Kinfold keeps your family's most important documents safe โ€” and gets you out the door when it's time to travel. EVERYTHING IMPORTANT, IN ONE PLACE Scan a passport, ID, driver's licence, visa or residence permit and Kinfold reads it for you โ€” on-device โ€” filling in the details, the photo and the expiry date. No typing, no uploading. Documents are organised by family member, so you can find anyone's papers in seconds. NEVER MISS A RENEWAL Kinfold tracks every expiry date and reminds you before a passport or visa lapses โ€” so a renewal never sneaks up on you the week before a trip. PACKED AND READY TO TRAVEL Plan a trip and Kinfold builds a packing list that adapts to where you're going and who's coming โ€” beach, city, ski, with kids or without. Add your stays and flights, see them on a map, and check at a glance whether everyone's documents are valid for the dates. Kinfold can even spot trips in your calendar and offer to set them up, and read a booking screenshot to fill in a stay or flight. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your family's documents never leave your devices unencrypted. Everything is stored on-device and synced privately through your own iCloud, end-to-end encrypted. There's no account to create and no server that can see your data โ€” because the most personal things your family owns shouldn't live on someone else's computer. SHARE WITH THE FAMILY YOU CHOOSE Send your partner or family a private invite link and they'll see the documents you've shared โ€” read-only โ€” right inside Kinfold on their own device. You decide what to share and with whom, and there's still no account to create. BUILT FOR FAMILIES ON THE MOVE โ€ข On-device scanning with automatic field, photo and expiry capture โ€ข Passports, IDs, licences, visas, residence permits and more โ€ข Renewal reminders before anything expires โ€ข Smart, adaptive packing lists for every kind of trip โ€ข Stays, flights, maps and entry/visa checks โ€ข Birthdays and a shared family schedule โ€ข Share a read-only copy of your vault with family via a private link โ€ข Face ID lock, end-to-end encrypted iCloud sync, no accounts Kinfold โ€” your family, kept safe and travel-ready.
