## What is KinTerm?

At Lunar New Year, weddings, family banquets — the most awkward moment is "what should I call this uncle's grand-aunt?"

KinTerm tells you the correct kinship term in one second. Starting from yourself, tap through the relationships — father, mother, sister, cousin... — and the app instantly shows how to address that person. It covers up to five generations of family relations, with the complete Chinese kinship vocabulary used in Taiwan, plus the legal kinship degree (Taiwan Civil Code Article 968). Three small tools come with it: family tree, festival greeting templates, and red envelope records.

■ Core features (free forever)

· Kinship calculator
   Tap through relationships starting from yourself: Father → Mother → Sister → Son...
   Instantly shows the correct kinship term (e.g. Father's mother = Grandmother / 奶奶).
   Up to five generations, full Taiwanese kinship terminology built in.
   Reverse lookup: "who is my granduncle's granddaughter?" works too.
   Includes legal kinship degree based on Taiwan Civil Code Article 968 — useful for inheritance, marriage taboo, and legal contexts.

· Family tree (up to 5 members)
   Add family members and the app auto-draws the relationship graph.
   Tap any member to see their kinship term, distance, and generation relative to you.
   Supports photos, birth year, and deceased status.

· Festival greeting templates (10 per category)
   Templates for Lunar New Year, Mid-Autumn, Dragon Boat, Mother's Day, Father's Day, and more.
   Copy with one tap and send to elders, clients, or group chats.

· Red envelope records (up to 5 entries)
   Track who you gave money to, how much, on what occasion, in which year.
   Auto-cumulative, so when the next festival comes you can check what you gave last time and avoid the never-ending escalation.

■ Pro unlock (NT$60 one-time purchase, lifetime)

· Unlimited family tree members
   Build out three, four, or five-generation family trees in full.
· Regional terminology switching
   Switch between 7 regional kinship vocabularies: Taiwan, Mainland China, Hong Kong, Hokkien (Min-nan), Hakka, Singapore, and Malaysia.
· TTS pronunciation
   Not sure how to pronounce a term? Tap to hear it in Taiwan Mandarin, HK Cantonese, or Mainland Mandarin (voice options depend on system-installed voices).
· Full festival templates
   Unlimited templates per category, in four styles: letter, card, SMS, and group chat.
· Unlimited red envelope records
   Keep all your years of red envelope history, view ten-year trends.
· Surname signature
   Greeting templates auto-include your surname (e.g. "Chen Family", "Respectfully from the Lin Family").

■ Why KinTerm?

· 100% on-device
   Family member names, red envelope amounts, all your data stay only on your phone.
   No server. Nothing uploaded. Nothing synced to any cloud (unless you yourself enable Pro's optional cloud backup).

· Zero ads, zero tracking
   No ads anywhere — clean interface from top to bottom.
   We do not analyze what you tap or track what features you use.

· No unnecessary permissions
   No camera, no photo library, no location, no contacts, no microphone, no network.
   All calculations run locally on your phone.

· Works offline
   Use it in airplane mode, on a high-speed train heading home — kinship calculation never needs the internet.

■ When to use

· Lunar New Year → check elder kinship terms
· At a wedding → log red envelopes received today, who attended and how much
· Family group chat for Mid-Autumn → grab a greeting template, one tap copy
· Bringing a partner to meet your family → build the family tree first to explain who's who
· Inheritance discussion → calculate legal kinship degree to confirm Civil Code succession order

■ Privacy promise

100% on-device. No account, no email collected, no analytics, no tracking. Delete the app and all data is gone. Full details: see "Settings → Privacy Policy".

Supported languages: Traditional Chinese, English, Japanese.
