Now inviting families

Deepen the bondsbetween kids andgrandparents.

Hilou is a voice-message box that lets kids ages 3–9 share little moments with long-distance grandparents and other loved ones you approve. No phone or tablet needed for your child. Loved ones reply from their own Hilou or the Hilou website.

Why Hilou?

Love doesn’t get smaller with distance.

But being part of each other’s everyday lives gets harder. The little stories, silly jokes, and familiar voices matter. They help us feel close.

We believe kids and the people who love them deserve that closeness, wherever they live.

How Hilou works

  1. Your kid gets the box

    Kids tap a person, hold to talk, and listen to replies.

  2. You approve who’s on it

    You choose who shows up on the box, and only they can send it messages.

  3. Loved ones use a box or the app

    Grandparents, cousins and friends reply from their own Hilou or the Hilou app.
