Why not just get a tablet?

A tablet is a general-purpose computer with passwords, app store updates, scam emails and face-unlock resets. The Ken does none of that. It shows only approved faces, and when one of them calls, the screen lights up. That's the whole product.

How does The Ken keep scammers away?

The Ken has no phone number, no email address, no browser and no app store, so a cold caller has no number to dial and a phishing email has nowhere to arrive. Reaching the screen takes a credential your family was given, and the contacts approved in the portal are the faces that appear on it.

£249 for the device (one-off, free UK delivery, 30-day return) plus £4.99 a month for the subscription. Extended voicemail storage is +£3/mo. Cancel any time. UK only.

Family members manage everything from their phone via the admin portal at theken.uk/portal - add contacts, change settings, set quiet hours, see recent calls, approve clinicians and carers, all remotely. The iPhone and Android apps are both in testing. The person using the Ken just answers the calls.

Does The Ken need Wi-Fi?

Yes. The Ken has no SIM card and does not connect to a mobile network. It needs a Wi-Fi connection to make calls, receive calls, and send messages. Most home routers work fine, as do care home and hospital guest networks, provided they do not require a login on a browser. If you are unsure, check with your network provider.

Simple for them. Yours to run.

When a phone becomes too much, people slip quietly out of touch. The Ken is the one screen simple enough to use alone, and safe enough to leave switched on.

On their screen

One screen, one purpose
No apps to crash, and a home screen that never rearranges itself.
A message waiting, with a face on it
Nobody in? The caller leaves a voice or video note, and it sits on the home screen.
Birthdays and medication
Prompted on the day, or a week before.
