What's New in Kynd

Light mode. Kynd follows your phone's appearance, or you choose in Settings. Installs that were already dark stay dark until you say otherwise. Haptics you can feel time by. Each energy has its own tap. The last three seconds of a countdown tick. Optional gentle pulses every 5, 10, or 15 minutes of Pomo and Flow, for when your eyes are on the work and not the clock. Off, Gentle, or Full; Calm mode keeps it gentle. Real Pomodoro breaks. Take a break, add five more minutes, or start the next one, with a long break after every fourth. Nothing counts during a break, and nothing is forced. Rebuild from now. When the list is bigger than the time left before your day ends, Today offers to keep what fits and move the rest to tomorrow. One tap, nothing lost. Steps that add up. Break it down now keeps the steps attached: the task shows "2 of 5", and finishing the last step asks whether the whole thing counts as done. Brain dump (Premium). Talk for as long as you need, no one-minute cap. Kynd sorts it into separate tasks, each with a smallest first move, for you to keep or drop. Bigger brain, optional (Premium, iOS 27). Send hard ones to Apple's Private Cloud Compute instead of your iPhone. Off by default, free, and every result says which one made it. Banners that do something. Mark it done and 5 more minutes on the timer banner. Save my spot on the 90-minute one. An optional morning check-in with Green, Yellow, and Red right on the banner, and an optional evening reminder that opens the shutdown flow. Pick for me. Can't choose? One tap picks a small win at random. Lock Screen and Siri. Done and +5 min on the Live Activity, a StandBy layout, and "Start focus in Kynd" and "Mark my step done in Kynd" for Siri. Plus: a kinder end-of-day note in the shutdown flow, energy by hour of day in Your patterns, a heads-up before a routine step ends, better VoiceOver on the timer, energy shapes for Differentiate Without Color, and larger type on the countdown.

FAQ
What is Kynd's core philosophy for ADHD brains?
Kynd is built around the idea that the smallest physical next step is everything. It avoids common productivity app pitfalls like assuming full energy after meetings or punishing missed days, instead adapting to the user's current energy level and focusing on immediate, actionable tasks.
How does Kynd help capture thoughts without losing them?
You can tap 'Capture' and use voice or text to record your thought. Kynd then proposes a specific, two-minute physical first move you can do. You can edit this suggestion, add it to your daily tasks, or send it to your inbox for later.
What are the premium features of Kynd?
Kynd Premium offers on-device AI starter steps for tasks, unlimited captures, five ambient soundscapes, drop-in audio coworking rooms, 10 CBT-for-ADHD micro-modules, Apple Health integration for energy suggestions, calendar context, Apple Watch companion, and iCloud sync. Family Sharing for up to 5 people is also included.
How does Kynd handle focus and time management?
Kynd offers three focus modes: Sprint (2 minutes), Pomo (25 minutes), or Flow (open-ended). It uses a visual time-disk to make time less abstract and provides optional ambient soundscapes. After 90 minutes, it offers a gentle nudge to save your progress, without guilt.
Does Kynd have a streak system?
No, Kynd does not have streaks. Missed days do not reset anything. The focus is on starting again, emphasizing that the next start is what matters, which is beneficial for users who may struggle with consistency.
What is the pricing for Kynd Premium?
Kynd Premium is available as a subscription. It costs $1.99 per month or $14.99 per year. The annual plan includes a 3-month free introductory offer.
How is user data handled by Kynd?
Kynd is local-first, meaning your tasks primarily live on your device. The app states it does not run analytics, sell or share data, and never sees your captures, prioritizing user privacy.
What platforms is Kynd available on?
Kynd is available on iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch. It also supports iCloud sync for seamless data across your Apple devices.
