About Moxies
What is Moxies?
Moxies is a safe-by-design, research-backed app created specifically for girls ages 8–12. Girls customize avatars, complete Quests, answer polls and quizzes, earn badges and rewards, and connect with real-life friends in private, parent-approved groups.
Moxies is designed to support confidence, creativity, friendship, digital literacy, and healthy digital habits.
Who is Moxies for?
Moxies is designed for girls ages 8–12 who want to play, create, build skills, and connect with friends online. It can serve as a developmentally appropriate first step into the digital world or a more age-appropriate option for families seeking technology designed specifically for children.
Why was Moxies created?
Girls are entering digital spaces earlier, but most social platforms were not designed around their development or well-being.
Moxies gives girls a space designed for childhood from the start—with private communities, thoughtful moderation, healthy time boundaries, creative play, and opportunities to build skills and deepen real-life friendships.

Girls can:
- Create and customize Moxie avatars

- Earn badges, items, and rewards
- Build confidence and digital literacy skills
- Join private groups with real-life friends
- Chat in a moderated, age-appropriate environment
How do I create a Moxies account?
Download Moxies from the Apple App Store and complete registration with your daughter. A parent or guardian must participate in the registration process.
Moxies is currently available for iPhone and iPad
Is Moxies available on Android?

Private Groups & Friends
What is a Moxies group?
A Moxies group is a small, private, invite-only space where girls can connect with people they already know in real life.
Groups can be created for classmates, teammates, camp friends, Girl Scout troops, cousins, neighborhood friends, and other trusted communities.
What is a Group Code?
A Group Code is a unique code used to join a private Moxies group. Group Codes are requested outside the app by a parent or approved group organizer and delivered by email. The parent or organizer then shares the code directly with invited families outside the Moxies app.
Does my daughter need a Group Code to use Moxies?
No. Your daughter can create an account, customize her Moxie, complete Quests, and earn badges and rewards without a Group Code.
A Group Code is only needed to join a private group with friends.
How do I request a Group Code?
Premium members can request a Group Code using this form. We’ll email your unique code within 24–48 hours. Group Codes are not created or shared within the Moxies app. Check your spam or junk folder if you don’t receive the email.
Make sure to check your spam or junk folder if you do not receive your code within 72 hours
How many groups can my daughter create or join?
Premium members can create and join multiple private groups on Moxies. Each group can represent a different real-life community, such as a class, team, camp, troop, or friend group.
How are Moxies groups different from iMessage or WhatsApp groups?
Moxies groups are designed specifically for girls ages 8–12.
Unlike conventional messaging platforms, Moxies groups include:
- Parent-approved participation
- Connections with real-life friends
- Messages reviewed before they appear
- No strangers or public profiles
- No user search
- No photo, video, or external-link sharing
- Limited notifications
- Built-in time boundaries
- Chat available only from 7:30 a.m. to 8 p.m.
These design choices help girls practice healthier, kinder digital communication.
Can girls talk to strangers on Moxies?
No. Moxies does not have open messaging, public profiles, follower discovery, or a way to search for strangers.
Girls connect through private, parent-approved groups with people they already know in real life.
Safety, Privacy & Moderation
Is Moxies safe for kids?
Moxies is built specifically for girls ages 8–12 with safety incorporated into the product from the start.
Safeguards include parent co-registration, private groups, moderated messages, avatars instead of personal photos, healthy time limits, and no strangers, public profiles, user search, or photo and video sharing.
What does “safe-by-design” mean?
Safe-by-design means safety, privacy, and well-being are incorporated into how a product works from the beginning—not added later as optional settings.
On Moxies, this includes high-safety defaults, private communities, parent involvement, message moderation, limited notifications, and built-in time boundaries.
How does Moxies moderate chat?
Every message is reviewed before it appears in a Moxies group using AI-supported moderation with human oversight.
If a message may be unkind or inappropriate, Moxies asks the sender to consider how it could make someone feel and gives her the opportunity to edit or delete it. Messages that do not meet Moxies’ standards remain blocked.
This creates a real-time opportunity for girls to practice kindness and thoughtful digital communication.
Can users upload photos or videos?
No. Moxies is avatar-based and text-only. Users cannot upload or share personal photos, videos, or external links.
What information does Moxies collect?
Moxies minimizes the information collected from children and does not collect child personally identifiable information for public profiles, advertising, or open discovery.
Moxies may collect aggregated or anonymized information about feature engagement and app activity to understand how the platform is being used and improve the experience.
Parent information necessary for co-registration, consent, account administration, and subscriptions is handled according to the Moxies Privacy Policy.
Is Moxies COPPA compliant?
Yes. Moxies is designed to comply with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act, including requirements related to parent consent, children’s privacy, and responsible data collection.
For complete information about how information is collected, used, and protected, review the Moxies Privacy Policy.
How does Moxies support healthy digital habits?
Moxies supports healthy technology use through:
- Built-in time limits
- Chat hours from 7:30 a.m. to 8 p.m.
- Limited notifications
- Purposeful Quests and activities
- No endless scrolling
- No public popularity metrics
- No likes or follower counts
- Rewards connected to creativity, learning, and skill-building
These features help girls build self-regulation and healthier digital routines from the start.
Parent Accounts & Controls
How are parents involved in Moxies?
A parent or guardian co-registers every child account and helps approve her private communities.
Parents receive information designed to help them stay connected to what their daughters are doing and learning on Moxies while still giving girls an age-appropriate sense of independence.
What access do parents have to their daughter’s Moxies account?
Because parents co-register, they remain connected to their daughter’s account and can access Parent Settings.
Parents can manage subscriptions, support group setup, review relevant account information, and receive weekly summaries of their daughter’s Moxies activity.
What is included in the Parent Weekly Summary?
The Parent Weekly Summary helps families stay connected to the Moxies experience. It can include information about:
- Quests completed
- Badges and items earned
- Avatar activity
- Group-chat participation
- Relevant flagged activity
- Conversation starters for families
What are my responsibilities as a parent or guardian?
Parents and guardians help by:
- Co-registering and setting up their daughter’s account
- Helping create or approve private groups
- Sharing invitations with trusted friends and their parents
- Reviewing parent communications and weekly summaries
- Supporting healthy digital conversations at home
- Providing feedback to help improve Moxies
Parents can also co-host a Moxies event in their community by contacting hello@joinmoxies.com.
What if I have multiple children who want Moxies accounts?
You can use the same parent email address to register multiple children.
Use the same Apple or Google sign-in and email address each time so the accounts can be connected under one family account. Premium families may be eligible for discounted pricing for additional children, with family pricing available for up to five children.
For help connecting family accounts, email hello@joinmoxies.com.
