Родня

Родня — приватное пространство для одной семьи. Близость не должна страдать на расстоянии. Семейные истории, фото и слова слишком ценные, чтобы теряться в разных чатах и сервисах. Родня собирает семейное общение, память и важные события в одном закрытом месте. Это семейная социальная сеть, где только ваши родные. Без рекламы, без чужих людей и без публичной ленты. Семейная лента Делитесь фото и видео, отмечайте места, людей и события, добавляйте подписи и реакции. Вы видите только публикации своей семьи. Чаты и звонки Личные и групповые беседы, аудио- и видеозвонки, сообщения с медиа, файлами, реакциями и семейными списками. Семейное древо Собирайте генеалогию семьи, открывайте профили родственников, хронику, даты, связи и семейные истории. Хроника и события Дни рождения, годовщины, поездки, семейные встречи и другие события можно хранить вместе с фото, видео, постами, PDF-альбомами и слайд-шоу. Профили, альбомы и память В профиле человека можно хранить фотоальбом, биографию, хронику, важные даты и семейные заметки. Для детей доступен дневник взросления, для питомцев — отдельный профиль и паспорт прививок. Семейная карта Сохранённые места, карта публикаций и опциональный семейный шаринг геопозиции помогают понимать, где семья и где происходили важные события. Приватность Доступ в приложение — только по приглашению. Данные не используются для рекламы, трекинга или передачи третьим лицам. Поддержка: artem@paouk.ru
HEON

HEON (Khion) means "kin" in Ossetian. It is an app for families and clans: to chat, call, share news and keep the memory of your family together. We built it for relatives of every age — from grandchildren to grandparents. Big buttons, plain words and a separate text-size setting. The app honestly shows what is going on: whether a message was sent, whether the call went through, whether you are online. MESSAGING • Private and group chats; every family name has its own family chat. • Photos and videos (including albums), files, voice messages, emoji and reactions. • Reply, forward, edit and delete messages, pinned messages. • "Delivered" and "read" ticks, "typing…", "last seen". • A message written offline is sent automatically as soon as you are back online. • Search across all chats. CALLS • Voice and video calls, including group calls — bring the whole family into one conversation. • Incoming calls ring even on a locked phone, like regular calls. • Speakerphone, speaker and headphone choice, call history. STORIES AND FEED • Stories: short videos and photos from your loved ones, with likes and comments. • A shared feed for the whole family, with reactions and comments. FAMILY NAME AND FAMILY TREE • Find your family name or create a new one; joining is approved by the family moderator. • Living tree: fill in "My family" — parents, spouse, children, brothers and sisters — and watch the branches grow into one tree. • A formal family tree kept by moderators, a family coat of arms, subgroups. FAMILY LIFE • Events with a calendar — weddings, gatherings, memorial days — with "Going / Maybe / Can't go". • Announcements and polls for the whole family. • Anyone can suggest an event, announcement or poll — moderators publish it. PEOPLE YOU KNOW • With your permission, HEON checks the numbers in your contacts and shows who is already here. You can skip it. COMFORTABLE AND SAFE • Themes, light and dark, five text sizes. • You decide what others see about you. • Report a message, story, post, comment or person and block unwanted users in two taps; reports are reviewed within 24 hours. • Delete your account right in the app. • No ads, no tracking. The app is free. You need a HEON account to sign in — register right in the app with your phone number. The app interface is in Russian. Support: https://art-note.ru/legal/support
