About Koinonia - relationships
Life gets busy. Good friendships slip anyway. Koinonia is a simple app for iPhone, iPad, and Mac that remembers who you meant to call, what you last talked about, and when someone is due for a catch-up. No feed, no likes, no streaks. Koinonia is for everyone: For the introvert who needs prompting, and the extrovert who needs organisation For the pastor with many to shepherd, and a friend worth more than their weight in gold For the Type A who likes to be organised, for the Type B who needs to be organised KEY FEATURES: Organise Your People Group friends into Circles like Best Friends, Family, Work, or Church. Each circle has a colour you choose. On the friends grid, circle colours show as rings around each photo (up to four colours blended when someone is in several circles). Filter by circle, sort by name or last catch-up, and see each friend's catch-up status on the grid. Set Your Rhythm Choose how often you'd like to catch up with each friend: weekly, monthly, or just when it feels right. Koinonia tracks your catch-up history and shows clear status: Overdue (red), Due (orange), Scheduled (blue), and On Track (green). Never Miss a Moment Your Timeline shows upcoming birthdays, important dates, reminders, planned catch-ups, and friends who are due — grouped as overdue, today, this week, and later. Tap a row to open a profile. Long-press to Plan, Log, or Reschedule. Swipe left on overdue items to snooze for one week. Agenda Add things you want to discuss next time. They appear when you plan a catch-up, on the Timeline, and on each friend's profile. Tick them off when you log. Long-press to edit or delete. Remember the Little Things Capture quotes, gift ideas, post-it notes, and memories so you can show up thoughtfully. Keep birthdays and important dates (milestones and reminders) in one list on each profile. Plan and Log Catch-ups When someone is due, pick a date and how you'll connect. Open agenda items carry into the plan. After you meet, log notes and photos, tick off what you covered, flag date-only follow-ups, and save a topic as a prayer point with one tap. Optionally add the plan to your calendar. Insights See who may need a nudge. Friends are grouped by rhythm (weekly through ad-hoc), with overdue listed first. Overdue and due-soon counts at the top. Collapsible sections for most-connected friends, six-month trends, and circles. No streaks, no scores. Notifications Reminders the day before a catch-up is due, alerts when you're overdue, and birthday notifications. Prayer Guide (Optional) Keep what to pray for next to the people it belongs to, plus a personal section for yourself or anyone you don't track in the app. Tick points off as you pray, walk through Prayer Mode, and message someone afterwards if they have a number on their profile. Mark a prayer as answered to keep it for encouragement, or delete it if you don't want it saved. Turn the whole tab off in Settings if you don't need it. Contacts Import names, photos, and birthdays from Apple Contacts. Refresh linked friends when details change. Read-only - your contact cards are never modified. iCloud Sync (Optional) Sync across iPhone, iPad, and Mac using your own iCloud account. Encrypted in transit and at rest by Apple; not separately end-to-end encrypted. Enable or disable anytime in Settings. Mac Native Mac app with a sidebar for Friends, Timeline, Prayer, Insights, and Settings. Same iCloud data and Koinonia Unlimited subscription.

What’s new
Version 3.3 · Updated October 26, 2026
New: Widgets! - Friend of the Day puts someone on your Home Screen each day: whoever is most in need of a catch-up, with their birthday and how many prayer points you have for them. Tap to open their profile. - Prayer Guide shows today's prayer progress and who's still on your list. Tap to start praying. - Add them to your Home Screen or Lock Screen, or your Mac desktop. Widgets never show what a prayer point says. Prayer summary When you finish the prayer guide, see who you prayed for and send each person a short note to let them know you've been praying. Your prayer points are never quoted. Better reminders - Every reminder and important date you add now sends a notification, including ones added on your other devices. - Koinonia asks for notification permission when you first need it, not when you open the app. Also improved - Timeline, Insights and the Prayer guide update straight away when things change, including from your other devices. - Photos take up less space and sync faster. - Rescheduled catch-ups update the right calendar event, and times follow your 12- or 24-hour setting. - Many smaller fixes and performance improvements.
