The family app for house rules, chores, homework & screen time
Agree the rules once, together. Kids and teens see what to do, get noticed for doing it, and watch their orb glow towards rewards they chose. You stop nagging.
Most family friction isn’t about the rules. It’s that nobody remembers them the same way, and the good days go unnoticed.
“Five more minutes” turns into midnight. Taking the phone every night feels like a fight nobody wins.
With Orb Kin you agree “phones out of bedrooms at 9” once. Handing it over keeps the rule and fills their orb.
Screen time rules for kids
You made the chore chart. Nobody looked at it after day two, and you ended up doing everything.
With Orb Kin chores are tasks with a due time and a photo when done. Approve in one tap; the points go to their orb.
Chore chart ideas by age
A tablet under the worksheet, bedtime looming, and nobody learning anything.
With Orb Kin “homework before screens” is a rule. Kids see what’s due and the play time they’ve earned.
Letters on the fridge, a forgotten PE bag, the trip form signed in the car.
With Orb Kin you forward school emails and get the dates and to-dos in one family calendar.
Bedtimes, screens and rewards change at the front door, and children feel caught in the middle.
With Orb Kin connected homes share handovers, school news and timetables, so nothing depends on the child passing messages.
Co-parenting in two homesEvery rule leads to something to do, everything done gets noticed, and the good stuff adds up to rewards. Nothing hidden, no surprises.
1Write the house rules as a family. Teens can suggest changes and appeal; everyone knows the deal.
2Chores and homework link to a rule. A quick photo shows it’s done, and you approve in a tap.
Every kept rule and every word of praise fills the weekly glow. The good days finally count.
4Levels unlock rewards you chose: a cinema trip, a later Friday bedtime. Slips meet the consequence agreed in advance.
No lists on the fridge, no “I didn’t know”, no arguing about what was agreed. Phones go in the basket, homework gets done, and the evening is yours again.

Orb Kin is a family app for parents, kids and teens. You agree house rules together, set chores and homework, plan the family calendar and give feedback and rewards, all in one place. Every rule a child keeps fills their Golden Orb.
Each house rule links to tasks or homework. When a task is done on time, or a parent marks a rule as kept, the child’s orb glows a little more. Kept rules add up to levels, from Bronze to Silver, Gold and the Golden Orb, and each level unlocks rewards the family chose in advance.
Yes. Agree a screen time rule such as phones out of bedrooms at night or homework before screens, and use the play timer so children can see the time they have earned. Orb Kin does not lock devices; it makes the agreement clear and rewards keeping it, which takes the fight out of it.
Yes. Connect the two homes and choose what to share: handovers, school news, timetables and emergency info, each shared only when both homes switch it on. Your child can be linked in both homes and switch between them in the app, while each home keeps its own rules. Grandparents and carers can get their own limited view too.
Orb Kin works from primary school age to the teenage years. Younger children sign in with a PIN and get big, colourful tiles. Teens get their own view where they can propose rule changes and appeal a decision.
Yes. The Free plan includes every feature and 60 AI runs a month, with no card needed. Plus (£4.99 a month) and Family (£9.99 a month) only add more AI runs.
Each family’s data is kept separate and is only visible to the people in your family, according to their role. Parents can see an audit log and can delete the family and everything in it from settings at any time.
Orb Kin is built in small, steady steps with the families who use it. Here is what landed recently.
