Setting up YubiKids

1. Install YubiKids on your child’s tablet or phone.
2. Choose the device role. Pick This is my child’s device. (On your own phone, you’ll pick This is my device.)
3. Create your parent account with a one-time email code, Sign in with Apple, or Sign in with Google. There’s no password to remember.
4. Read and accept the privacy notice. We ask for your consent before any child profile is created.
5. Add your children. Enter a nickname, pick an avatar and add the birth year and month. That’s all we need.
6. Set your parent PIN (4–6 digits). You’ll use it to add time, change settings and unlock parent mode.
7. Pick a screen-time template: School day, Weekend, Holiday or Sick day. You can fine-tune it later.

A starter set of activities is already inside the app, so your child can begin right away, even without internet.

You can do everything on your child’s device alone. Installing YubiKids on your own phone adds remote control and live status. See Pairing a second device.
