Can I share Kubrio with my partner or grandparents?
Yes. Kubrio is a family account. Invite your partner as a co-parent — they get full access and can even handle the payment — and invite grandparents as viewers, who get a read-only window into the kids' projects plus Claire's weekly summary. One membership covers everyone.
Yes — this is built in, not a workaround. Kubrio runs on one family account anchored to one parent, and that parent can invite the other adults who love the kid: a partner as a co-parent, grandparents and relatives as viewers. Everyone gets their own login, sees the same kids, and nobody manages a second, disconnected copy of the family.
What can a co-parent do?
A co-parent has the same day-to-day access you do. They see every kid's projects and portfolio, read Claire's notes, approve things that need approving, and open the kid studio on the family's devices. If you were invited before the family became a member, you can even complete the membership payment from your own account — useful when one parent finds Kubrio and the other one holds the card.
The one thing a co-parent doesn't hold is the account anchor: the membership, the founding number, and the kids' profiles live with the parent who created the family. For how the membership itself works, see membership and billing.
What can grandparents see?
Grandparents join as viewers — a deliberately read-only role. They see the kids' finished projects and progress from their own login, and they receive Claire's weekly family summary, so Sunday phone calls start from "I saw your ocean documentary!" instead of "what did you do this week?"
What viewers can't do is just as deliberate. They can't change anything, can't approve or delete work, and can't open the kid studio — a kid session is something only a parent or co-parent can start. It is a front-row seat, not a second set of keys.
How do invites work?
From your dashboard, open the account menu and choose Family, then invite by email and pick the relationship — partner or grandparent. New parents can also do this during sign-up, before choosing the membership, which is handy when the decision is one you're making together.
If the person already has a Kubrio account they're added instantly; otherwise they get an email from Claire and simply sign up with that address — no codes to copy. Invites expire after two weeks if unused, and you can revoke a pending invite or remove a member at any time from the same page.
Does this cost extra?
No. One membership covers the whole family — every kid, every studio app, and every adult you invite. Inviting a co-parent or grandparents doesn't add a seat fee, because the point of a family account is that the family is the unit, not the login.
Frequently asked questions
Can both parents use Kubrio at the same time?
Yes. Each adult has their own login to the same family. There is no shared password, and both of you see the kids' work, Claire's summaries, and anything that needs a parent's approval.
Can my partner pay instead of me?
Yes. Invite them as a co-parent first. Once they sign up, their account shows the family's membership checkout, and paying from there activates the membership for the whole family.
Can grandparents help my kid inside the studio?
The studio itself opens only for a parent or co-parent, because a kid session can create and change things. Grandparents see everything the kid finishes — projects, portfolio, the weekly summary — but from the outside looking in, which is exactly the seat most grandparents want.
Who receives Claire's weekly email?
Everyone in the family: the account owner, co-parents, and viewers. One email, the whole household in the loop. See [what parents see](/docs/weekly-reports) for what's in it.
Can I remove someone later?
Yes, at any time, from the Family page. Removing a member takes effect immediately; they keep their own Kubrio login but lose the window into your family.
