Raising kids today means navigating technology with intention. For years, “kids tech” has focused on limits and controls. What to block, what to restrict, what to keep out of reach.
At Cosmo, we believe that’s only part of the picture.
The bigger question for families is: How can technology support our kids as they grow and gain more independence?
That’s why we’re so excited to partner with Maple, bringing the Maple app to Cosmo kids smartwatches.
Designed for Kids. Built for Families.
Maple was created with the same family-first values that guide Cosmo. It’s not an app designed to grab attention, or encourage endless scrolling. Instead, Maple helps families stay organized, communicate clearly, and build healthy routines - so everyone can spend less time on devices and more time together.
By bringing Maple to Cosmo’s kids smartwatches, we’re giving families a tool that fits naturally into everyday life, without the need for a smartphone.
Helping Kids Build Confidence and Responsibility
Kids between 6 and 12 are learning independence fast, but they still need structure and support. Too often parents carry the entire mental load: reminders, schedules, chores, school prep, and after-school activities.
With Maple on a Cosmo smartwatch, kids can start taking ownership of those small daily responsibilities.
A gentle tap on their wrist saying “time to pack your backpack” or “don’t forget your lunch” feels different than a parent repeating reminders from across the room. It helps kids:
-
Build independence
-
Strengthen focus and follow-through
-
Develop habits that support confidence and responsibility
These small moments add up, and they matter.
Family-First Technology, On Purpose
Maple’s founder, Michael Perry, often talks about building tools that treat families with the same care and thoughtfulness we bring to our work lives. We couldn’t agree more.
Running a family is meaningful, and it’s busy. This partnership is about easing the load, supporting kids as they grow, and using technology in a way that truly serves families.
Getting Started Is Easy
Already a Cosmo parent? Just head to the Parent Portal and download Maple from the App Station to get started.
New to Maple? You’ll be joining a community of families focused on organization, communication, and growing together–one routine at a time.
This is just the beginning. We’re proud to build technology that grows with your child and supports your family every step of the way. 💛
