How it works

How Kinnomy works.

Set up your household in a few minutes, bring in the people you live with, and let everyday sentences turn into a plan everyone can see.

Getting going

Five steps, and the first one takes a minute.

  1. Create your household

    Give it a name, like “The Rivera home”. You start with 30 days of Household+ free, and no card is needed.

  2. Bring in the people

    Invite adults and teens by email link or with a 6-character join code. Add young kids and grandparents as profiles without a login. Pick a role and a color for each.

  3. Tell the house

    Type a plan the way you would say it. Review the event, the tasks, the list, the expected costs and the thread it drafts, then press Save.

  4. Let the layers connect

    The plan lands on the calendar, tasks go to the right people, items join the shopping list and costs show up in Money. Everyone sees the same thing.

  5. Ask the house

    Ask what is going on this week for the brief, or ask a plain question like “who is our plumber” and get the answer from your records.

The idea

Everything connects to everything.

A plan is not five messages in five apps. It is one thing, with its event, tasks, list items, costs and conversation attached.

One sentence, five places. Every piece links back to the plan it came from.

Home

Home is the command center.

Open the app and Home shows the Right now card: who is where (if they chose to share), what is next today and what is still open. It is the first screen, and for most days it is the only one you need.

  • What is next on the calendar today
  • What is still open
  • Who is where, only for people who turned location on

An example week

What the automations do while you get on with life.

A made-up week in a made-up home, using only things the app really does.

  1. Monday

    The electric bill is paid

    Someone taps Mark paid. The payment is recorded and next month’s bill is already on the calendar.

  2. Tuesday

    The recycling moves on

    Nora takes out the recycling and marks it done. The chore passes to Theo for next week, and Nora gets her points.

  3. Wednesday

    A clash gets caught

    The dentist and the car service are both booked for 3 PM, and both need the car. The calendar flags it before anyone is stuck.

  4. Thursday

    A warranty reminder

    The fridge warranty ends in 30 days. A reminder shows up while there is still time to use it.

  5. Friday

    The list writes itself

    Next week’s meal plan sends its ingredients to the shopping list, grouped by aisle.

  6. Saturday

    One sentence, one plan

    “We’re going to the beach Saturday” becomes the event, a task each, the list and a thread.

  7. Sunday

    The weekly digest

    Each member gets their email digest, so nobody starts Monday cold.

The nine automations

Every one of them can be switched off.

  1. On Free

    Plans spin out the work

    A plan creates its tasks, list items, an expected cost and a thread.

  2. On Free

    Paid bills schedule the next one

    Mark a repeating bill paid and the next one is already on the calendar.

  3. Unusual bills get flagged

    A bill more than 20% above its 3-month average is marked for a closer look.

  4. On Free

    Chores pass along

    Finish a chore and it moves to the next person in the rotation.

  5. Maintenance moves forward

    Logging a job sets the next due date and can record what it cost.

  6. Expiry reminders

    Documents and warranties remind you 30 days before they run out.

  7. Meals fill the list

    The week’s meal plan sends its ingredients to the shopping list.

  8. An email digest

    A daily or weekly summary to each member. Free includes the weekly one.

  9. On Free

    Birthday reminders

    Every birthday reminds the household 7 days before.

Each automation can be switched off. Free includes automations 1, 2, 4 and 9. Household and Household+ include all nine.

Where it works

In the browser, on every device.

Kinnomy runs in any modern browser on phones and desktops. Add it to your home screen and it opens like an app. It comes in light and dark themes.

There is no native iPhone or Android app yet. That is on the roadmap.

Give your home an operating system.

Start with 30 days of Household+ free. No card needed. Nothing is deleted when the trial ends.
