Age suitability
Is Korbs right for my child?
Korbs is rated 4+, and it's built to sit gently in a family's day. Here's who it's for, what's inside, and what we've deliberately left out.
Who it's for
Korbs is a tool for the parent or caregiver. You log the foods, read Korbin's suggestions, and decide what to try next — your child rides along. That's true whether you're working with a toddler or an older child.
Korbin, the little train conductor, is the one part your child meets directly. He's calm and unhurried by design: no loud excitement, no startling sounds, and never a sense that a child fell short for only sniffing a new food. A new food is just the next station, ridden at whatever pace feels safe.
What's inside — and what isn't
Korbs is quiet on purpose. There is:
- No advertising — none, anywhere.
- No third-party tracking or analytics SDKs following your family around.
- No in-app purchases. Korbs is free today, and if a subscription is ever added it will be billed clearly through Apple, explained before you're charged.
- No accounts and no logins — nothing for a child to sign up for or sign in to.
- No chat, no social feed, no messaging — there's no one to reach and no way to be reached.
- No open web — Korbs doesn't drop your child into a browser or link out to the wider internet.
- Nothing objectionable — no violence, no mature themes, no gambling.
If your child uses the voice feature
Tapping the microphone lets a child say what they ate. Their speech is turned into text on the phone itself, and the audio is discarded — it never leaves the device. It's optional; everything in Korbs can be done by typing instead.
Your family's privacy
Your child's name, foods, and notes stay on your device, and in your own private iCloud if you turn on backup. The only thing that ever leaves is a food name (and a short list of foods to avoid), sent to generate Korbin's suggestions — never your child's name, age, or anything that identifies your family. The full detail is in the Privacy & Terms.
Not medical advice
Korbs is an educational and organizational companion — a way to keep track and keep moving. It is not a medical device, and it doesn't diagnose or treat any condition. If you have concerns about your child's eating, growth, or nutrition, your pediatrician or a feeding therapist is the right place to start.
