Kidzo fits you if
- You have a child aged 3 to 12 and you look at the drawings piling up at home wondering what they mean.
- You have no time for long reading and want one concrete step a day.
- You want somewhere to write down hard moments — a meltdown, bedtime resistance, a fight between siblings — and talk them through.
- You want a tool you use yourself, not one that adds screen time for your child.
- You want to gather your thoughts before seeing a professional.
- You have more than one child and want a separate record for each.
Kidzo doesn't fit you if
- You're looking for a diagnosis. Kidzo is not a medical device, makes no diagnosis, and doesn't replace clinical assessment.
- You want an app for your child to play with. Children don't open Kidzo; there are no games, no lessons for children, no drawing tools.
- There's an emergency. If there's any thought of harm to self or others, contact a professional or emergency services directly.
- You use Android. Right now there's only an iPhone version (iOS 17+).
- You expect a firm conclusion from a single drawing. Kidzo looks at patterns; what carries meaning is change over weeks.
- Your child doesn't draw yet. The app needs drawings the child made of their own accord.
| It does | It doesn't |
|---|---|
| Reads a drawing alongside the profile and your notes | Diagnose, or name a condition |
| Hands you one step to try each morning | Give long reports or homework |
| Logs a hard moment and asks the next morning | Monitor the child, track location or screen use |
| Keeps a separate file per child | Create a child account or a child login |
| Shows where a pattern came from | Use generic colour-to-emotion charts |
| Updates the file with your approval | Change a record without your approval |
COMMON QUESTIONS
What age range is Kidzo for?
It's built for parents of children aged 3 to 12. The lower bound is about when a child starts drawing recognisable figures; the upper bound is about when drawing stops being a child's main mode of expression.
Does it replace therapy?
No. Kidzo is not a medical device or a diagnostic tool and doesn't replace clinical assessment. If you've decided to see a professional, the drawings and notes you've collected make that conversation easier.
Will my child use the app?
No. Kidzo is written for the parent, end to end. The child has no account, never opens the app, and spends no screen time in it.
Is there an Android version?
Not currently. Kidzo is built for iPhone and supports iOS 17 and later.
