    I really like this App. It's easy to use and I like that it's just for me. As a mom I often fall short on time and it helps me to remember to message my friends. It's also practical to remember things about people (I like to use it as some sort of diary for my children too). Would recommend!!

Thank you for this. I am Kinu's founder. Leaving those apps costs you the feed, which is the point. It also quietly costs you the birthdays and the small updates, which nobody was asking to give up. That second part is what Kinu is for. Glad it is working for you.

Thank you, this made my week. I am Kinu's founder, and "just for me" and "helps me remember to message my friends" is exactly what we hoped it would be. The diary-for-your-children use is a lovely one as well. Thank you for recommending it.

What is Kinu?

Kinu is a private app for remembering the small details about the friends and family you care about: the name of a friend's new dog, a nephew's exam date, a birthday that keeps slipping past. It holds the moments, stories, notes, voice notes, and important dates you save, brings them back when they matter, and gives you a gentle reminder when it has been a while.

No feeds, no followers, no likes, no streaks, no ads. Nothing counts your interactions and nothing nags. Kinu works fully offline, and everything you save stays on your device. Kinu Plus adds encrypted sync across your devices.

Kinu is free for up to 10 people. Kinu Plus adds unlimited people, encrypted sync across devices, and desktop access on the web. The next time the dog comes up, the name is already there.
