Jogg Mini — Parent Guide

Everything you need to set up, manage, and get the most out of Jogg Mini for your family

By MokingBird

Welcome, Parents

Jogg Mini is built for children — but it's designed with parents in mind. You have complete visibility over what your child learns, complete control over how long they learn, and complete confidence that the app is safe, ad-free, and respects your child's privacy.

This guide walks through everything: setting up your account, adding your children, configuring controls, reading progress reports, managing multiple children and devices, and everything in between. Bookmark it — you'll find it useful as your child progresses through the app.

Part 1: Getting Started

What You Need to Get Started

Your child doesn't need an email address. Children under 13 don't need any login credentials at all — they just select their profile when they open the app.

Step 1: Download the App

Download Jogg Mini from the App Store (iOS) or Google Play (Android). Web access may be available depending on deployment.

When you open the app for the first time, you can explore it as a guest — no account required. But to save progress, add children, and access parental controls, you'll need to create a parent account.

Step 2: Create Your Parent Account

Tap the avatar icon in the top corner, then Sign Up.

When asked for your age, enter your own age (16 or older). The app will present the option to Create a Parent Profile.

You can register using:

Supabase maintains the app session after Google/Apple authentication. JoggMini does not offer a separate email-password account path for eligible parents.

Step 3: Set Up Parent Protection (PIN/Lock)

After registering, JoggMini prompts you to set up a parent protection PIN before entering adult areas. This protects parental controls and helps prevent unauthorized settings changes on shared devices.

Choose a PIN your child will not guess. Exact setup steps can vary by app version.

Important: Store your PIN somewhere safe. Recovery options depend on account method and active app implementation.

Parent protection may be required when you:

Step 4: Add Your First Child

During onboarding, you may add your first child or choose Add Kid Later and continue to the dashboard. When you add one, here is what you set up:

Basic Profile:

Learning Settings (optional but recommended):

The default settings are calibrated by age:

You can always change these later.

Step 5: Set the Default Child on This Device

After adding your child, you'll select which child is the default user on this device. When the app opens, it will automatically load that child's profile — they just tap play and start learning.

If you have multiple children sharing a device, any child can switch to their own profile from the home screen. No password required for kids — they just select their name.

Part 2: The Parent Dashboard

The Parent Dashboard is your control centre for everything related to your children's learning on Jogg Mini.

How to access it:

What You'll See

The dashboard shows all your registered children with a quick summary for each:

👧 Emma, Age 10            [Default on this device]
   85% accuracy · Bronze Tier · 🔥 5-day streak
   Last active: 2 hours ago
   [View Stats]  [Settings]  [Lock App]

👦 David, Age 8
   78% accuracy · Oak Tier · 🔥 3-day streak
   Last active: Yesterday
   [View Stats]  [Settings]  [Lock App]

[+ Add Another Child]

From here you can jump directly to each child's stats, adjust their settings, or lock the app if needed.

Part 3: Managing Your Children

Viewing Progress

Tap View Stats for any child to see their complete progress report:

Overall Stats:

Progress by World:

Progress by Topic:

Recent Activity:

Download a Report:

Editing Child Settings

Tap Settings for any child to adjust their learning configuration:

Daily Reminders

Turn on a daily reminder notification at a specific time. Customise the message if you like. This is the most effective tool for building a consistent learning habit — a regular prompt at the same time each day significantly increases long-term engagement.

Screen Time Limit

Set a daily cap on how long the child can use Jogg Mini:

When the limit is reached, the app can either:

Focus Topics

This is the most powerful parental control in Jogg Mini. It lets you decide which AI/ML topics your child's questions are drawn from. By default, all topics are enabled. But if you want your child to focus on specific areas — or if you want to exclude topics they're not ready for — you can configure this precisely.

Topics you can toggle per child:

When you select specific topics, questions in your child's quizzes and practice sessions will only be drawn from those topics. This is useful for:

Difficulty Levels

Select which difficulty levels your child can encounter:

You can enable multiple difficulty levels simultaneously. For most children, enabling two consecutive levels (Easy + Medium, or Medium + Hard) provides the best mix of confidence-building and challenge.

Question Types

Toggle which types of questions your child sees:

Quiz Participation

Control whether your child can join organised quizzes (set up by teachers or other parents). This is enabled by default. If you'd prefer your child to only use the self-paced practice features, you can turn quiz joining off here.

Locking and Unlocking the App

Sometimes you need to put the app on hold — bedtime, family time, homework first. Tap Lock App for any child and the app will display a lock screen when that child tries to access it.

You'll be asked for an optional reason (bedtime, homework, etc.) — this is displayed to the child so they understand why the app is locked.

To unlock, tap Unlock App from the parent dashboard and enter your PIN.

Deleting a Child Profile

If you need to remove a child profile permanently, tap Settings → Delete Profile for that child.

You'll be shown a summary of everything that will be deleted:

You'll be asked to type "DELETE" to confirm. This action is permanent and cannot be undone.

Deletion requests are processed under our Privacy Policy timelines and legal-retention obligations.

Part 4: Multiple Children

Jogg Mini is built for families with multiple children. Here's how it works.

Adding More Children

From the parent dashboard, tap + Add Another Child and follow the same setup process as the first child. Each child gets their own independent profile, settings, progress tracking, and default device assignment.

Free tier: 1 child profile Premium: up to 5 children Family: up to 8 children Family BIG: unlimited children

Assigning Devices

If your children each have their own device, you can set a different default child on each device. The steps:

  1. Open the app on the relevant device
  2. Access Parent Dashboard and enter your PIN
  3. Open Device Management and choose Use on this Device for the child

The app explains that the latest cloud snapshot replaces conflicting local progress; balances are not merged. Confirm or cancel. After success, that child becomes active on the device. Cloud recovery requires eligibility under the current plan.

Parent Device Mode

If you want to use a device purely for management — monitoring all your children without setting any child as the default — tap Parent Device Mode from the dashboard. On that device, the app shows your full management view without loading any child's profile by default.

Part 5: Co-Parenting and Shared Access

If you share parenting responsibilities with a partner, Jogg Mini supports two parents on one account.

Adding a Second Parent

Eligible paid plans can invite a co-parent from Family Management. Share the generated invitation through a channel you control:

When the second parent completes the invite flow, shared-management access is granted according to the configured permission model in that release.

Permission structure:

Both parents receive progress notifications and have equal visibility. Settings changes by either parent take effect immediately across all devices.

Part 6: Multi-Device Sync

Jogg Mini syncs account-linked data across devices through backend services. Sync timing depends on connectivity, background state, and server/device conditions.

This means:

Offline Support

Jogg Mini works offline. If the device loses internet connection:

Part 7: Understanding the Gamification

Children learn better when they're engaged. Jogg Mini uses a reward system that motivates consistent engagement with real learning material. Understanding how it works helps you interpret your child's progress.

Stars and Tiers

Stars are lifetime progression calculated by each submitted mode. World Lane uses correct-answer difficulty and time bands; Daily Quest, Arcade and Random Quiz use their specific rules. Wrong answers are recycled for learning and never subtract Stars.

Total Stars determine one of twelve data-defined Tiers. The same canonical Tier appears in Home, Progress and Profile; there are no XP Levels.

Stars

Stars are a quality rating (1–3) earned per correct answer:

Stars are used to purchase hints (5 stars = 1 hint). Children learn to manage their star balance.

Gems

Gems are rare once-only milestone counters earned from eligible World blocks, cumulative Stars, every tenth Arcade level and the 30-day Daily Quest streak. They are not deducted as a substitute score.

Streaks

The streak counter shows how many consecutive days your child has been active. If they skip a day, the streak resets to 0. This is one of the most effective habit-building mechanics in the app — a 7-day streak has real meaning.

Streak milestones earn special badges:

Worlds and Unlocking

Ten Worlds cover AI foundations, data, patterns, applications, neural networks, safety/ethics, prompts, agents, creative workflows and systems thinking. Access is not controlled by legacy XP gates; learning progress is shown through mastery, accuracy, Stars and Tier.

Part 8: The Ten Learning Worlds

| World | Topic | Availability | |-------|-------|--------------| | Robot Valley | AI foundations, agents, and everyday reasoning | Available | | Data Valley | Data, labels, quality, examples, and learning from information | Available | | Pattern Mountain | Patterns, embeddings, classification, prediction, and model thinking | Available | | Smart City | Practical AI systems in transport, health, homes, schools, and communities | Available | | Future Lab | Neural networks, training, fine-tuning, evaluation, and future-facing AI ideas | Available | | AI Safety & Ethics | Privacy, fairness, bias, responsibility, reliability, and safe use | Available | | Prompt Plaza | Prompt writing, instruction quality, context, examples, and output review | Available | | Agent Academy | AI agents, tools, planning, memory, handoffs, and responsible automation | Available | | AI Studio | Creative AI workflows, media generation, review, iteration, and quality control | Available | | AI Forest | Systems thinking, environmental analogies, robustness, interdependence, and AI impact | Available |

Watching your child progress through these worlds is watching them build a complete understanding of AI — from the foundations to the frontiers.

Part 9: Organised Quizzes

What Are Organised Quizzes?

Organised quizzes are created by teachers and joined through a rate-limited six-digit code. QR/share-link joining is not part of the implemented workflow.

As a parent, you can:

  1. Allow or block your child from joining organised quizzes (via Settings → Quiz Participation)
  2. Create your own quizzes for your child to take as a structured session

Creating a Quiz as a Parent

From the parent dashboard, tap Organise Quiz to create a custom quiz:

The organizer shares the six-digit code; the learner enters it in Join Quiz or Join a Classroom.

After they complete the quiz, you'll see their full results in the parent dashboard — including which questions they got wrong and the correct explanations.

Part 10: Parent Tasks and My Tasks

Parents can create a custom task or a question-based task for an authorized child. Question tasks use the shared quiz builder and do not become complete from a simple checkbox: the child opens Menu → My Tasks, reviews the assignment, starts the typed task quiz and submits answers. Custom tasks have an explicit completion action.

The assignment detail route is used by in-app navigation and notification deep links. The parent can inspect authorized completion date, question count, score/accuracy and elapsed time from the dashboard. Parent tasks do not award Stars, but a question task at 70% or better can count once toward qualifying Quiz Count. Freemium supports up to three active parent-created tasks; paid plans support unlimited tasks under their entitlement.

Part 11: Weekly Reports

Premium subscribers receive weekly progress reports covering:

Reports can be downloaded in supported formats available in your app build (for example PDF export where implemented).

Part 12: Privacy and Your Child's Data

We take privacy seriously — especially for children.

What we collect for children under 13:

What we never collect:

Your rights:

We never sell your data or your child's data to advertisers. The app is completely ad-free. The current privacy policy is available at https://joggmini.mokingbird.xyz/privacypolicy.

Part 13: Common Questions

Q: My child is under 13. Do they need their own email or login? No. Children under 13 don't login at all. You create and manage their profile from your parent account. They just select their profile on the device when they open the app.

Q: My child forgot their app PIN. What do I do? If your child has set an optional app PIN (4-digit lock for the app itself), you can reset it from the parent dashboard → your child's settings → Reset App PIN. You'll need your parent PIN to do this.

Q: I forgot my Parent PIN. Use available in-app recovery options if present, or contact support at [email protected] account help.

Q: Can my child's teacher see my child's personal information? Teachers can see classroom/quiz participation context tied to classes and quizzes they manage (which may include student display identifiers and performance). Teachers do not get household-parent account controls or parent credentials.

Q: Can I have the same account on multiple devices? Yes. Log in with the same credentials on any device. Each device can have a different default child, and all progress syncs in real time.

Q: My child has been using the app as a guest. Can I link their guest progress to my parent account? Yes, when the child is using the same device. Sign in or sign up as the parent, create a new kid profile for that child, then choose Link current device profile to this new kid when prompted. JoggMini links eligible local progress, Stars, Gems, badges and pending reward events to the newly-created parent-managed child profile. This is not a general merge tool for older cloud profiles; existing cloud kids should use Load kid profile to this device.

Q: What happens to my child's data if I cancel the premium subscription? Your account moves to the free tier. All your child's existing progress data is retained. You lose access to premium features (additional child profiles, full question library, reports) but the data isn't deleted.

Q: How do I cancel my subscription? Subscriptions are managed through the App Store (iOS) or Google Play (Android). Cancel through your device's subscription management settings. You can also contact us at [email protected].

Part 14: Tips for Getting the Most Out of Jogg Mini

1. Set a Daily Time, Not Just a Limit

A 15-minute daily reminder at the same time each day is more effective than a 2-hour weekly session. Consistency builds habits. The daily streak mechanic rewards exactly this pattern.

2. Let the Streak Do the Work

Don't lecture your child about learning every day. Just set up a daily reminder and let the streak anxiety do the motivating. A child who is on a 12-day streak will usually find their own motivation to keep it going.

3. Review the Accuracy Report Together

Once a week, sit with your child and look at their accuracy by topic. Celebrate the high-accuracy topics. Ask curious questions about the low-accuracy ones: "What do you think data bias means?" You might learn something too.

4. Use Focus Topics Strategically

If your child's school is covering AI topics, use the Focus Topics setting to emphasise those layers. Jogg Mini becomes much more effective as a supplement when it's aligned with what your child is encountering in class.

5. Create a Family Quiz Night

Use the Quiz Organiser to create a 10-question quiz and have your child try it with the whole family watching. Kids love performing for an audience, and explaining wrong answers to curious parents is genuinely great learning.

6. Celebrate Tier Promotions

When your child levels up from Bronze to Copper, from Steel to Iron, or from Silver to Electrum — make it a moment. These are real achievements that represent sustained learning. A small celebration reinforces the connection between learning and reward in a healthy, memorable way.
