Give something that carries your values, not more plastic.
You reach grandparents who want to give something that lasts. KudoKids is safe screen time for kids 3–12 that instills growth — nothing for the grandparent to set up, nothing that overrides the parents' rules, and free for every family you send.
Tasks, Coins, Games — That's the Loop
Parents set routines and tasks
Chores, reading goals, wellness habits — configured once.
Kids earn Kudo Coins
Completed tasks earn coins. Educational games earn them back.
Screen time self-regulates
Fun games cost coins. No timers, no fights — kids budget themselves.
Free plan available for families — tasks, games, wellness tools, and the parent dashboard cost nothing.
What You're Recommending
KudoKids is the values-forward gift your guide is built to feature: kids earn Kudo Coins by finishing real tasks and routines — practicing patience, effort, and kindness a little every day — and parents decide what those coins buy. The grandparent's only job is telling the family about it; the parents run everything, so a recommendation never strands a tech-anxious reader.
A gift that carries your values — practiced a little every day
Parents set the routines and tasks that matter this week; kids earn Kudo Coins by finishing them, and parents decide what the coins buy — including off-app screen time they configure. It's a way for a grandparent to pass down what they care about: patience, effort, and finishing what you start, practiced a little at a time. Not another toy forgotten by February.
Nothing to set up, nothing that overrides the parents' rules
The recommendation your readers can actually pull off. The family signs up directly at kudokids.org and the parents run everything — no passwords, menus, or updates for the grandparent to manage. And nothing a grandparent gives ever overrides a household rule; it layers on top of however the parents already handle screens, so it can't drag a reader into a fight with their adult kids.
Free for every family — so it fits a resource list, not a budget line
Free Explorer is the real product: routines and tasks, the full library of games, wellness check-ins, the parent dashboard, and a first companion, Cosmo (the astronaut kid). Premium ($11.99/mo or $99/yr) only adds the other themed worlds, companions, backgrounds, and companion looks and extras — it never walls off the learning. An organization can list it as a genuinely no-cost, no-strings resource; a reader who tries it risks nothing. And every safety claim is one a grandparent can verify before their name goes on it.

Common Questions
The grandparent never touches the setup. The family signs up directly at kudokids.org and the parents run everything — no passwords, updates, or menus for the grandparent. Their only job is the recommendation, and if a family stops using it they've lost nothing, because the plan is free. We also give you a one-page, plain-language walkthrough written for exactly this reader.
It's safe screen time for kids 3–12 that instills growth: the app exists to get real tasks, routines, and responsibilities done, and parents can set Kudo Coins to buy off-app device time. It turns the screen from a rival into a tool the family governs together — and it never competes with a book, a walk, or a phone call.
No. Parents hold every setting, and nothing a grandparent gives ever overrides a household rule. It's built to layer on top of however the parents already run screen time — the opposite of the handed-over iPad. It gives a family something to agree on, not something to argue about.
It's live in early access now on all three platforms — web, iOS, and Android — and families are already using it daily. KudoKids is founder-funded with no VC, so there's no investor clock forcing a pivot, and there's a stated commitment to keep the core app free for every family.
You don't have to. The free plan is the whole product for most families — routines, the full library of games, wellness check-ins, the parent dashboard, and a first companion — with nothing to buy. Premium is a parent's choice, never required, and never a wall in front of the learning. If a grandparent wants to give more, they can cover a year of Premium ($99) themselves — the parents never get the bill.
This is a community partnership: no money changes hands in either direction, no affiliate link, no commission — which means nothing for you to disclose and nothing that reads as a product placement in your vetting pipeline. The value is the gift itself: a genuinely free, no-strings resource for the grandparents you reach or serve, plus ready-made materials you can hand them.
