Turn a real friend into a battle robot.

Kin Bots is a kids' app that builds a one-of-a-kind battle bot character card for each real friend — a collectible, printable Kin Card you can level up, trade, and share.

How it works

Your friend is the engineer. You're the operator. Together you build a bot no one else has. Build and develop your friendship to upgrade your card and battle at recess.

1

Log a friend

Add a real friend by first name and pick a few things they like. That's all it takes to get started.

2

Build the bot

Kin Bots generates a unique battle bot character card — custom art, and an original backstory starring your friend as its engineer. Print to play with friends in person.

3

Level up & share

Strengthen bots by strengthening your friendship and learning about your friend, print Kin Cards at home, and share them by QR scan or email.

For parents

Kin Bots is built for kids, with safety and simplicity first.

🔒

Minimal data

A child's friends, interests, and bots stay on the device! We don't store your child's social graph on our servers.

🚫

No ads, no tracking!

There are no third-party ads and no behavioural tracking in the app.

💰

Credits, clearly

Kin Bots is free to download. Building bots uses credits — everyone starts with plenty, and any paid credit packs are optional and behind the adult-only gate. No surprise charges.

👤

Parent-set-up accounts

A parent creates the account behind an adult-only gate. One account, one child, fully under your control.

🤖

Safe AI art

Bot art and stories are AI-generated with kid-safe guardrails — sci-fi mechanical designs, no gore or realistic weapons.

🔒

Your data, your call

You can review, change, or request deletion of your child's information any time. Read the full Privacy Notice & Policy.

FAQ

Who is Kin Bots for?

Kids, with a parent or guardian setting things up. It's designed to be simple, friendly, and safe for younger players.

What does it cost?

Kin Bots is free to download. Building bots uses credits; everyone starts with plenty, and paid credit packs may be offered later. There are no ads.

Do I need an account?

A parent sets up one account (email and password) behind an adult-only check. We store only the login email, the child's first name, and a credit balance — nothing else leaves the device.

Is it on iPhone?

Kin Bots launches on Android first. An iOS version is on the way — check back here for the App Store link.

Can I print the cards?

Yes. Every Kin Card can be printed at home as a fold-over card with the robot art on the front and the backstory, stats, and a shareable QR code on the back.

How do friends share bots?

Each printed card has a QR code. Scanning it with another phone running Kin Bots adds that bot to their collection, or you can email a printable PDF.
