A bouncer for
your Wi-Fi.
That also does babysitting.
Manaia blocks most known dangerous sites 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.
Real features.
In real words.
Threat blocking that actually works.
A bouncer for your Wi-Fi.
When anyone in your house tries to load a known dangerous site — phishing, malware, fake login pages — Manaia stops it at the DNS layer before the page opens. Same approach the Australian Signals Directorate uses to protect government networks (334M domains blocked, FY2024–25, ASD ACTR).
Content filtering you actually control.
Nine categories. Your rules.
Adult content, gambling, violence, drugs, weapons, dating, social media, gaming, streaming. Pick what to block per person. Pre-built age templates so you’re done in 30 seconds.
See every device in your house.
Even the ones you forgot about.
The app shows every device your family uses. Add Home Lite and you see everything on your home Wi-Fi too — the Xbox, the smart TV, even that robot vacuum you bought on a whim. Assign profiles, set per-person rules, spot new devices the moment they join.
Reports that make sense.
In actual English.
Every week — daily on Guardian Pro — Manaia writes you a summary. Not a spreadsheet. A paragraph that says what got blocked, what your kids were up to, and anything worth knowing about.
Safety signals for kids.
A nudge, not surveillance.
Manaia looks at which sites your family visits — not messages, not keystrokes — and flags patterns: repeated self-harm content, cyberbullying indicators, grooming red flags. The output is "you might want to check in," not "here are the receipts."
Knows when your email gets caught up.
And tells you what to do.
If a family email shows up in a known breach, Manaia tells you which breach, what was exposed, and what to do next. Not "your credentials may have been compromised." More like "change your Woolies password — here's the link."
Proof,
not puffery.
We'd rather say “257,000+ threats blocked, updated hourly from 14 sources” than “industry-leading AI-powered threat protection.” You can audit the first one.
App, appliance,
or both.
Default is the app — protects each device wherever it goes (home Wi-Fi, 4G, the cafe). Add Home Lite (the appliance) for whole-home coverage on your network. Run both for the full picture.
Device protection.
iOS and Android. Protects each device wherever it goes — home Wi-Fi, mobile data, the cafe Wi-Fi. Works on every paid plan by default.
Whole-home protection.
A small Australian-built appliance plugs into your router. Adds coverage for the smart TV, the games console, the IoT vacuum — devices that can't install an app.
Both, working together.
App + Home Lite hand off as devices roam in and out of your house. The combination we recommend for most households. Network-level coverage may vary by router and ISP.
