Kinu
Save the little things. Be the friend who remembered.
What this is
A private app for remembering personal details about friends and family, birthdays, stories, small moments, that resurfaces them at the right time, instead of behaving like a personal CRM that tracks your follow-up streaks.
Our one-line summary — not the founder’s tagline.
- How it works
- Lets you quickly log notes and voice notes about people, set recurring rituals like a monthly call, and adjust reminder frequency by energy level; each morning it suggests one person to reach out to.
- Best for
- People who want to stay in touch with friends and family without CRM-style tracking pressure.

Where it shows up
Every group here is a page of its own — each one checked daily.
The numbersIs it still shipping, is it overpriced, where did it land — and what the price is built from.
League price & chart
No money. No seat. It goes on your record — and in 28 days reality settles it.
Calls are closed while we rebuild accounts. You can still read every one of them.
Marketing. Launched 7d ago on TinyLaunch, picking up 13 votes. Today, it's live, but nothing on the site has changed since we started watching.
Moving right now. The clock only starts when a launch goes quiet.
We check this site every day, ourselves. A founder can post “still working on it” — a claim like that doesn't price. What we price is what we can verify from the outside: evidence, not announcements. The real question isn't “will this be huge?” — it's “will they still be moving in four weeks?”
The market viewHow this launch is priced and ranked in our league — the investor side of the page.
ranked by the reality anchor, not the market price
It launched on TinyLaunch with 13 votes. It also showed up on 3 other boards — but didn't place well enough on any of them, so none of them add to the price. Listing on twelve directories is free; placing well on them isn't.
No matter how much money goes in. There is no pump here — you can't make yourself right by buying more. The line only moves on things that actually happened: an award, revenue that grew, a new platform, code that shipped — or silence.
3 quiet days in between are left out — nothing happened on them. A launch that goes quiet eases down a little at a time — never a cliff you could have run from the night before.
How the launch is moving on its own board, day by day — the crowd's attention.
A flat line is normal: votes stop within a day or two of launch, on every board. What's unusual — and what actually counts — is a launch that keeps pulling votes long after its day is over.
About
A friend mentions her dog's name, a new job, the half marathon she's training for. A month later it's gone. Kinu is a private place to keep the little things about your people. Birthdays, stories, notes, voice notes, small moments. Write them down in seconds and they come back when they matter, so reaching out starts with something real instead of "hey, long time." Most apps here are personal CRMs in a friendlier coat. They want your inbox and your calendar, then measure how well you keep up. Kinu does none of that. Set a ritual, a Sunday call with your mom, a monthly coffee, and it comes back each time without a streak to break. Some weeks you have nothing to give. Put someone on low energy and the nudges soften. Pause them and they stop entirely. That is not failing at friendship, it is being honest about capacity. Each morning Kinu suggests one person. Just one. Ignore it and nothing happens. Private notes stay private, never used for reminders, never analyzed. Nothing is pulled from your email, contacts, or social accounts. Kinu knows what you chose to tell it, and it stays on your device unless you turn on encrypted sync. No feeds. No followers. No ads. Works offline. Free for up to 10 people on iOS and Android. Kinu Plus is $6.99 a month or $69.99 a year for unlimited people, encrypted sync, and desktop access at kinu.care. Be the friend who remembers.

The board it did best on sets the price. Every other board only adds to it if the launch also placed high on that board too — because just showing up somewhere isn't an achievement. Listing on twelve directories is free; placing well on them isn't.
