Completely passive
Once set up, Kino works entirely in the background. You never need to open the app or tap a button — your natural activity does the work.
Private by design
Your loved ones know you're okay — without checking in
Kino quietly helps your family and friends stay reassured using your phone's natural activity. No dashboards. No location trails. Just peace of mind when it matters.

Why Kino
Reassurance, done right
Designed from the ground up to protect your privacy while keeping the people you love at ease.
Private by design
Kino uses only your step count — nothing more. No GPS, no calendar, no messages. Your personal life stays personal.
Your trusted circle
You choose exactly who receives reassurance updates. Add family members, close friends, or a carer — and remove them any time.
Real-time & automatic
Kino evaluates your activity continuously. When your pattern looks normal, your loved ones are reassured — silently and instantly.
No location, ever
Kino explicitly does not use your GPS location. We believe where you go is your business — not ours, and not your contacts'.
Quiet notifications
Your trusted circle receives brief, reassuring updates — not a stream of alerts. Enough to give peace of mind, nothing more.
Simple setup
Up and running in minutes
Three steps and Kino handles everything else, automatically.
Download & grant Health access
Install Kino from the App Store and allow it to read your step count from Apple Health. That's the only data it ever uses.
Choose your trusted circle
Pick the people who should receive reassurance — family members, a close friend, or a carer. You're always in control.
Go about your day
Kino runs quietly in the background. When your activity looks normal, your loved ones are reassured — automatically and silently.
Privacy first
What Kino knows — and what it doesn't
We built Kino around the principle that the least data is the best data. Your step count is enough to tell the story that matters — that you're moving through your day as usual.
