The product
A household operating system, not another app to check.
KinHolo replaces the group chat, the fridge list, the shared calendar nobody updates and the spreadsheet only one person understands. Same members, same permissions, same privacy rules, everywhere in the app.
The problem
A household runs on information that lives in the wrong places.
It sits in one person's head, in a chat thread that scrolls away, on a list stuck to a fridge in a different building from the shop. So things get bought twice, chores get missed, and one person ends up as the household's single point of failure.
Five apps that do not talk
A list app, a calendar, a chore chart and a money tracker. Nothing connects, so nothing is ever fully up to date.
One shared password
Most family apps put the whole household behind a single login, which makes per-person roles, child safety and any real audit trail impossible.
Built for perfect conditions
A new phone and fast data are assumed. In a basement supermarket or on intermittent mobile data, the app is a spinner.
Paid for with attention
Free family apps are funded by ads and profiling, using data about children, health, money and location.
The value
What a household actually gets.
Four outcomes we hold ourselves to. If a feature does not serve one of them, it does not ship.
Less to hold in your head
The household remembers instead of one person remembering for everyone.
A fairer share of the work
The load becomes visible, so it can be discussed and moved without a fight.
Works where you are
Opens offline with cached data, syncs quietly later. No signal, no problem.
Safe for everyone in it
Individual logins, protective defaults for children, visibility set per record.
In use
A week in a household, four screens.
Tap through the previews. This is the real interface language: white surfaces, teal for structure, coral reserved for the one thing that needs a decision.
Notice what the app never does. It does not rank people, award points, or nag. A heads-up is a heads-up, and every suggestion waits for a human to confirm it.
Modules
What is inside the app.
Each module is specified in full before it is built, and each one inherits the household's members, roles and privacy settings rather than defining its own.
Login and accounts
Individual credentials for every member, including children. Email or phone with a 6-digit code, biometrics, and account recovery that does not rely on one address.
Specified and designedHousehold access
Roles and permissions. Who can see, add, edit and delete what, with children capped at their level and co-owners confirmed with a second factor.
Specified and designedShopping lists
Shared lists that update live, work offline, and handle out-of-stock items with suggested swaps instead of a dead end.
Specified and designedTasks and chores
Shared to-dos with recurrence, assignees, subtasks and the fair-load view. Gentle acknowledgement for children, no points or rewards.
Specified and designedBudgets and expenses
Household budgets by period and category, expenses logged offline, live remaining balances, and a private heads-up before a budget runs over.
Specified and designedShared calendar
One family calendar with per-event visibility, so a medical appointment can be private while the school run is not.
In specificationLocation sharing, Find my Family
Opt-in place sharing between household members, so a parent can see that a child arrived safely without a constant location feed.
In specificationMeal and family recipe
The week's meals plus the household's own recipe collection, with optional cost estimates that feed the groceries budget and send missing ingredients to the shopping list.
In specificationTimetable
School and activity timetables, so recurring commitments do not have to be re-entered as tasks every term.
In specificationNotifications
One calm daily digest rather than a stream of alerts, with quiet hours and per-channel preferences per member.
In specificationDocument organiser
Permits, insurance, prescriptions and school forms kept in one place, with expiry reminders and per-member visibility.
In specificationAudit trail
A readable record of who created, edited or deleted what, and of permission changes, so trust is verifiable rather than assumed.
In specificationSettings
Household details, default currency, mobile-money configuration, billing and per-member preferences in one place.
In specificationPrivacy dashboard
A plain-language view of what KinHolo holds, who in the household can see it, and how to export or delete it.
In specification
Specification status as of June 2026. See upcoming modules for the release order.
Privacy
Privacy is the product, not a policy page.
KinHolo holds some of the most sensitive information a family has: where the children are, what they eat, what the household earns and spends. That is exactly why the business model has no room for advertising.
No ads, no profiling, no data sales
Revenue comes from households choosing to subscribe, and from nothing else.
Individual identity for every member
There is no shared household password anywhere in the product, so every action is attributable and every child is protected by design.
Visibility set per record
Whole household, chosen members, or you only. Set on the thing itself, not buried in a settings screen.
Built to the stricter standard
GDPR, including children's protections, applied across every market we operate in rather than only where it is required.

Early access opens region by region. Free to start, with the household features that matter most in the free tier.
