Friendship deserves intention, and Kinship makes it easier to care, consistently.
This small but mighty app has made staying connected with friends feel not only doable but meaningful. With full access available for free, you can import contacts, track your conversation history, and set customizable fields for each person—everything from birthdays and phone numbers to favorite foods, allergies, and even what you have in common.
One of my favorite features is the ability to add personal notes that help me remember why someone is special to me or what we last talked about. It’s like a memory boost for your social life.
The homepage also offers curated prompts and ideas for thoughtful ways to connect—perfect for when you want to nurture a friendship but aren’t sure how. Whether you’re managing long-distance friendships or just trying to be more intentional, this app is a quiet little game-changer.

Add Unlimited Subscription Options
Please consider adding a unlimited license option in 1 single payment instead of licensing! Many would buy it in heartbeat.
Useful to use
Useful app to use and can appear to work quite effectively.
Simple, Clean, Does the Job
This is a great app - why? It’s not $100 a year, it’s simple, no dumb business card scanning, no limits, no crazy email connections etc.
So far it’s great.

Customer service
I had an issue with my contact photos not matching up with the correct names. I emailed customer service and they responded immediately. They kept me updated while they worked on the issue. I was very impressed!
Superb app
Ive been using this for a year, its super helpful to give a nudge on the people I need to have my checkpoints. I’m even happier now that I can refer to my friends who don’t use iphones. Keep up the amazing work and don’t ruin it with advertisements please!!!
Replaced all my messy notepads!
My profession relies heavily in keeping notes and reaching out to dozens of people every week! I could finally replace my messy sticky notes, phone notes, notebook scribbles, contacts with a huge plus: kinship tells me when to get in touch! Love!
Question
How do I add a birthday directly in the app and have it show up as a special occasion every year?
Thanks
Love the app

Response from developer
Hello Lois001, Any date-type detail you add will automatically appear as a special occasion on your home screen unless you uncheck the default "notify me when it's coming up". This is also true for any dates under your imported contacts, whether birthdays, anniversaries, or any custom date in your iOS contacts. Please let us know if you are facing any problems with that feature. All the best, The Kinship Team
Love it, but...recurring dates??
Could definitely use the ability to have recurring events. When my contacts were imported, birthdays show up with the year of their birth, so those dates don’t show up as upcoming events. I have to go into each contract and change the year to 2021, and expect I’ll have to do that each year? :/
So great to manage both family/friends events AND clients all together.

Hi DayStudies, thanks for your review and sorry for the late reply. About the birthdays for your imported contacts, Kinship automatically considers recurring dates if you use the "Birthday input field" in your native iOS Contacts app, so there is no need to change the year; they will show up as a card in your "Special Occasions" section on the home screen. If you come across any problems, or would simply like to chat about relationship building, feel free to reach out to us at "support@kinshipsystems.com". Sincerely, The Kinship Team.
10x better than linkedin and traditional CRMs
LinkedIn is great for basic professional connection, but underwhelming to say the least for relationship management. Typical CRMs are super clunky and not useable in ad hoc or even planned life interactions and meetups with people. Kinship really hits the nail on the head in giving me an easy way to update, view, and engage my contacts.

Ease for managing my contacts
Keeping up with contacts can be hard and I love that this app has a slick design and intuitive way to feed in information via text messaging! It is so easy to use and I know will improve my memory to reach out on those special moments.
Finally!!!
An intuitive contact app that interacts with you contacts and calendar in a way that is not intrusive and is easily navigable. I use it constantly to keep all the key facts about friends and clients updated. Absolutely love the text to kinship feature and the easy to create kinship groups.
A wonderful app that humanizes
Thinking about others and reminding them, in a meaningful way, that we are are thinking about them is what it’s all about. Kinship fills the gap between “contacts” and calendar reminders. Well done.
All in one
Kin is easy to set up and I no longer have to bounce between apps for info. It’s all here!

Absolutely essential app for thoughtful network builders and relationship-driven professionals!
Wonderfully designed and intuitive, this app makes it easy to keep track of important facts and tidbits about the people in your network I’m building a close relationship with. No more note taking in disparate systems that I can’t never locate when I need it: Kinship is my only stop for all my contact/relationship management needs!
