Getting started
Is Lanibo free? Yes — free to download and use, with no ads and no in-app purchases.
Which phones does it work on? iPhone and Android, phones and tablets. Everything stays in sync on all of them.
Do children need an e-mail or a phone number? No. A parent gives each child a username and password. Little ones without a phone can share a family tablet. See Getting started.
How does the other parent join? ⚙️ Settings → Family → Make an invitation link — they open it and make their own login. See Getting started.
Which languages? 14 — English, Bulgarian, Spanish, German, French, Portuguese, Italian, Dutch, Polish, Swedish, Turkish, Japanese, Chinese and Korean. Each person picks their own in the Profile.
Every day
How do points work? A task can be worth points; when it's done (and a parent approves a child's), the points go to whoever did it. Children trade them for rewards. Don't want points? Turn them off in Settings. See Points.
A child ticked a task — why isn't it done? A child's "Done" waits for a parent's approval, so it's really done. Parents see the number on the Tasks tab. See Tasks.
Can it remind us every week? Yes — make it a routine: every day, certain weekdays or monthly, and children can take turns.
No notifications arrive. Profile → Notifications: are they allowed on this phone? Then Send a test notification.
Something important must not be missed. Turn on ⏰ Alarm: the phone rings like an alarm clock, even on silent.
The family
Can grandma see the children's day without the app? Yes — give her a trusted person's link.
Can grandparents see the shopping list? Share a link to the list — they can tick and add, no app needed.
Can children see everything? No — not the parents' notes, bills, others' documents or anything marked parents only. See Privacy.
Calendars and connections
Does it work with Google Calendar? Yes — both ways, and your other calendars can be brought in.
Does it work with Alexa or Siri? Alexa (in English) and Siri and Shortcuts on iPhone.
What about smartwatches? Task notifications come with Done and In 30 min on an Apple Watch or Wear OS watch. See Smartwatches.
Privacy and account
Who can see our family's things? Only the people in your family. See Privacy.
Does the AI see our data? Only if a parent turns the AI assistant on, and then only what you send it.
How do I get our data, or delete it? ⚙️ Settings → Family → Download the family's data; your Profile → Delete my account. See Privacy.
