The differentiator
Built with safety first
Every decision here is designed to protect your family, not just promised but built into how the app works.
Try the search a kid sees
No browsing. No suggestions. No strangers.
A kid can only ever find a friend by typing their exact @username. Type anything else: a nickname, a partial match, a common name, and Kibu comes back empty on purpose.
Type any @username to see what a kid sees.
Built in, not bolted on
Every decision protects your family
HQ Security Scan
Every post a kid makes is scanned before it goes live. Parents see anything flagged, first.
Exact-username friend search
Kids can only find someone by typing their exact @username. No browsing, no suggestions, no open directory.
QR-only pairing
Kids can't create their own way into a family. They join only through a QR code or invite code a parent generates, and it expires in 24 hours.
PIN-protected billing
Subscription management is locked behind a 4-digit PIN or Face ID. Kids can never open it.
Family-only chat
The chat system is closed to family members. No external contacts, no messages from anyone outside the family.
Parent override, always
A parent can edit or delete any post, remove a friend from a kid's squad, or revoke a device's access at any time.
Granular, per kid
Friend requests, new-friend approval, and photo or text posting are each their own switch, set per kid. Turn social off entirely and a kid's friends and posts are kept. Nothing is deleted, and it's back the moment it's switched on.
What we collect
Analytics are opt-in and asked for separately from any third-party sharing. We never send your kids' names, photos, or messages, only what they tap and how the app performs. Turning it off deletes what was already collected.
What’s never sent
- A kid's name
- A kid's photos
- A kid's messages
A walled garden, by design
Every control on this page is yours from the first day.
