KinDial

KinDial brings your household’s last known places and statuses together on a beautiful, personal dial. A little closer, wherever we are. Whether your household is family, partners, friends or people living together, KinDial offers a simple way to stay informed while keeping precise location details on each person’s device. PLACES WITH MEANING TO YOU The household owner manages membership, place names and icons, such as Home, Work or School. Each person privately configures the location and arrival area for those places on their own device. The same name can mean different locations for different members. Work can mean your workplace on your phone and your partner’s workplace on theirs. Your household sees the named place or status and its confirmation time, without receiving GPS coordinates, saved boundaries or a moving position on a map. Members may recognize what a place name means from what they already know. UPDATES AT A GLANCE Confirm your status manually or enable automatic updates for configured places. Automatic updates depend on location permissions and when iOS allows your device to check its location. The dial also includes In transit and Unknown. In transit can indicate movement outside configured places and may remain during short stops. Unknown means no place is confirmed. Confirmation times show how recent each update is. Older information is labeled Last known, so an earlier update is not presented as proof that someone is still there. MAKE THE DIAL YOUR OWN Choose from eight theme families with Elegant and Colorful finishes, plus playful Rainbow Play and Space Party styles. Personal photos and distinct hands help you recognize each member. Arrange places and statuses in any order around your dial. Your arrangement stays on your device and does not change anyone else’s dial. The household owner continues to manage shared names and icons. Use KinDial on your iPhone or keep the household dial in view on an iPad. You can also explore a local demo before signing in. PRIVACY BY DESIGN Location readings used to recognize household places are processed on your device. Household updates share the named-place status and its confirmation time, without sending GPS coordinates or saved boundaries. Saved place coordinates and boundaries are encrypted on your device, excluded from backups, and never synced to iCloud or KinDial’s household server. Place search uses Apple Maps and sends your search text and, when available, the map area to Apple. Optional weather on iPad sends an approximate location to Apple. These services are separate from household status sharing.
