Plans and Pricing

Kinu has three plans: Free, Kinu Plus, and Lifetime. All three include every feature. The difference is how many people you can keep, whether your Kinu syncs across your devices, and where you can use it.

The short version: Free is the complete Kinu experience for up to 10 people. Kinu Plus lifts that limit, adds encrypted sync, and unlocks Kinu on the web. Lifetime is Plus as a one-time purchase.

What every plan includes

No matter which plan you choose, you get the full Kinu experience:

• People: the heart of Kinu, the records you keep for the people who matter
• Moments: small observations you record about a person, in text or as a voice note
• Voice notes: capture a memory out loud, then play it back later
• Important dates: birthdays, anniversaries, and other dates that matter
• Reminders: a quiet prompt at your preferred time, shifted out of your quiet hours
• Rituals: gentle recurring intentions for a person, like a Sunday call, that come back to you when they are due
• Private notes: for your eyes only, never processed, analyzed, surfaced, or used by any feature
• Relational Compass: a calm visual map of who feels close in your inner circle
• Lenses: organize people into meaningful groups like Family, Friends, or Work
• Per-person Mode: set someone to active, low energy, or paused to control how much Kinu reaches out

The Free plan is not a trial. It is a fully featured version of Kinu that works beautifully for anyone with a close circle of up to 10 people. Nothing is locked behind a paywall, and nothing gets taken away later.

What Plus and Lifetime add

When you are ready to grow beyond 10 people, Plus and Lifetime unlock three things:

• Unlimited people: no cap on how many people you keep in your Kinu
• Encrypted sync: your Kinu follows you across devices, encrypted on your device before it is uploaded
• Web and desktop access: open your Kinu from any browser at kinu.care

Sync is opt-in and runs quietly in the background. Your data is encrypted on your device before it leaves, and it stays encrypted in transit and at rest. We do not access your relationship content as part of running Kinu. Photos and voice notes stay on your device and are never uploaded. For the full picture, see How sync works and Encryption explained.

You sign in, then Kinu works offline

Every plan starts with a Kinu account. You sign in with Apple, Google, or an email and password. Your account is what makes backup, restore, and purchase restore possible, and on Plus it is what lets your Kinu sync across devices.

Once you are signed in, Kinu works fully offline. Your writes go to your device first, so the app never waits on a connection. On the Free plan, your data stays on that one device. On Plus, your account also lets your Kinu follow you across the devices you choose.

Choosing between Plus and Lifetime

Kinu Plus is a subscription at $6.99 per month or $69.99 per year. You can cancel anytime, and your data stays safe on your device either way. The yearly plan saves you roughly 17 percent compared to paying monthly.

Lifetime is a one-time purchase of $149.99. You get everything in Plus with no recurring charges, no expiration date, and every future update included. It is for people who already know Kinu is a companion for the long haul.

What happens if I cancel Plus?

Nothing is lost, and nothing is held hostage. Your data stays on your device, and you keep everyone you have already added. You return to the Free experience: sync pauses, and web access pauses until you resubscribe. For the full picture, see What happens when I cancel.
