A page we are deliberately not filling with words.
We don't have awards, press features or industry recognition yet, and we're not going to pretend we do. As real, verifiable recognition arrives, it lands here with a link to the issuing source. The site launched in May 2026.
Aligned with, but not formally recognised by.
-
Smartphone Free Childhood (UK)
The half-million-parent UK movement Knock is most closely aligned with on position. Knock is not a member of SFC; it is an editorial site that cites SFC's published parent testimony and supports the movement's work.
-
Wait Until 8th (US)
The US-based pledge movement, 147,000+ family signatures, that frames much of the international conversation. Knock supports the position and writes about it.
-
The Anxious Generation (Jonathan Haidt)
The 2024 book whose framing of childhood smartphone use much of the site is built on. Cited on /the-research and in the long-form notes.

Recognition FAQ.
Why is this page empty?
The site launched in May 2026. We are deliberately not listing awards, press features or industry mentions we haven't yet earned. As real, verifiable recognition comes in, it lands here with a source link.
Will you add awards as soon as you can?
Only verifiable ones, with links to the issuing source. Knock will not list a "best of" award from a publication that has not given Knock one. The point of this page is that you can check Knock against external evidence.
Are you a member of Smartphone Free Childhood, Wait Until 8th, or any other movement?
Knock is aligned with the parent communities at Smartphone Free Childhood (UK) and Wait Until 8th (US). Knock is not a formal member of either; both are parent movements, not membership organisations. Knock supports both.
