Help · Owner controls

The feature control panel — what your cell sees, and what it can't switch off.

ConKarma starts small and reveals more over time. The cell owner decides which feature bundles are switched on for the household — with one floor that can never be turned off.

The feature control panel is where the cell owner decides which feature bundles are switched on for the household — with one floor that can never be turned off. A new cell starts on a small core surface so no family is buried in features on day one, and more capabilities reveal over time only by pull: you discover them through What's Brewing when you're ready, never because the app pushed a popup at you. The owner turns whole bundles on or off rather than wading through a per-toggle maze.

Safety is the one thing that stays on for every cell, always — Lookouts, Care, helpline access, and distress paths can't be disabled by anyone. Every change is logged and visible, and where a change affects a child the kid-override co-sign still applies, so one adult can't strip a protection a co-parent set.

Core-first, then reveal by pull

A new cell begins on a small core surface, so no family is buried under features on day one. More capabilities reveal over time, and only by pull — you discover them through What's Brewing when you're ready, never because the app pushed a popup at you.

Bundle-level control, not a settings maze

The owner turns whole feature bundles on or off for the household — not a confusing per-toggle maze. Pick the kinds of things your family wants (say, the creative loops, or the money jars) and leave the rest off until you want them. Changes apply at the cell level and are easy to revisit.

A safety floor that can never be switched off

Some things are not optional and never will be. Lookouts, Care, helpline access, and distress paths stay on for every cell, always — an owner cannot disable them, and neither can anyone else. Safety is a floor, not a feature you can toggle away.

Transparent and audited, with co-sign for kids

Every change to what's on is logged and visible — nobody quietly reshapes the household behind the others' backs. Where a change affects a child's experience, the kid-override co-sign still applies, so one adult can't unilaterally strip a protection a co-parent set.

No FOMO, no unlock-as-pressure

We deliberately don't gate features as status or dangle them as rewards to grind for. A revealed feature is an invitation you can ignore, not a prize you missed — there is no unlock pressure, no streak to keep a feature, and no badge for turning things on.
