their own phone, or your whole household is ready to take back its evenings, Coilie gives every phone a home outside the bedroom and outside the pocket.
The Family Phone for the smartphone era
Give your tween access to texting, calls, and music — without handing over a personal device. Coilie turns any phone into a shared, wall-mounted family phone that stays exactly where you left it. It's a ritual, not a rule.
The landline taught generations of families how to share a device respectfully. Coilie brings that same calm to the smartphone.
Conversations happen in shared spaces, not behind closed doors
Tweens learn phone etiquette before they own one
Less pressure on kids to keep up with personal-phone culture
No phone in bedrooms means better sleep for everyone
You're naturally nearby when they're using it
One device, one location — no 'where's the phone?' chaos
Nobody's phone sleeps in the bedroom
For families where everyone already has a phone — including the older kids. One perch per person, all in the same room. Parents and kids follow the same agreement: when you're home, your phone lives on the wall.
Not different rules for parents than kids. A family deciding together to reduce phone reliance, and leaving phones docked because they chose to — together.
The Family Phone setup works best for kids ages 8–13 — old enough to want connection with friends and family, young enough that a personal smartphone feels premature. The The Landing Zone setup is for households where everyone (including older teens and parents) already has a phone and wants to dock together.
An old iPhone or Android works perfectly. Wipe it, set it up with a new Apple ID or Google account dedicated to the family phone, and you're done. No new phone plan needed if it's on Wi-Fi only — or add a low-cost line if you want texting and calls on the go.
They can — it's not a lock. But the social contract is clear: phones live on the wall when you're home. In practice, both kids and adults stop carrying phones around because there's nowhere private to use them, and the cord makes it obvious when one is off-base.
Coilie is for home use. For Family Phone setups, many families pair it with a basic kid's smartwatch or flip phone, but you can also set up a basic plan for your perched phone for when kids are on the go. For Landing Zone setups, personal phones come off the wall when you leave the house.
Yes. Coilie is just a charger and perch — your phone's existing parental controls (Screen Time, Family Link, Bark, Qustodio, etc.) all work normally.
Absolutely — that's the whole point of the Landing Zone setup. Plenty of adults also use Coilie solo as a personal 'perch' to cut down on doomscrolling.
