Parent Guide
On Mekkit you hold every control over your child's safety and experience. This guide explains where everything is.
The parent gate
You enter the parent area (approvals, controls, subscription, deletion) with your parent PIN. Without a PIN you unlock it by re-entering your account password or signing in again with Apple/Google. After several wrong attempts the PIN locks temporarily. The parent area closes by itself after 15 minutes.
Approvals
- Public gallery: if your child wants to share an app to the gallery you get a notification. If you approve, our moderators review it; only then does it appear in the gallery.
- Joining a class: a request to join with a teacher's code waits for your approval.
- Sound recording: recording their own voice into a project is enabled with your approval.
- Approval requests expire if they are not answered within 30 days.
Controls (per child)
- Daily time limit (minutes; 0 = unlimited).
- AI features on/off.
- Seeing the gallery on/off.
- Asking to share publicly on/off.
- Voice input on/off.
- Sound recording permission.
- Help level: Show me · Give me a hint · I'll do it.
Dashboard and report
For each child you see this week's time, concepts learned, lessons, projects, published apps and streak. If you want, we email a weekly report every Sunday evening (18:00 local time); you can switch it off in parent settings.
Safety notifications
If your child repeatedly tries to write unsafe content, or writes something related to self-harm, we send you a gentle notification. We never store or send the text itself — only the category.
Data, deletion, subscription
- Download data: all parent and child data as a JSON archive.
- Delete child: the profile, projects and published apps are deleted immediately.
- Delete account: everything, including all children, is deleted; remember to cancel the subscription in the store as well.
- Subscription: on iPhone Settings → Apple ID → Subscriptions; on Android Play Store → Payments & subscriptions.
