Parental lock & PINs

Updated 21 July 2026

The parental lock keeps curious fingers out of the important bits. It's useful on a family tablet that everyone touches.

What the PIN protects

With the lock on, Plannie asks for the 4–6 digit PIN to:

  • Open Settings (once per session).
  • Add, edit, or delete rewards, so ticket prices aren't renegotiated behind your back. Redeeming is never locked; kids can always spend the tickets they've earned.

Turn it on

Settings → Family & access → Parental lock. Set the PIN, confirm it, done. Turning it off asks for the current PIN.

You can also set the PIN during initial setup, or skip it there and add it here later.

Forgot the PIN?

Choose Forgot PIN at the prompt. The household owner receives a reset link by email that opens the set-a-new-PIN screen.

Wall-mounted tablets

On a mounted tablet, the native app's "always on screen" mode keeps Plannie awake in landscape, and exiting it requires the PIN, so the display stays the family display.
