Ron

Kids Mode

Kids Mode.

Kids Mode lets a child see their own chores and schedule without giving them access to the rest of your household. Here is exactly how it works.

What Kids Mode is

Ron is designed for the adults running a household. Kids Mode is an optional, restricted view that a parent can switch on so a child can see what is expected of them — their assigned chores and their part of the schedule — without access to the full household view.

Kids Mode is off by default. Nothing about it is enabled until a parent deliberately turns it on.

How to turn it on

  1. Open Ron and go to Settings.
  2. Select Kids Mode.
  3. Choose which family member the device will be used by, and review what they will be able to see.
  4. Set a four-digit PIN. You will need this PIN to leave Kids Mode, so choose something your child does not already know.

What a child can see

In Kids Mode, Ron shows only:

  • Chores and tasks assigned to that child
  • Schedule items that involve that child
  • Their own progress and completion history

Kids Mode does not show:

  • The full household view or other family members’ assignments
  • Account settings, billing, or subscription details
  • The general-purpose assistant available to adults

How the PIN works

Leaving Kids Mode requires the four-digit PIN you set. A child cannot exit back to the full household view without it. The PIN is stored securely on the device.

For security, a forgotten PIN cannot be recovered from inside the app — and we cannot reset it for you either, because the PIN never leaves your device and we have no copy of it. Recovering from a forgotten PIN means erasing Ron’s data and setting the household up again.

Your child’s data

Nothing about your child leaves your iPhone. Their first name and their assignments are stored on the device alongside the rest of the household, and Ron reasons about them using Apple’s on-device models. We never receive that information, so there is no copy of it on our side, nothing for us to disclose if we were asked, and nothing to be exposed if we were ever breached.

As a parent or guardian, you can review, correct, or delete your child’s information at any time from within the app. Deleting Ron removes all of it at once. You do not need to ask us and there is no request for us to process.

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