Ron

Kid Mode

Kid Mode.

Kid Mode is an optional simpler view so a child can see their own day and chores. It is not parental control or device supervision.

What Kid Mode is

Ron is designed for the adults running a household. Kid Mode is an optional simpler shell a parent can switch on so a child can see what is expected of them — their day, chores, and the sections a parent left visible — without the adult household layout or purchases.

Kid Mode is off by default. It is not Screen Time, not a kid-category app, and not a substitute for supervising a device.

How to turn it on

  1. Open Ron and go to Settings.
  2. Under Kid Mode, set a parent PIN (4–8 digits).
  3. Add a household member with the Child role in Family, choose who to enter as, then tap Enter Kid Mode.
  4. Per-child visible sections are edited on each member in Family.

What a child can see

Depending on what a parent left visible, Kid Mode can show:

  • My Day — that child’s events, chores due, dinner
  • My Chores
  • My Rewards, wishlist, and packing

Kid Mode does not show:

  • Paywalls, subscriptions, or Restore Purchases
  • Adult household settings and family policy
  • Ask Ron and other adult assistant surfaces

How the PIN works

Leaving Kid Mode requires the parent PIN you set. The PIN is stored in this device’s Keychain. It stops casual exit; it is not a security boundary like a device passcode.

A forgotten PIN cannot be recovered from inside the app — and we cannot reset it for you, because we have no copy of it. Recovering from a forgotten PIN means deleting Ron’s data on the device and setting the household up again.

Your child’s data

We do not host a copy of your child’s information. Their name, birthday, and assignments are stored on the device and, if you share a household, in that family’s iCloud. Ron reasons about them using Apple’s on-device models. We do not receive a child profile we could disclose or lose in a breach of ours.

As a parent or guardian, you can review, correct, or delete your child’s information at any time from within the app. Delete Account in Settings removes Ron’s data on this device. You do not need to ask us to delete a child record we do not hold.

The specifics are set out in the children’s privacy section of the privacy policy.
