Everything you need to get the most out of Kinroot—your household operating system for parents
Getting Started
Start by adding your children. Each child gets a color that helps you organize events, meals, and activities.

- Click Add Child
- Fill in their name, age, and choose a color
- Optionally add medical info (allergies, medications)
- Save and repeat for each child
Keep track of appointments, activities, and special events—all color-coded by child.
- Open the Calendar page
- Click Add Event
- Enter event details (title, date, time, location)
- Select which child it's for (or leave blank for personal events)
- The event will automatically use your child's color
End the 5pm "what's for dinner?" panic with weekly meal planning and auto-generated shopping lists.

Frequently Asked Questions
No. Kinroot is designed exclusively for you, the parent. Children profiles are data entries that you create and manage—like calendar events or tasks. Children do not have accounts, cannot log in, and never access the platform.
Never. We use "fuzzy geolocation" to protect your privacy. Your exact address is never collected. For Village Network, we only show your city/state and approximate distance (randomized within ~3 miles). Other users cannot determine your exact location.
Yes. You can cancel your subscription at any time with no penalties or fees. Your access continues until the end of your current billing period. To cancel, go to Settings → Subscription → Manage Subscription.
Account deletion is permanent and irreversible. All your data (profile, children, events, meals, tasks, messages) is immediately deleted. Some data may remain in backups for up to 30 days, then it's gone forever. We recommend exporting your data before deleting your account.
