Kairoo · your phone

Kairoo, on your phone.

First, Roo on what you actually get — a say in the deal, an honest answer every time, minutes that are yours. Then a minute and a half of set-up: type the six letters from your grown-up, allow Screen Time, pick what counts, and sign your side. Muted is fine — every word is on screen.

Get Kairoo on their phone

It’s on the App Store. On the phone that’s theirs, tap the button — or point its camera at the code in your Kairoo Parents app.

Then open Kairoo and type the six letters from your grown-up’s phone. If the phone is set up as a child in Apple Family Sharing, a grown-up may need to approve the install (Ask to Buy) — one tap.

The steps, in writing

On the child’s phone

  1. Open Kairoo and type the six letters from the grown-up’s phone. That’s the whole job.
  2. Allow Screen Time. Apple shows an approval box; approve it. That’s the one required step. Then a grown-up sets a PIN, so the settings stay theirs.
  3. Choose what the daily limit counts. Whole categories are fine — games, social, entertainment. Apple keeps the app list private to this phone.
  4. Read the deal and sign your side. If something’s not fair, say so — the grown-up sees it before anything starts. Nothing’s agreed without you.

A normal evening

  1. The ring shows today.
  2. Ten minutes before time’s up, a heads-up. At two minutes, a nudge — land the game.
  3. Then screens rest. Calls always work.
  4. Want more time? Ask Kairoo. It answers inside the deal you both signed, and every no comes with a reason.
