The company

An independent studio that respects kids and their parents.

InitiateHub Ltd is an independent software company registered in Ireland. We build calm, ad-free apps for curious families — starting with the Encyclopedia: Kids Learning app.

What we believe

Most software made for children is designed to capture as much of their attention as possible. We think that's backwards.

A good learning app should help a child finish something, feel they've learned it, and put the phone down. That belief shapes every product decision we make — what we build, what we refuse to build, and how we make money.

Our principles

Four commitments we don't break.

  • Ad-free, permanently

    No advertising at any tier, in any product, ever. Kids should not be a marketing channel.

  • Privacy by default

    We never sell personal data. Our kids’ app is COPPA-compliant; sign-in exists only to sync progress and support family profiles.

  • Short, finishable sessions

    No infinite feeds and no algorithms tuned for session length. We design for a child to finish, feel proud, and put the phone down.

  • Parents stay in control

    Rewards, profiles, and limits are configured by parents in a PIN-gated dashboard — and can be switched off entirely.
