Kinwise
Names, faces, the right titles
Meeting your partner's family? See each face, name and the right way to address them in a minute. Large text and VoiceOver make it easy for grandparents too.
Coming soon to the App Store
Getting married means meeting a whole new family, and the hardest part is remembering who is who. Kinwise keeps your partner's family in one warm, simple map: faces, names, ages, birthdays and the right way to address each person.
Family map
- Tap anyone to see how they're related to you and what to call them
- Add parents, siblings, partners and children with a tap, and watch the map grow
- Your family, your partner's family, friends and coworkers are gently color-coded
- Keep loved ones who have passed away on the map, so no connection is lost
Forms of address, done right
- Kinwise knows which side of the family someone is on and who is older, so you get the right word in 10 languages, from Chinese 大舅子 and Hindi मामा to Turkish baldız
- See who someone is at a glance: "Minjae's son Doyun"
- If your family says it differently, set your own word
Remember, not just record
- A 5-question daily quiz for faces, names and birthdays
- The evening before a family visit, flip through everyone you're about to meet
- Reminders for birthdays and memorial days
- Unknown details collect in one list you can send to your partner
Fill it in together
- Invite your partner to edit the same map. Each of you sees titles from your own point of view
- Editing together works between iPhones on iOS 26 or later; changes usually show up for the other person within a minute
Easy for everyone
- Large text, Dark Mode and VoiceOver are supported, with big buttons and clear contrast, so grandparents can use it too
- Seeing faces, names and relationships together can help people with memory difficulties, and the families who care for them, recognize relatives. Kinwise is not a medical app and does not diagnose or treat any condition
Privacy first
- Your family information stays on your devices and in iCloud; a shared family lives in its creator's iCloud. No ads, no tracking
- Face detection runs on your device, and only the cropped face is saved
Kinwise Pro and Plus
- The family map, forms of address, quizzes, photos, widgets, reminders and co-editing are free for one family of up to 10 people
- Free trial: tap Get started on the trial notice to use every feature with no limits for 7 days. No payment details needed, and nothing is charged when it ends
- Lifetime Pro (a one-time purchase) or Kinwise Plus (monthly or yearly subscription) unlocks every current feature: no people limit, the event prep helper, and exporting your family map and info to files
- Event prep helper: before holidays, birthdays, memorial days and gatherings, get a new pack built from your family: who you'll see and how to address them, what they can't eat, greetings and a checklist
- When a trial or subscription ends, a family of more than 10 people is locked and can't be viewed. Nothing is deleted, automatic backups keep running, and it reopens as soon as you have Pro or Plus again
