About three minutes, one time. After that, KinLink comes to you: a quiet alert when your family arrives at or leaves the Places you named.
Free at launch. No credit card. iOS, November 15, 2026.
Setup
Real screens from the app, at real speed. This is the whole thing.
Tap the map, name it Home, set a radius. That's a Place. Add School and Grandma's whenever you like; the map grows with you.
About 40 secondsShare the invite code with your family member. They enter it plus the PIN you set. Two keys, one clear yes, and you're connected.
About a minuteThe first time they arrive at a Place, your phone tells you. No app to open, nothing to check, and a quiet log of the day if you ever want it.
DoneAfter setup
Mostly nothing, which is the point. Then a small moment of knowing.
A push alert the moment they enter or leave a Place. No app-opening needed.
Request a Check-in. They answer with a tap, their location, and a note if they like.
Every arrival, remembered, in case you ever want to look. Nothing to check.
Coming from another family app?
No groups, no admins, no juggling. Just your family and the Places you named.
KinLink is not a report card. Nothing to grade, nothing to argue about at dinner.
Places do the watching. Your phone speaks up when something changes, then stays quiet.
Location and notifications. That's the whole setup, and you'll see exactly why each one is asked.

Secure by design
Pairing needs both the invite code and a PIN you set separately. Nobody joins by accident.
The Dependent accepts on their own phone, every time. There is no silent tracking in KinLink.
Mark a Place private and only you see it. Everything else is a shared map of your family's life.
About three minutes for a Guardian, once. Your family member's side is under a minute: install, enter the code and PIN, accept.
Just an iPhone with KinLink installed and an invite from you. They see exactly what is shared, and they say yes on their own screen.
Places use the phone's built-in geofencing, which is designed to run all day. KinLink is not polling a live location in the background.
