Why Filter Subscribers Get KolBo Free

Every KolBo Filter subscription — from the $12.99/month Single Device plan to the $59.99/month Whole House plan — includes full, unlimited access to the KolBo app and all 15 of its tools. No extra charge, no premium tier, no in-app purchases. The app is part of the filter, and the filter is part of the app.

This is not a marketing bundle. It is a philosophy.

Filtering Alone Is Not Enough

A filter that only removes content leaves a void. Your phone goes from being a device that does everything to a device that does less — and the natural human response to a void is to try to fill it. This is why many people who install filter apps eventually remove them: the phone feels crippled, the restrictions feel punitive, and the urge to restore full access wins out.

KolBo Filter takes a different approach. Yes, the filter removes inappropriate content — permanently, at the system level, using Apple Supervised Mode that cannot be bypassed. But the KolBo app fills the space that the filter creates. Instead of a phone that does less, you have a phone that does different things — better things.

What Subscribers Get

The KolBo app includes 15 purpose-built tools for the frum community:

• Torah Player — 695,000+ shiurim from TorahAnytime, OUTorah, YUTorah, JewishPodcasts
• Zmanim — Location-accurate halachic times
• Tefila Companion — 37 prayers, 195 segulos in Hebrew
• Digital Library — Tanakh with Rashi offline, Sefaria integration
• Minyan Finder — Nearby minyanim on OpenStreetMap
• Shabbos Planner — Live parsha, candle lighting, havdalah via Hebcal
• Maaser Tracker — Track maaser obligations accurately
• Yahrzeit Companion — Never miss a yahrzeit with calendar integration
• Chesed Rides — Community ride coordination
• And six more tools — Meah Brachot counter, Cheshbon HaNefesh journal, Executive Calendar, and more

All of these are accessible at kolboapp.com/app on any device included in your subscription.

The Value Proposition No Competitor Matches

Compare what $12.99/month gets you with KolBo Filter versus other filtering services:

Other filters give you content blocking. That is it. You pay monthly for restrictions. The phone becomes less useful, and you get nothing in return except the absence of bad content.

KolBo Filter gives you content blocking plus a full Torah platform. You pay the same monthly rate, but instead of just restrictions, you get 695,000 shiurim, accurate zmanim, a tefila library, a digital Torah library, a minyan finder, a Shabbos planner, and nine more tools. Your phone does not become less useful — it becomes differently useful, in a way that aligns with your values.

This is why filter subscribers get the KolBo app free: because the filter and the app are two halves of the same solution. The filter removes what should not be on your phone. The app replaces it with what should be. Neither half works as well alone.

From Liability to Asset

An unfiltered smartphone is a liability. Everyone knows it. The question has always been what to do about it — because the phone is also essential for modern life.

KolBo Filter turns the liability into an asset. The bad content is gone, permanently. The good content — Torah, tefila, zmanim, community tools — is installed, accessible, and free. Your phone is no longer something you struggle with. It is something you benefit from.

That transformation — from liability to asset — is what the $12.99/month pays for. The filter and the app together. Permanent protection and unlimited Torah content in one subscription. No other service in this space offers that combination.
