Step-by-step setup
Kidelon installed and active in 5 minutes.
Parent app setup
- Install Kidelon (parent) from the App Store or Google Play.
- Sign up with email + password. Confirm the verification email.
- Create your family (your name + family name).
- Set a 6-digit PIN — used to unlock Kidelon every time it opens.
- Add a child profile: name, age, avatar.
- "Pair device" → a 6-digit pair code is generated, valid for 24 hours.
Child app setup
- Install Kidelon Child on your child's phone.
- Enter the 6-digit pair code on the welcome screen.
- Approve the 8 permissions in order (see the Permissions page for detail).
- The onboarding tour wraps up automatically.
- Done! The child's phone is now under Kidelon supervision.
Multi-parent setup
- Parent app → Family → Invite member.
- Enter your partner's email; an invite is sent.
- Your partner opens the email link, installs Kidelon, accepts the invite.
- They set their own PIN and join your family.
- All parents control in parallel — admin/member roles assignable.
Troubleshooting
