Frequently asked questions

What is Kite?
Kite is an Android family app that makes screen time something kids earn: parents set chores and their points, the child completes them, the parent approves, and the child spends points on minutes in the apps the parent chose.
Is Kite free?
Yes. The free plan is permanent and covers one child with chores, points, buying time and the wishlist. Family ($2.99/month) and Premium ($4.49/month) add more children, a second parent, reports, schedules and Focus Mode.
Which devices does it work on?
Android phones and tablets running Android 8.0 or later, from Google Play. There is no iPhone version yet.
Do I need two phones?
Yes: Kite is installed on your phone and on your child's phone, then you pair them with a 6-digit code or a QR scan. You can send the install link and the code to your child's phone in one message, and approve the phone from yours before it links.
Can I set a different price for each app?
Yes. In the per-app store you set a price in points for each app, so your child buys time for the app they want; an app without a price stays blocked. On the Family plan you can price a whole category, like games, in one tap.
What happens if my child deletes Kite?
You get an alert and can re-link the phone in one tap from that alert. Points and tasks are kept.
Does my child need an email or an account?
No. Your child needs no email and no password; pairing their phone to your account is enough.
Which languages does the app support?
English, Arabic and Turkish, with full right-to-left support for Arabic.
How much is everything worth in points?
You decide: the value of each chore, the price of a minute, and a daily points limit if you want one. You can change them any time.
How is it different from Google Family Link?
Family Link sets fixed time limits decided by the parent. Kite lets your child earn their time through chores and points, so the argument becomes a clear deal.
What happens if I cancel my subscription?
Nothing is deleted. You go back to the free plan, and extra children are kept and come back as soon as you subscribe again.
Who answers in the website chat?

How do I delete my account and data?
In the app: More → Data & privacy → Delete all data. Deletion is immediate and permanent. You can also use the "Delete account" page at the bottom of this site.
