Sound familiar?
“Great session. So… what do I do next?”
We know how difficult it is to keep up with online safety. Social media apps, games and platforms change all the time, and finding information you can trust takes hours you don't have.
Online safety isn't meant to be a tick-box. It has to work. Ho'okele gives you the answers when you need them, and keeps you up to date after that.
How do I set up parental controls on the Xbox?
Snapchat just changed something. Should I be worried?
What does the law actually say here in the UAE?
How much screen time is too much?
Is this message real, or is it a scam?
There's a short video for that.
Imagine this…

Keeping you up to date with the digital landscape.
Mum and dad didn't grow up with this themselves, which makes protecting their children (and themselves) in the digital age complicated. That's why we built Ho'okele.

Questions parents ask
Good to know.
I've just attended a Beat The Cyberbully session. Is this the next step?
Yes. Ho'okele was built to answer the question we hear after almost every session: “What do I do next?” It gives you the full parents' workshop to rewatch and keeps you updated as things change after the session.
How much time does it take?
Very little. Most videos are 3–5 minutes long, podcasts are easy to listen to on the go, and PDFs are there when you want to read in more detail. You choose what to look at and when.
How often is new content added?
We guarantee online safety updates at least every 2 weeks, plus extra content whenever something important changes. You'll get an in-app notification and an email each time.
Is it relevant if we live in the UAE? What about the UK?
Yes. Content covers the platforms children use everywhere, and we also explain the local picture, including what the law says about digital misuse in both the UAE and the UK.
What devices does it work on?
Ho'okele is available on iOS and Android smartphones, so you can get the latest information wherever you are.
How much is it?
440 AED for 12 months of full access, which works out at about 37 AED a month.
