Your camera roll keeps the photos. Kinlo keeps the story. Kinlo is a private family memory journal. Save photos, videos and recordings with the story behind them: what she said, who was there, why everyone was laughing. Then share them with your family, including grandparents far away, who can look in from any web browser without installing an app. KEEP THE STORY, NOT JUST THE PICTURE Add photos and videos from your library, take them in Kinlo, or record audio. Write a few words about the moment before saving. Keep everyday moments as Memories and the big firsts as Milestones, from a baby's first laugh to the first day of school. GRANDPARENTS DON'T NEED THE APP From a grandparent's page in Kinlo, an admin creates a private web link just for them. It opens your family's memories in any web browser, with no app and no account. They can look through photos, play videos and recordings, read the stories, react with a heart or another emoji, and leave a comment. Their reactions and comments show up in Activity. By default, a link shows every Memory and Milestone except those marked "admins only". ON THIS DAY When you have memories from the same date in past years, On This Day brings them back on Home, with an optional notification. REMEMBER TOGETHER Invite adult family members to one shared timeline. Comment and react on each memory without starting another group chat. Mark a memory "admins only" when it isn't for everyone. HEAR THEIR VOICES AGAIN Record a laugh, a song or a bedtime story inside a memory, up to 10 minutes, and play it back with the story. Give each recording a name, so you know whose voice you're about to hear. FIND IT AGAIN Search the titles and stories you've saved, or browse every photo and video in Library. OPTIONAL HELP WITH THE WORDS Rather talk than type? Hold the mic, tell the story, and get a Memory or Milestone draft. Kinlo asks your permission before sending the recording to Google Gemini. AI can get details wrong, so you review and edit every draft before it's saved. That recording isn't saved with the memory; to keep a voice, record audio in the memory instead. You can always write everything yourself. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No public feed, no followers and no third-party ads. Kinlo does not sell your personal information. Photos, videos and recordings are encrypted on your phone before upload. The titles and stories you write are encrypted there too, before they are saved. Kinlo is not end-to-end encrypted: our servers can decrypt content, for example to show a memory in a grandparent's browser or to prepare an AI draft you asked for. Details: getkinlo.app/privacy FREE TO START Every family gets 500 MB of shared storage. If you reach the limit, everything you saved stays readable. Kinlo Plus is an optional subscription that gives your family 50 GB. Plans and prices are shown in the app. Kinlo is made for parents, guardians and other adult family members. Children can appear in memories but can't have accounts. Sign in with Apple or Google, so there's no Kinlo password to remember.
