A message from Jason Michaelides, Orbiri’s founder

Orbiri began with a simple, uncomfortable truth: families and schools are being asked to fight a digital battle that none of us chose to join and none of us can win alone. My friends and I learned this first-hand with our own children - the daily battles, the guilt, the noise - and the realisation that no matter how hard we tried at home, the wider system was working against us.

And yet, despite the scale of the issue, there is still no clear national steer or effective industry solution. So every parent and every teacher ends up trying to solve a collective problem in isolation. That’s what compelled me to create Orbiri: a practical way for schools and families to move together, using shared boundaries to bring balance, calm, and space back into children’s lives.

Thank you for participating in this pilot. By joining this movement, you’re doing more than easing today’s pressures. You’re helping shape a fairer, healthier digital future – one built not on bans or blame, but on collective strength and simple, everyday action.

Thank you for leading the way. We’re excited to ride with you on your Orbiri journey.
