Kids without a phone: kids mode and the family tablet

Getting started3 min read · updated October 2026

In Beeside a child gets a profile, not an account. Add them during setup or later under More › Settings › Family › Add child.

Kids mode on your phone

  1. Open Chores and tap the sparkles icon at the top right, Start kids mode.
  2. The first time, set a four-digit PIN for kids mode. It only applies to this device.
  3. Hand over the phone. Your child sees “Hi Mia!”, their chores, stars and rewards, big and colourful.
  4. The only way out is Exit kids mode and your PIN.

Family tablet

A tablet in the hallway shows the family's day: “The Kellers today”, every child's chores, meals and events. It has no settings, shows no allowance and nothing private, and the screen stays on. You set it up like a kid's device, with a QR code.
