KidKit — Vollständige Anleitung

Alles, was Ihre Familie braucht, um Kleidung zu ordnen, synchron zu bleiben und weniger zu suchen.

Was ist KidKit?

KidKit is a family app for Eltern and Betreuungspersonen who want to know where each child's clothes are — at home, Kita, school, or a relative's house.

Instead of texting "Where are Emma's rain boots?", everyone in the family sees the same live list. When someone moves an item in the app, others see it right away on their iPhone or iPad.

  • Built for families with children (roughly ages 0–12)
  • Works on iPhone and iPad (iOS 15 or later)
  • Available in English, Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, Finnish, Spanish, German, and French
  • Free to start; optional Premium for larger families

Erste Schritte

You can use KidKit within minutes. No account is required on day one.

1. Download and open the app

  1. Install KidKit from the App Store on your iPhone or iPad.
  2. Open the app — it signs you in automatically on this device (Quick Start).
  3. Optional: add email and password later in Einstellungen to use KidKit on other devices.

2. Create or join a family

The first time you use KidKit you choose one of two paths:

  • Create a family — give your family a name (e.g. "The Anderssons"). You become the first member.
  • Join a family — open an invitation link sent by another member, or enter an invite code.
Family setup — create a new family or join with an invitation.

3. Add children

Each child gets their own list of items. Go to Einstellungen → Children → add a name. Free accounts can track one child; Premium allows unlimited children.

4. Create areas

Areas are places where clothes can be — "Home closet", "Daycare", "School bag", "Grandma's". Create them in Einstellungen → Areas or from the main screen. Free accounts include up to 3 areas.

Hauptbildschirme

After setup, the bottom bar has four tabs.

Bottom tabs: Nach Bereich, Nach Kind, Kleidungsstück hinzufügen (+), and Einstellungen.

Nach Bereich

See every area as a section with the items currently there. This is the main view most families use day to day. Pull down to refresh; use search to find an item by name, child, or area.

Items grouped under each area — drag items between areas here.

Nach Kind

Pick a child at the top, then see all their items and where each one is. Helpful when packing for one child.

Items for one child, grouped by location.

Kleidungsstück hinzufügen (+)

Tapping the center + tab opens the add-item form. You need at least one child and one area before you can save an item.

Einstellungen

Manage your profile, family, subscription, language, and help options.

Kleidung hinzufügen und organisieren

  1. Tap + (Kleidungsstück hinzufügen) or the + button on Nach Bereich / Nach Kind.
  2. Enter a name (e.g. "Red fleece").
  3. Choose a category (jacket, shoes, etc.) — the app may suggest one from the name.
  4. Select which child the item belongs to.
  5. Choose which area it is in right now.
  6. Optional (Premium): add a photo so everyone recognizes the item.
  7. Optional: turn on "Create as bag" to make a container (see below).
  8. Tap Save.
Kleidungsstück hinzufügen form with name, category, child, and area.

Bags and containers

A bag is a special item that holds other items — like a football bag or Kita backpack. Create it with "Create as bag" when adding an item. Drag loose items onto a bag to pack them; drag the whole bag to another area to move everything at once.

Grenzen der kostenlosen Version

  • 1 child
  • 10 clothing items
  • 3 areas

If you reach a limit, the app will prompt you to upgrade to Premium for unlimited children, items, and areas.

Kleidung zwischen Bereichen verschieben

When clothes move between home and Kita, update KidKit so the whole family stays aligned.

  1. Open the Nach Bereich tab.
  2. Press and hold an item (or bag), then drag it to another area's section.
  3. Release — the item's location updates for everyone immediately.
Dragging an item from one area section to another.

If you move something by mistake, look for an undo message at the bottom of the screen right after the move.

Mit der Familie teilen

Everyone in the same family sees the same children, areas, and items. Changes sync in real time when you have an internet connection.

Invite someone

  1. Go to Einstellungen → Family (members count).
  2. Tap to invite and share the link (Messages, Mail, etc.).
  3. The other person opens the link on their iPhone/iPad and joins your family in KidKit.

Leaving or managing members

Members can leave the family from the members screen. The family member who pays for Premium (subscription owner) can remove other members if needed.

Ruhe im Alltag

KidKit soll den Familienalltag leichter machen — nicht dein Handy den ganzen Tag vibrieren lassen.

Es gibt derzeit keine Push-Benachrichtigungen in KidKit und keinen Benachrichtigungsbereich zum Verwalten. Wenn du wissen willst, wo etwas ist, öffnest du die App — die Listen eurer Familie sind da, wenn du sie brauchst.

Vielleicht kommen später hilfreiche Hinweise — aber wir werden dich nicht zuspammen. KidKit geht ums Organisieren der Sachen eurer Kinder, nicht ums Unterbrechen eures Tages.

Tippps und Fehlerbehebung

Items look out of date

Pull down on Nach Bereich or Nach Kind to refresh. Check that you have internet access. Make sure you are in the correct family if you belong to more than one.

Cannot add more children, items, or areas

You may have reached the free tier limit. Open Einstellungen → Subscription to upgrade to Premium.

New phone or tablet

Before switching devices, add email and password under Profile. On the new device, choose Email & Password on the login screen and sign in. Your family data will sync from the cloud.

Invitation link does not work

Invitations can expire. Ask the family admin to send a new link from Einstellungen → Family. Open the link on the device where KidKit is installed.

Trial ended

You can continue in read-only mode or subscribe to Premium to keep adding and moving items.
