Features
Six layers, 21 modules and fourteen automations, with the Kinnomy Brain on top and settings that make it yours. Here is all of it, including what it does not do.
The six layers
People, Time, Money, Work, Memory and Context. Each layer has its own page with the details.
Who is in the household?
What is happening?
What does it cost?
What needs to happen?
What does the household know?
What is happening right now?
Above all six sits the Kinnomy Brain. Ask anything, from what is due this week to whether you can afford a trip, or tell the house a plan in one sentence. How the Brain works
Beside them: Talk for household messaging and polls, and the Emergency card, free on every plan.
The 21 modules
The same list, in the same order, as the app’s own navigation.
The command center: the Right now card, what is next today, countdowns and what is still open.
Month, week and agenda views, colored by person, with conflicts flagged, countdowns, carpools and outside calendars.
Doctor, dentist, vet, mechanic or school, with a contact, notes and a prep checklist.
Medicines with a tap for each dose, refills, vaccines and growth charts. Adults only by default.
Chores that pass along, rewards, allowance with spend, save and give jars, checklists and routines.
Several lists, grouped by aisle automatically, with who added what.
A weekly planner and recipes, imported from a link if you like. One tap sends the ingredients to the list.
The fridge, freezer and cupboards, with best-before dates. Low stock goes on the list.
Bills, expenses, splits, budgets, subscriptions, income, goals and a cash flow forecast.
Schedules by date or by mileage, with a log of every time a job was done.
Appliances, vehicles and systems with model, serial and warranty end, and an inventory report by room.
A private vault for PDFs and photos, with expiry reminders.
Shared photos and albums, with captions, reactions and On this day memories.
Your doctor, plumber, school and vet, one tap to call or email.
Quick notes. Pinned notes show on the Home board.
The household wiki: the wifi, trash day, bedtimes. Guest passes for sitters.
A profile for each pet, care that takes turns, vet visits and vaccines.
Wishlists with quiet claims, and gift ideas hidden from the person they are for.
Household threads and polls: General, one for every plan, and comments on any item.
Home, work and school with a radius. Location is opt-in and off by default.
The one page everyone needs in a bad moment, pets included. Free on every plan, always.
Plus three system areas that are not counted as modules: the Brain (Kinnomy Brain, Tell the house and memory search), People (members and household settings) and Settings (personal preferences and customization).
Kinnomy Brain
The Brain knows every record you are allowed to see and how they connect. Ask what is due this week, where the money went, whether you can afford a trip or if the chores are fair, and get an answer with its steps, charts and the records it used.
Photos
Albums everyone in the home adds to, with captions, reactions and On this day memories. Private, and easy to share with Grandma when you want to.
Drawn illustrations of a made-up household, from the same sample data as the app's demo. No real photos and no real people.
Turn on JavaScript to browse the sample albums.
About location: the resized copies Kinnomy makes have location data removed. Originals kept with Keep original photos, videos, and HEIC photos the server cannot convert are stored exactly as uploaded, including any location the phone saved.
Everything else a household needs
For the parts of home life that are easy to forget, until someone asks.
Medicines with a tap for each dose, refills, vaccines and growth charts. Adults only by default.
What is in the fridge, freezer and cupboards. Low stock goes on the list by itself.
The household wiki, and guest passes that show a sitter only what you choose.
A profile for each pet, care that takes turns, vet visits and vaccines.
Wishlists with quiet claims, and gift ideas hidden from the person they are for.
Points kids trade for rewards, and an allowance paid into spend, save and give jars.
Family screens
A private link turns a spare tablet or a TV into a calm family board. Try the preview: it is built from the sample household, right here in your browser.
A preview, built in your browser from the made-up sample household. A real family screen runs from a private link on your tablet or TV.
Only things shared with the whole household appear. Family screens are on Household and Household+, up to 3 per household, and each runs from a private link you can turn off at any time.
Turn on JavaScript to see the live preview.
Phone notifications
Kinnomy can send notifications to your phone or computer for the things that need you: reminders, appointments, bills due tomorrow, today’s chores, medicine doses, your turn to drive, @mentions and requests. Each kind has its own switch.
Notifications travel through the push service your browser uses (Apple, Google, Mozilla or Microsoft), and those services only see encrypted content.
On iPhone and iPad, add Kinnomy to the Home Screen first (iOS 16.4 or newer). Notifications can be late or missed, so do not rely on them alone for anything critical.
Offline mode
Kinnomy keeps a copy of your household on the device, so the calendar, the lists and the chores still open without a connection. Changes you make offline wait on the device and are sent in order when the connection comes back.
The saved copy lives in that browser on that device. Turn offline mode off on a shared computer. Signing out deletes it.
For busy households
Lessons and sports with a coach, fees and gear, and a driver rotation with swaps.
The school, league or work calendar next to yours, refreshed every few hours. Household plans.
Paid on schedule into spend, save and give jars, with chores that pay and spend requests.
A few questions, then a ready home maintenance schedule, starter chores and checklists.
Paste a link from a recipe site and check the ingredients and steps before you save.
A home inventory report by room for insurance, and car jobs due by mileage. Household plans.
Make it yours
Each person picks light or dark, one of 11 themes, an accent color, a heading font and a reading font, text from 85% to 150%, and how roomy the screen feels. On every plan.
Automations
A plan creates its tasks, list items, an expected cost and a thread.
Mark a repeating bill paid and the next one is already on the calendar.
A bill more than 20% above its 3-month average is marked for a closer look.
Finish a chore and it moves to the next person in the rotation.
Logging a job sets the next due date and can record what it cost.
Documents and warranties remind you 30 days before they run out.
The week’s meal plan sends its ingredients to the shopping list.
A daily or weekly summary to each member. Free includes the weekly one.
Every birthday reminds the household 7 days before.
When something in the pantry runs low, it goes on the shopping list by itself.
Finish a feeding, a walk or litter duty and it moves to the next person.
Photos taken on this day in past years show up on Home.
Each child’s allowance is paid on schedule, split into spend, save and give.
Finish a chore that pays and the money goes into your wallet.
Each automation can be switched off. Free includes automations 1, 2, 4, 9, 11, 12, 13 and 14. Household and Household+ include all fourteen.
Platform
Any modern browser. Add it to your home screen and it opens like an app.
Light and dark, 11 themes, accents, fonts and text size.
Everything as JSON and CSV, whenever you want it.
Delete the household and its data goes with it.
Honest limits
Some of these are on the roadmap. We would rather you know now than find out later.
Bills and expenses are typed in, imported from a CSV, or read from a photo on Household+. Nothing connects to your bank.
Your data lives in our database. Documents sit in a private folder, served only to members of your household after a check on every download.
It installs from the browser. Native iPhone and Android apps are planned.
There is no background tracking. A shared location updates while the app is open, or when someone taps Share now.
It is for sharing family moments. Photos are resized to save space unless the owner turns on Keep original photos, and videos are short clips only.
Kinnomy keeps track of bills, splits and allowances. You pay the way you already do, then record it.
Battery savers, do not disturb or no connection can hold them back. Do not rely on them alone for anything critical.
Health keeps track of medicines, vaccines and growth. It is not medical advice or a medical record system.
