Obibo

A bond between you and your child, even far apart.

Designed for little ones

Obibo is a small, round companion with a screen that your child keeps close. It connects them to the people they love and stays by their side from wake-up to bedtime.

Everything it can do.

Obibo opens its eyes with your child, shows them the weather to come and the week that awaits them, then helps them get dressed all by themselves. It brings them your voice and your photos, and entrusts you with their stories, their feelings and their bursts of laughter. And as the day ends, it switches on their night light and hums them their lullaby.

  1. Rise and shine

    Day breaks over the hills, and Luna stretches with a yawn.

  2. Before school

    Socks, jumper, shoes: a ring of colour sets the pace, without a single number.

  3. Snack time

    A message from grandma. They listen, then answer in turn.

  4. Off to the park

    Drops in their sky? Wellies and hood!

  5. In the evening

    Dad sends their cuddly toy in a picture, all tucked in.

  6. Dreamland

    A soft glow, a gentle song, and both drift off to sleep.

You’re never far away.

From the Obibo app on your phone, a kiss or a memory flies to them in an instant. And theirs reach you just as fast. An uncle, an aunt or a godmother: anyone you invite can do the same. You can also set their connection hours: outside them, no one can reach them.

You, at home.

Them, snug under another roof.

Try it yourself

A press, and it all opens.

Pick one of the buttons, or play right on the Obibo’s screen.

You draw their circle.

Mum, dad, grandad, the nanny… and soon their friends: around their Obibo are exactly the people you chose.

The whole family, wherever they are

Invite whoever you like in the app. Each of them gets the voice notes and feelings on their own phone, and answers. Your child finds them all on their Obibo, behind a familiar face.

And their best friends

An Obibo can also become friends with another Obibo, if the parents on both sides say yes. The two children then send each other their voices and feelings, and you always stay in charge: one tap in the app, and the friendship is paused.

A small world, safely closed.

Obibo isn’t a phone, a tablet or a watch. It was designed for one person: your child. Here is everything that matters to you, and to us.

You stay in charge, gently.

In the app, you set it all: who can talk to them, which friends they can have, their hours, their timers, their week, the screen and the sound. No one else can change any of it, and you can share this role with another parent.

Your secrets belong to you alone.

Voices and photos are locked on the device that sends them, and only open on the one that receives them. On the way, they cross our servers sealed: we don’t have the key. The parents who run the family can play everything back.

End-to-end encryption: AES-256-GCM, with X25519 keys created on your own devices.

Everything it needs, nothing more.

Its software was made for it alone. Whatever reaches its screen, someone in its inner circle sent. And everything that has no place in a child’s bedroom is left at the door.

The microphone sleeps.

It opens only when your child presses to talk, and closes when they’re done. No wake word, nobody listening, nothing transcribed or analysed.

Invisible on the internet.

Obibo uses your home Wi-Fi and goes only through our servers, like a postman who carries the letters without being able to open them. No one can reach it directly, and once it’s set up it even turns off its Bluetooth. It doesn’t know where it is either: you give it a town, just for the weather and the time.

It rests when you say so.

You choose its connection hours. Outside them, your child can’t send or receive anything. And one tap on your phone disconnects it, wherever you are.

Treasures kept safe, the rest drifts away.

After 30 days, voices and photos erase themselves, except the ones your child has set aside. Remove someone, and everything that came from them disappears too. Remove the Obibo from your family, and it forgets everything. For your account, an email address is all it takes.

Who we are

Imagined by dads, developed in Switzerland.

Behind Obibo are two entrepreneur dads. What we wanted for our own children, we built for yours.

  • Our trade, precision.

    For more than ten years, we have been designing products for the watchmaking, medical or aerospace industries. Fields where every detail counts, and gets checked twice.

  • Here, line by line.

    The heart of Obibo, its software as well as its app, is thought out, written and tested under our own roof, a short walk from the lake.

  • Our most demanding client.

    We work on watches, care devices and instruments that go into space. None of it has tested us like a five-year-old who wants to know when grandma is coming.

A question? Write to us: the very same dads will answer.
