A family calendar app made simple,
just like the good old days
Paste the newsletter in and Kinboard finds the dates with simple rules built into the app.
Each person gets their own colored symbol.
Leave the other parent a cute note on the board or pin an important date coming up.
Part of what makes a cork board in the kitchen feel the way it does is that nothing is reading along or trying to optimize your week for you. I built Kinboard to feel the same way. Knowing AI isn't watching in the background is a big part of why it feels nostalgic to me. Our family's schedule is personal, and I wanted it to stay between us.
When I paste in a school newsletter, Kinboard finds the dates with simple rules right on my phone, and none of it gets sent to an AI service. Our board is stored with Google Firebase so my fiancée's phone stays in sync, and Google's terms say they won't use it to train AI without my permission, which I've never given. The Privacy Policy has the details.
So if you care about your family's privacy or you're just a little tired of AI showing up in everything, I hope Kinboard feels like a breath of fresh air for you too :)

Every board is free for 14 days. After that, the family plan costs:
| Country | Monthly | Yearly |
|---|---|---|
| United States | US$3.99 | US$29.99 |
| Canada | CA$4.99 | CA$39.99 |
| United Kingdom | £3.99 | £29.99 |
| Australia | A$5.99 | A$49.99 |
| New Zealand | NZ$6.99 | NZ$49.99 |
No. One parent subscribes and that one subscription covers everyone on the board.
The app is iPhone only for now. A parent with an Android phone or a computer can still join the board in a browser: they open kinboard.family/board and enter the invite code. One parent needs an iPhone to start the board.
iCloud only really works on Apple devices, and we're planning to bring Kinboard to Android too. Firebase lets an iPhone and an Android phone share the same board, so your family doesn't need to be on the same kind of phone. Google's terms say they won't use your board to train AI without our permission, and we've never given it. The Privacy Policy has the details.
Kinboard is available in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, and New Zealand, in English. We're working on bringing it to more countries and languages around the world.
You will need iOS 26 or later.
Send them a one-time invite code from the app. They install Kinboard, enter the code, and they're on the same board. Codes work once and expire after 7 days.
Not right now. Kinboard doesn't connect to Google or Apple Calendar, and we kept it that way on purpose. We know how much is already coming at you every day. Kinboard is meant to feel like the cork board in your kitchen, the one you'd grab a pen and write on. So when a school meeting shows up in your email, just type it into the bar at the bottom (something like "Parent meeting thu 6pm") and it'll land on the right day for every parent on your board. If you've got a whole school newsletter, paste it in and Kinboard will pull out the dates for you. It's a little slower, and we think that's a good thing. Take a breath and have some fun writing in your week like we used to.
Only the parents on your board. You don't need an email address to sign up. There are no ads, and we never sell your information. The Privacy Policy has the details.
No. Kinboard is made for parents with young kids, so your kids don't need an account or a phone. Just add them to the board with their own marker color, and their plans show up for every parent.
About a year. You can page back through the last 52 weeks, and anything older is erased automatically. Birthdays and other repeating marks keep coming back. To erase past weeks sooner, use Clear past weeks in Settings. It clears them for every parent on the board.
