MANUAL UPDATE
“I’ve arrived”
The child taps the button to share an update in Family. It needs a connection and does not replace a call.
FAMILY · IN BETA
More understanding.
Fewer arguments.
A space to organise screen time and support your children, with an experience for each phone.

START TOGETHER
Two phones.
One clear start.
Each step has its place. Connecting phones and granting permissions are separate decisions.
Choose Family
At setup, choose Family and select whether this is the adult’s or the child’s phone.
Set up your household
The adult signs in, confirms their age and creates the child’s profile.
Connect the two phones
Scan the QR code in Quitok or enter the six-digit code. Review and confirm the request on the adult’s phone.
Review permissions
Screen Time, app selection, location and notifications each have their own buttons. Enable them together when needed.
Child protection requires Apple’s Screen Time authorisation and app selection on that iPhone.
How do I disconnect the child’s phone?
On the child’s phone: Settings → Disconnect → Request permission.
On the adult’s phone: Family → child profile → Disconnection code. Generate the code and enter its six digits on the child’s phone.
The code can only be used once and lasts up to five minutes, within the request’s original ten-minute limit. Disconnecting the phone does not delete the family.
Location sharing and chat keep their own options for withdrawing permission.
ONE HOUSEHOLD, TWO EXPERIENCES
Supporting them also means
agreeing together.
- For the adult
- Profiles, connected devices, agreements and schedules. The adult’s account keeps the household together.
- For the child
- Their own home screen, with or without a companion, breaks, achievements and access to their family map.
- For both
- A shared agreement and schedules for rest and activities. Changes need a connection to sync.
A SHARED ROUTINE
Time to switch off
Example schedule
LOCATION WITH PERMISSION
Know where you are.
Choose what you share.
Connecting your family does not switch on GPS. Location sharing needs separate permission and can be stopped.
Example place
Adult sharing location
My location
- On the child’s phone
- The child sees their own position and adults who have chosen to share with them. They do not see their siblings’ locations.
- The adult’s position
- Updates when sharing is enabled or “Update my position” is tapped. Updates are manual; a continuous route is not recorded.
- Places you choose
- Search for a place or mark it on the map, then choose its radius. Automatic alerts need additional setup.
AUTOMATIC ALERTS · IN BETA
Arrivals and departures
In the beta, you can enable alerts for saved places. The child’s phone needs “Always” and precise location; the adult must allow notifications. Arrivals are confirmed with two consistent samples. iOS may delay alerts, and availability depends on each family’s permissions.
CLAUDE BY ANTHROPIC · OPTIONAL
Understand the progress.
Talk about the next step.
The chat helps explain Quitok and organise habits. Before sending, you review what the AI receives and give specific permission.
Chat for ages 14–17
Requires an adult’s authorisation by QR or code and the teenager’s own acceptance. Claude access is not available to children under 14.
See the steps and permissionsReports on request
With the AI plan, the adult can request an explanation of the period’s aggregated data. Each submission is reviewed and confirmed; the AI can make mistakes.
