Lucy asked for “strawbabies” at breakfast. By the next morning, we were all asking for them.

A fictional memoryThe “we should
do this again” days.
Finn had the map. Ivy had a leaf for a compass. The wrong turn became an expedition.
A fictional memoryTheir little personalities.
Oliver watched us both, completely serious. Then Lucy sneezed. His best laugh was for his sister.
Less scrolling past. More looking back.
Your camera roll
has the pictures.
Here’s the story.
A handful of photos. A few words about the day. Little by little, a timeline that feels like your life. A place to revisit, without another folder to sort.

Pick a moment.
A day out, a first, or a little thing from today.

Keep the story.
Say it out loud or write a few words.

Make it yours.
Keep it in your family timeline. Come back when you want.
Start with one moment. Not your entire camera roll.
Good morning,Claire

Grandparents don't need the app.
Create a private link for each grandparent from their page in Kinlo. It opens your family's memories right in their web browser, with nothing to install and no account to make. They can watch the videos, hear the recordings, read the stories, and leave a heart or a comment that your family sees in Kinlo.
Owners and admins create each link. By default, a link shows every Memory and Milestone except those marked "admins only". It works only in the first browser that opens it, and an unused link expires after 14 days.

A picture of breakfast. A word your family made its own.
The part the picture can’t tell you
“She said ‘strawbabies.’
We kept it.”
A fictional sample memory.
Remember the story. Not just the photo.
Give your pictures
a little voice.
The photo shows the smile. But what made them laugh? What did they say? Why did you reach for your phone?
Say it out loud or write a few words. No perfect captions. Just tell it the way you’d tell someone you love.
Close to your heart. Not open to everyone.
A place to look back.
Not a place to keep up.
Kinlo is a private shared family timeline. You choose who’s in it. No public feed, no followers, no third-party ads, and we don’t sell your personal information. Photos, videos and recordings are encrypted on your phone before upload. Kinlo is not end-to-end encrypted: our systems manage the encryption keys and can process content to provide the features you choose, including optional AI drafts.
How Kinlo protects your memoriesThe kitchen can be messy. The picture can be blurry.
It still belongs here.
Your moments. Your people.
Today’s little things.
Tomorrow’s “remember when?”
You don’t have to catch up on everything.
Just start with one moment you’d like to keep.

Why we made Kinlo
We had the photos.
We were losing the stories.
We became parents for the first time a year ago. We took so many photos and videos, but looking back, we couldn’t always remember the little stories behind them. That first year had gone by so fast.
We don’t share much on social media. We wanted a private place of our own, and a simple way to share everyday moments with grandparents far away, without asking them to install another app.
That’s why we made Kinlo: to keep the moments, and the stories that make them ours.
Good to know
A few questions, answered.
Wondering if Kinlo fits your family? Tell us what you’d like to save.
Talk to usIs Kinlo free?
Yes. Start free with 500 MB of shared family storage. If you reach your limit, saved content stays readable.
Can I start on my own?
Yes. You can start saving memories yourself and invite adult family members when you are ready.
Where can I download Kinlo?
Kinlo is available on the App Store for iPhone and Google Play for Android. It is designed for parents and adult family members.
Can grandparents see our memories without the app?
Yes. If you're the family's owner or an admin, open their page in Kinlo, create their private web link and send it to them. It opens in any web browser, with no app to install and no account to make. They can look through photos, play videos and recordings, read the stories, and leave a heart or a comment that your family sees in Activity.
By default, the link shows every Memory and Milestone except those marked "admins only". It works only in the first browser that opens it, so send it straight to the person it's for. Until it's opened, you can replace or cancel it, and an unused link expires after 14 days. For help ending access after a link has been opened, contact support@getkinlo.app.
How private is my family timeline?
Kinlo has no public feed, no followers and no third-party ads, and we don't sell your personal information. Your memories are shared with the adults you invite to your family and with anyone you create a private web link for. Memories marked "admins only" stay with your family's admins.
Photos, videos and recordings are encrypted on your phone before upload. Kinlo is not end-to-end encrypted: our systems manage the encryption keys and can process content to provide the features you choose, including optional AI drafts with Google Gemini that you review before saving. Comments, reactions and who is in your family are readable by our systems. Our privacy policy has the details.
What can I save in Kinlo?
Save Memories and Milestones with photos, videos, recordings and written stories. Add media from your library and write the details yourself, or use optional AI voice capture to prepare a draft you can review and edit.
Do I have to use AI?
No. You can write and save memories manually. If you choose AI voice capture, Kinlo asks your permission to share your recording with Google Gemini, then prepares a draft for you to review and edit before saving.
Does Kinlo save my voice recording?
It depends on how you record. A recording you make inside a memory, up to 10 minutes long, is saved with that memory, so you can play it again. If you use the optional AI capture instead, Kinlo asks your permission and sends the recording to Google Gemini to prepare a draft, which you review and edit before saving. That recording isn't saved with the memory. To keep someone's voice, record audio in the memory.
Can I export or delete my memories?
You can download your family data from Settings and request account deletion. Including stored photos, videos, and other media in your export requires Kinlo Plus. Account deletion details.
