Applications

yoyopod ships a handful of deliberately small applications. This section describes each one as a product experience — what it does, how its flows feel, and where it runs.

How this section is organized

Section titled “How this section is organized”

Six applications plus a parking lot. The first four carry the device’s own screen names (Hub is the home wheel that leads to them): Listen, Talk, Ask, and Locate live on the device; the Parent App lives on the parent’s phone; Setup is the on-device onboarding that binds the two. What Comes Next holds vision ideas that are compatible with what yoyopod refuses to become.

Every app page shares the same five headings: What it is · Key flows · On the device · In the parent app · Status today — so you can compare apps column by column.

Ask: The Voice CompanionHold the button, ask a question, hear an answer — disclosed AI voice.
Locate: Location & Check-InsLive-ish location awareness for peace of mind.
The Parent AppThe companion mobile app: contacts, content, controls.
Setup: On-Device OnboardingFirst boot to paired-and-ready.
What Comes NextThe vision parking lot — bounded by what yoyopod is not.

How apps relate to the rest of the site

  • The User Stories show these apps in family life; every story’s “Behind the scenes” names the apps it touches.
  • The Family Guide teaches the same experiences as how-tos.
  • The Builders Guide explains the platform underneath — one runtime worker family per app, roughly.
