How Kinnect works

Set up. Invite your people. Start saving.

Most families do not plan to lose their stories. It just happens, slowly, until one day the voice is gone and the details are blurry. Kinnect is how you stop that from happening. Here is how it works.

From signup to your first shared story in minutes

Step 1. Create your account.

Sign up free. No credit card required. You start with full access for 14 days.

Step 2. Create a Kin Group.

Name it. Choose who belongs in it. Invite them directly. There are no public links and no way to find your group from outside. Only the people you name can join.

Step 3. Your first Echo arrives.

Within 24 hours your group gets its first daily question. Everyone answers in their own time, in their own words, however they feel comfortable. Text, voice, or short video.

Step 4. Responses build into a shared archive.

Every answer, photo, voice note, and update is stored chronologically. Nothing gets buried by an algorithm. You can scroll back months or years and find exactly what you are looking for.

Step 5. You never miss a birthday again.

Kinnect notifies you five days before a birthday. You write your message when you have time. It arrives on the day.

Step 6. Nudge keeps things going.

Nudge sends you a personal reminder to check in on a specific relationship when the timing feels right. Not every day. Just when it matters.

Frequently asked questions

Q: How long does it take to set up?

A: Most people create their first Kin Group and send their first invitation within five minutes of signing up.

Q: What formats can I share in?

A: Text, voice notes, photos, and short video. You choose the format that feels right for each moment.

Q: Can my group see everything I post?

A: Yes, within your group. Nothing is visible outside of it. You can also keep individual Echo responses private to yourself.

Q: What if my family is not tech-savvy?

A: Kinnect runs in any web browser. There is no app to download to get started. If someone in your group can check their email, they can use Kinnect.

Q: Is Kinnect free to use?

A: You can get started for free. Paid options unlock more group features. All plans are private and ad-free.

Q: How is Kinnect different from a shared Google Drive or iCloud?

A: Storage tools save files. Kinnect creates a shared living record with daily prompts, check-ins, and a chronological timeline. It is built for relationship and memory, not file management.
