The product
A bouncer for your WiFi... that also does babysitting.
Manaia blocks most known dangerous websites before they load,* filters content by age, and gives you a clear picture of what's happening on your home network. It runs in the background while you get on with life.
Like a bouncer for your WiFi
Blocks dangerous websites before they load*
When anyone in your family tries to visit a known dangerous website — malware, phishing scams, fake login pages — Manaia stops it before the page even opens. The Australian Government uses the same DNS-layer approach to protect its own networks — blocking 334 million malicious domains in FY2024–25, up 307% (ASD ACTR 2024–25). The app protects each device wherever it goes. Add Home Lite and your entire home WiFi is covered too.
9 categories, your rules
Content filtering you actually control
Adult content, gambling, violence, drugs, weapons, dating, social media, gaming, and streaming. You pick what to block for each family member. Set up a profile for your 8-year-old and a different one for your teenager. Pre-built age templates mean you can be done in 30 seconds.
Even the ones you forgot about
See every device in your house
The app shows you every device your family uses. Add Home Lite and you can see everything on your WiFi too — the Xbox, the smart TV, even that robot vacuum you bought on a whim. Assign profiles, set rules per person, and spot new devices the moment they join your network.
Written by AI, in actual English
Weekly reports that make sense
Every week, Manaia writes you a summary of what happened on your network. Not a spreadsheet — a plain-English paragraph that says "here's what was blocked, here's what your kids were up to, and here's anything you might want to know about."
Patterns that might warrant a conversation
Safety signals for kids
Manaia looks at which websites your family visits — not messages, not keystrokes — and flags patterns that could mean something: repeated visits to self-harm content, cyberbullying indicators, grooming red flags. It's not surveillance. It's a nudge that says "you might want to check in."
And tells you what to do about it
Knows if your email has been hacked
If your family's email addresses show up in a data breach, Manaia tells you which breach, what was exposed, and exactly what to do — in plain English. In FY2024–25, 42% of critical cyber incidents involved compromised credentials (ASD ACTR 2024–25). Not "your credentials may have been compromised." More like "change your Woolworths password, here's how."
Manaia Home Lite
Plug it into your router. That's the whole setup. Devices on your home network are protected automatically — including smart TVs, game consoles, and devices that can't run apps.
What it does
- Covers your entire home WiFi — smart TVs, game consoles, the fridge
- Protects the devices that can't run the app (looking at you, robot vacuum)
- Harder for kids to bypass than app-only controls
- Works with most Australian ISP routers†
- Compatible with most mesh WiFi systems†
Pricing
$149.95 RRP. Available as an add-on to any paid plan via instalments. One Home Lite covers one home network — if you're protecting a parent's place too, they'll need their own plan and device.
