Kindom for families

Kindom is a family app. Parents set it up and stay in charge, and children of any age use it inside their own family. This page explains how that works: who it's for, how children join, what parents control, and who a child can and can't talk to.

One app, three experiences

Everyone in the family uses the same app, and each person sees the experience made for them.

• Parent mode is for the adults who run the family account. Parents create the family, add each child, set up chores and rewards, approve what children submit, and choose which features each child can use.
• Kid mode is for younger children. It's simple and playful, guided by a friendly character, and centred on chores, rewards, saving and family games.
• Teen mode is for older children. It gives them more independence, their own goals, and a sleeker look, while parents still approve what matters.

A parent chooses the right experience for each child.

Children can't sign themselves up

• Only a parent can create a child's profile. There is no way for a child to create an account.
• Children sign in with a login code their parent gives them, or with the family code on a shared device. Children don't need, and never give us, an email address.
• The parent account holder is an adult who signs in with email, Sign in with Apple or Sign in with Google.

What parents control

• Approvals. Parents approve completed chores, reward redemptions and payouts before anything changes hands.
• Features. Parents decide what's switched on for their family. Family challenges and competitions, for example, stay off until a parent turns them on.
• Their family's data. The Trust Center in the app shows everything we hold about the family. From there a parent can download a copy, remove a child, or delete the account.

Who a child can talk to

• Their own family. Messages and nudges travel only between members of the same family.
• No strangers. There are no public profiles, no search and no way to find or contact people outside the family.
• Family Circles lets a family play games with another family they already know. It's by invitation only, each child takes part only with their parent's consent, and players interact through the game's set choices: no free typing and no photos between families. Family Circles is currently a limited pilot.

Money, rewards and games

• Kredits are the app's own points. Children earn them by doing chores and spend them on rewards their parents create. Parents decide whether Kredits are worth anything in real money, and pay out themselves. Kindom never holds or moves money.
• There is no gambling, no betting and no loot boxes. When a challenge has a prize, a parent sets it, and children win it by playing, never by risking their own Kredits.
• Games are built for the whole family: word, number, memory and strategy games, with no violent or mature content.

No ads, no tracking

• There are no ads in Kindom, for children or anyone.
• We don't track anyone across other apps or websites, and there are no third-party analytics, advertising or data-broker tools in the app.
• Any subscription is bought by a parent through the App Store or Google Play. Children can't spend real money in Kindom.

Our privacy policy sets out exactly what we collect, why, who sees it and how long we keep it.

Guidance for parents

Kindom includes a section called Their World: short, evidence-based guidance to help parents support their children through things like friendship trouble, a loss or a moody patch. It's visible only in Parent mode. Children don't see it.
