We are pleased that you are using our tonies app. Our App-Tonies are always hard at work for you. In this update, they have once again worked on improvements. If your mobile phone memory is full during a recording, you can now save your recording until then. We have also optimised some steps in the setup process of the Toniebox: The request for access rights has been corrected. WLAN names (SSIDs) can now also be entered manually. Occasionally, it can happen that the set up process was successful despite the code word "hedgehog". This is now displayed. Do you have questions or feedback? The Tonie customer service is there for you in your profile. Note The use of the Content for text and data mining of (generative) AI systems is expressly reserved in the context specified in clause 13.4 of the Terms of Use and is therefore prohibited.

Bored? No idea what to do today? myKando Ideas is your wizard's hat against idle time — tap it, and a concrete, curated idea falls out. HOW IT WORKS: Pick who's in (solo, with a kid, siblings, the whole family) and what mode you're up for (building, cooking, moving, exploring, creating, reading, playing). Tap the hat. An idea falls out — complete with everything you need: what to do, what you'll need, how long it takes, and what you'll end up with. Example: constellation "parent + kid", mode "build", theme "water" → "Build a water wheel from PET bottles that actually spins on the garden hose. (~45 min, free, what you end up with: a working water wheel)." NORTH STAR: Make something, don't just consume. Every idea in myKando Ideas produces something tangible — an object, an experience, an insight, a story. Nothing to scroll past. FEATURES: - A wizard's hat instead of an algorithm — one focused idea per tap - Curated, not AI-generated — no slop - Filter by constellation, mode, budget, duration, indoor/outdoor - Google & YouTube research in one tap - German + English, dark mode, works offline FREE & AD-FREE: No ads. No in-app purchases. No trackers. Period. PRIVACY: Your account works across all myKando apps. History is stored encrypted and syncs across your devices. Account deletion is available at any time.
