About Kinorbit: Stay In Touch
Kinorbit helps you keep your inner circle close. Choose the people who matter most, and it tells you who is due, opens their chat in one tap, and remembers what you talked about last time. It is built around a limit. You choose a small number of people and place them in three circles: Core, up to 5 people: who you want to hear from every week Close, up to 15 people: who you want to stay meaningfully connected with each month Wider, up to 30 people: who you want to keep in your life across the year That is 50 people, on purpose. When a circle is full, Kinorbit asks you to make room instead of letting it quietly grow. You choose who matters most, and Kinorbit keeps track of when to reach out. WHAT KINORBIT ACTUALLY DOES One tap from reminder to conversation Tap a reminder and their chat opens straight away in Messages, WhatsApp, Messenger, or however you usually talk. Calls and FaceTime start the same way. When you are back, log it with a quick note. Pick up where you left off The next reminder brings that note back, like "Last time on WhatsApp: Camping trip in June." No note? It mentions how you last caught up instead. Turn notes off anytime in Settings. Your next check-in, on your Lock Screen On iOS 26 and later, your next reminder for someone in Core or Close can wait on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island as a Live Activity. Tap it to reach out, tick it once you have talked, or choose Not Today. Start with the people you already have Import from Contacts in one pass, or add someone by hand in a few seconds. Contacts permission is optional, nothing is uploaded, and only the people you pick are saved. One suggestion a day, not a backlog The Today screen shows who is due next and why, one person at a time. Set your daily Social Energy (Low, Balanced, or Open) and Kinorbit will never show you more than you asked for. No streaks, no overdue counts, no guilt. Reminders that explain themselves Every reminder names one person, shows their face, and says why they came to mind. Pick a Voice for how reminders sound: Warm, Gentle, or Playful. Reach out however you actually talk Message, call, or FaceTime, or use WhatsApp, Messenger, Instagram, Snapchat, TikTok, Discord, and more. Even someone you add by hand can be reached, with no Contacts permission needed. Birthdays, handled on their own Special dates arrive in the morning with enough notice to act on them, and never count against your Social Energy or your circles. See it, don't just scroll it Browse your circles as a list, a grid, or a floating visual you can drag people through. Make everyone look like themselves Give a person a photo, a monogram, or pick from 58 hand-illustrated avatars in your favorite color. A photo can become a clean cutout sticker. Widgets that stay current The Connections widget puts your circles on your Home Screen, with a warmth ring on every face and a badge on anyone who is due. Other Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets show who is coming up next, without opening the app. Private by design Your circles live on your device and sync through your own iCloud account. There is no Kinorbit account and no server holding your people. WHO KINORBIT IS FOR If you have opened your contacts, felt overwhelmed, and closed it again without calling anyone, Kinorbit is built for that moment. It is for people who moved away from family and old friends, who have a demanding job or a new kid, or who just want fewer, better-kept relationships. Inspired by research on the natural limits of close relationships. Kinorbit is a personal tool, not a clinical or scientific instrument. Kinorbit is free for up to 15 people. Kinorbit Premium, an optional subscription, adds room for 50 and unlocks widgets, birthday reminders, reminder voices, and the full avatar library.
