## What is PinMyKin?

PinMyKin lets everyone in your family say "I'm here" with a single tap — no typing, no texting, no phone required.

TAP TO CHECK IN
Tap Share on your Apple Watch (or Check In on your iPhone) and your current location and the time are sent to your family group. That's it.

SEE EVERYONE'S CHECK-INS
• All: every check-in, newest first, grouped by day
• By Person: each family member's history at a glance
• Map: everyone's recent check-ins in their own colour
• Place names, so you see "City Hall, San Francisco" instead of coordinates
• Tap any check-in for a map and a shortcut to Apple Maps

GET NOTIFIED
Get a notification when someone in your family checks in — but never for your own check-ins.

WORKS WITH KIDS' WATCHES
Children's Apple Watches set up with Family Setup don't need their own iPhone. Add their watch from the Family tab and they join with a 6-digit code.

AUTOMATIC CHECK-INS
Set times and days (for example 3:30 pm on school days) and a child's watch checks in by itself — no tap needed. Automatic check-ins are clearly labelled in the log.

YOUR FAMILY'S NAMES
Give everyone the name your family uses — "Emma", "Mum", "Grandpa" — and everyone in the group sees it.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• Your location is only shared when you tap, or at check-in times your family organiser sets for a watch — never tracked continuously
• Check-ins are stored in your family's own iCloud, not on our servers
• Only people you invite can see your family's check-ins
• No accounts, no ads, no tracking

PinMyKin uses iCloud. Everyone in the group needs to be signed in to iCloud.
