Description
KIN is a dedicated shared family calendar app built to keep everyone in a household aligned. It is voice-first: you hold to talk or type a natural-language request describing the activity, time, recurrence, and family members, and KIN turns it into a shared event, reminder, or to-do. You can also add events from photos, such as school schedules or appointment slips, by snapping a picture.

Everything lives in one shared family timeline with events, reminders, to-dos, recurring plans, and assignments, and family members can filter by person and use per-event privacy controls. Because it is available on both iPhone and Android, household members do not need matching phones. Since speech recognition and AI interpretation can make mistakes, KIN prompts you to review the interpreted date, time, recurrence, assignment, and reminders before relying on them.
KIN was created by a software engineer with 16 years at Microsoft, born from the real-life challenge of keeping a growing family's schedule organized when traditional and fridge calendars fell short. It is aimed at parents, couples, and mixed-phone households coordinating one family schedule. The app is available today on iPhone and Android, with iPad, Apple Watch, and Mac support in progress. Note that KIN does not currently import or sync external calendars like Google, Apple, or Outlook.
