Frequently asked

Everything you need to know about HeyKit.

Is HeyKit free?

Yes, HeyKit is completely free for families. There are no subscriptions, ads, or hidden charges. You'll never be asked to pay.

How does family sharing work?

Create a family by signing in with Google. Once set up, you can invite your partner or other family members via a secure share link. Everyone in the family can see and add shared expenses, view schedules, and manage the shopping list together.

How does the receipt scanner work?

Snap a photo of your receipt when adding an expense. The app uses AI (Anthropic Claude or OpenAI) to automatically extract the store name and total amount, so you don't have to type them in manually.

Is there an app?

Yes — HeyKit is on the App Store for iPhone, and the web app works on any phone, tablet or computer. On Android, open heykit.io in Chrome and tap 'Add to Home Screen'. Everything stays in sync between them.

What is Ask HeyKit?

An AI assistant that knows your family's HeyKit: ask what you spent on groceries this month, who's doing pickup today or what's on the calendar, and ask it to add an expense, a to-do or a shopping item. You can also connect HeyKit to Claude or ChatGPT.

How does the photo frame work?

Open your family's frame link on an old tablet or iPad and leave it in the kitchen. It shows what's next for each child, the weather, today's calendar, chores to tick off, tonight's dinner ideas and a slideshow of your family photos, and refreshes itself.

Can the children use it?

Yes. Each child gets their own private link (with an optional PIN) to tick off chores and check their pocket money — no account or email needed.

Is my data private?

Absolutely. Your data is stored privately in our database and is only accessible to you and your family members. We don't sell your data, show ads, track you across the web, or share anything with third parties. Our privacy policy covers full details of data handling under POPIA (South Africa).

Can I track staff who work at my house?

Yes. Add staff members (cleaner, gardener, nanny) with their pay rate. They get a unique clock-in link that uses GPS to verify they're at your house. You can view their hours, assign tasks, and get Telegram alerts when they arrive or leave.

What are the daily briefings?

Briefings arrive as app notifications, or on Telegram if you connect it: daily morning summaries of the family schedule, afternoon pickup reminders, evening previews for tomorrow, and budget alerts when categories are approaching their limits. You'll also get alerts when staff clock in or out.

Does it work with my calendar?

Both ways. Add your Google, Apple, Outlook or school calendars with their private iCal link and the events show in HeyKit, on the photo frame and in the morning briefing. And HeyKit gives you a calendar feed of the children's schedules to subscribe to in Apple or Google Calendar.

Can I add loyalty cards to my Apple Wallet?

Yes. Tap any loyalty card in HeyKit and add it to Apple Wallet — double-press the side button at checkout, scan, done. No more opening the app at the till.

Can I upload my municipal rates bill?

Yes. Upload your City of Cape Town rates bill PDF and the app automatically extracts rates, water, sewerage, refuse, and other charges. You can track trends over time and spot billing anomalies.

What happens if I lose my phone?

Nothing — your data is stored in the cloud. Just sign in from any device with your Google account and everything is there. No data is stored locally beyond the offline cache.

Can I export my data?

Yes. From Profile & Settings, you can export all your expense data. You can also request full account deletion at any time under POPIA.

What currency does it support?

HeyKit is designed for South African families and uses South African Rand (R). Multi-currency support may come in a future update.
