Family life,
moving together.
Your week, your lists, your trips and the small decisions — gathered into a single, quiet home that everyone in the household can see. No more scattered group chats, sticky notes and screenshots.
Running a household is a lot
Everyone keeps the family in their head a little differently. Kinrows gives you one place to keep it together.
It's built for real homes — two parents, kids, the grandparents who help out, the sister across town. Everyone sees what matters, and nothing important slips through.
Plan the week together
A calendar the whole house actually keeps up.
Month, week and day views with everyone's events colour-coded by person. Add an appointment in seconds, see who's attending, and never double-book a Saturday again.
- Shared family calendar with per-person colours
- Appointments with place, time, notes and who's going
- Care Cascade — need someone to cover school pickup? Ask your trusted contacts in a tap, see who said yes, and book it.
- Birthdays and anniversaries that recur on their own
Lists & decisions
Make the call together — lists and all.
Keep the shared lists everyone can tick off, then settle the little debates with a quick poll. No more "did anyone grab…?" or "wait, what did we decide?"
- Shared lists the whole house can edit and tick off
- Assign an item to a person so nothing's just assumed
- Decisions — share a link, photo or 2–4 option poll and vote
- React and comment, so a choice actually gets made
Stay in touch
The family chat that isn't buried in your phone.
Household and group chats in one calm place — and you can pull any item, a trip, a decision, an event, straight into the conversation. Keep private notes, and a feed for the moments worth saving.
- Messages — household and group chats
- Quote any item — a trip, poll or event — right into a chat
- Notes — private by default, shared when you choose
- Family feed for the photos and everyday wins
Stay close, even apart
Trips, arrivals, friendly rivalries and the dates that matter.
Know when the grandparents are on their way. Plan a trip with stays and an itinerary. Keep a little fitness rivalry going. And never miss a birthday with a gift idea ready.
- Trips & arrivals — share a trip, see "30 minutes away" and "arrived safely"
- Itineraries with stays, places and plans for the whole household
- Rivalries — step challenges with levels and a leaderboard, via Apple Health
- Gifts & dates — track ideas per person and get a nudge before the day
The idea behind Kinrows
A family does better when it rows together.
Kin, pulling in the same direction — that's the whole name. When everyone can see what needs doing, takes an oar, and cheers the others on, a household stops feeling like a juggling act and starts feeling like a team.
So much of family life is invisible — the remembering, the planning, the "did anyone…?". Research on the household mental load is blunt: when that work is made visible and shared, stress falls and partnership grows. Kinrows brings it into the open, so no one carries it alone.
Children who know their family's story — its plans, its rhythms, its in-jokes — are measurably more resilient and secure. One shared space for the calendar, the trips and the everyday keeps everyone in the same boat, not five separate ones.
Decades of relationship research land on the same finding: a win that's shared and cheered is worth far more than one kept quiet. Kinrows surfaces the milestones — a first goal, a finished challenge, a small victory — so the whole family gets to celebrate together.
Informed by research on sharing the household's mental load, on family narratives and resilience, and on how celebrating each other's good news strengthens our closest bonds.

Private by design
Your family's life stays your family's.
Kinrows is built around households. Your home's calendar, money, lists and messages are walled off to the people you've actually invited — enforced at the data layer, not just hidden in the interface.
We don't sell data and we don't run ads. There's nothing to mine, because the app isn't built to mine it.
Each home's data is scoped to its members. Other families can't see it — by design, in the database.
The app is free because it's simple and honest — not because you're the product.
Invite people you trust. Share across families with clans only when you want to.
Optional add-on · Concierge
A quiet hand, only if you want one.
The app is complete on its own. Concierge is an optional helper that knows your whole household — calendar, lists, budget, trips, birthdays — keeps you ahead of it, and, when you ask, quietly runs the app for you. Turn it on if it helps. Leave it off and nothing changes.
One warm, prioritised read on your family right now — what's today, what's slipping, what needs a decision.
Ask in plain words — "add Leo's recital Friday at 6," "move the dentist to Thursday," "start a packing list for the cabin," "we settled on the blue couch." It creates, edits and clears things across your calendar, lists, decisions, trips and more — then tells you exactly what it did.
"Trip in 14 days, no stay booked yet." "Leo's birthday is close." Helpful, throttled, never naggy.
It keeps your family's context, so you can pick a conversation back up days later instead of starting over. Quick summaries run on-device, you choose what it can read, and you can clear what it remembers anytime.
Snap a receipt and it logs the spend for you; ask what's for dinner and get real ideas from a few ingredients. The features that lean on AI live here.
$9.99 / month, per household — one seat unlocks Concierge for everyone at home. It's the home for everything that uses AI to keep your family on track — the daily brief, managing the app by just asking, proactive nudges, receipt scanning and meal ideas. Always optional; the core app is, and stays, free.
