## What is Kinnavo?

The people you call every day are already in your Recents — the Phone app has them covered. A plumber, a doctor, someone you met at a conference: they never appear there. You need them rarely, and always without warning.

That's who Kinnavo is for. Nothing in your address book has to change.

GATHER THE PEOPLE BEHIND ONE THING:
◆ Open a contact from a search — the name is kept in your history
◆ Go through the history when you have a minute: swipe away what you don't need, give the rest a #mark
◆ People who belong to a list carry a thin ring around their avatar — you can see at a glance who has been sorted
◆ Write the mark into the Apple contact card: the name, the organisation, the job title — any of nine fields. Apple carries it to your other devices by itself
◆ #gardenrenovation, #neighbours, #conference — not areas of life, but whatever you are in the middle of right now
◆ Hashtag lists build themselves; each one can take its own colour out of ten
◆ Everyone involved in one thing, in one place. Long before the day you urgently need them

WRITE DOWN WHAT YOU CANNOT AFFORD TO FORGET:
◆ One sticky note per person, five colours, a separate place for links to documents
◆ What you agreed, who owes what, the gate code — there before the call and after it
◆ Sticky notes sync across your devices
◆ One screen with every sticky note: tap the name in the corner to jump to the person

MAKE IT YOURS (on this device):
◆ Gems — mark the people who matter, and they come first in search
◆ Quick actions — choose how you reach each person: call, mail, messenger
◆ Languages — remember which language you speak with whom

YOUR OWN CARD:
◆ Choose which fields to show
◆ Show it on screen in large type when someone just needs to read it
◆ Or hand it over — as an image, a QR code or a vCard file

PROFESSIONAL MODE — a one-time purchase, not a subscription

A Work section appears beside the personal one. Nothing in the personal one goes away.

◆ Smart lists — they fill themselves from six criteria: #mark, job title, department, company, city, country
◆ Pinned list — always one tap away
◆ Send a list's contacts — everyone at once
◆ Share the list itself as a file — messenger, mail or AirDrop. Your colleague opens it, and the list fills with their own address book: the search travels, the people do not
◆ Apple Shortcuts — run any Shortcut right on the list you have open

One person on the team sets it up, and it works for everyone. Clients, suppliers, the London office, one department of a partner company: the structure of the company you work with, readable at once. Whichever service syncs your address book.

YOUR ADDRESS BOOK STAYS UNTOUCHED:
◆ Kinnavo never writes to your contacts, never copies them, never sends them to a server
◆ No ads, no tracking, no analytics
◆ Sticky notes sync through your own iCloud, which we cannot access

The context you build in Kinnavo stays with you for good: the mark lives in your address book, not with us. Delete the app — the mark remains.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 3.0.3 — 2026-08-14

We keep caring for Kinnavo and making it better. Here's what's new:

• All your sticky notes now live in one place — with search and sorting by latest, by colour or by contact name.
• Leave a sticky note straight from a list, without opening the card.
• Your lists turn up in the iPhone's own search — type the name and you're inside.
• People in your Gems come first in lists, and a small mark shows beside the name.

Plus many small improvements across the app.

### 3.0.2 — 2026-08-07

We keep caring for Kinnavo and making it better. Here's what's new:

• Lists look smarter — tiles and plates wear a soft gradient of their colour.
• Empty screens speak more clearly: what will appear here, and where it comes from.
• Creating a smart list now explains how a # mark searches — and if the # lands in the wrong field, a hint appears.
• An emoji in a mark no longer confuses your lists: the list gathers by the word, the emoji stays a decoration.
• Smart-list settings travel between devices more carefully: a device that sat offline no longer overwrites what's fresh.
• If a sticky note is waiting for a contact, the card says so itself. And attaching a note to a different person asks first, by name.
• A list file received in Messages now opens with a tap — you can view it right there.
• Everything feels smoother.

### 3.0.1 — 2026-08-03

We keep caring for Kinnavo and making it better. Here's what's new:

• You can now see how many contacts you have — the number sits right next to Search.
• A #mark works in the company field too: it gathers a group, and it no longer gets in the way of searching by company name.
• Don't need a line in your search history? Swipe it away.
• Suggestions are cleaner when you set up a smart list.
• A work list can now be shared with a colleague — as a single file, via messenger or email.
• Notes about people can now have different colours — in your lists you see at a glance whose is whose.
• A note holds more, and it has a separate place for links to documents.

### 3.0 — 2026-08-01

We keep caring for Kinnavo and making it better. Here's what's new:

• Lists got smart: tell a list who to gather — say, everyone from one company, or everyone marked #friend — and it fills itself and keeps itself up to date.
• Notes about people are now kept safe: they won't be lost even if you change your phone or reinstall the app.
• All your notes live on one screen — easy to flick through and remember everyone.
• See your contacts in groups by your own marks.
• Your lists now look the same on all your devices.
• The app got simpler, tidier and faster.

### 2.0.5 — 2026-07-23

Kinnavo 2.0.5 — we keep taking care of the app so it quietly works for you.

Your business card got richer: you can now add a website and pick several addresses at once.
Sync across all your devices is even smoother and more dependable: a change on one device appears on the others within seconds.
Did you know? In Professional Mode you can search contacts by tag — the fastest way to find exactly the group of people you need.

Thank you for using Kinnavo. Your contacts stay in Apple Contacts. No ads. No tracking.
