Her memories should belong to her.

A digital box, locked with her own key. Hers when you pass it on.

One digital box, two jobs

For the memories you share today, and the answers your kids will want someday.

Now

A private photo box

Share photos and videos with the family you invite. Grandma sees them on her frame. Nobody else can see a thing.

Later

A history box

Record stories, video letters and voice notes, and choose when they open: on a birthday, when they become a parent, or after you're gone.

How it works

Designed for busy parents and for grandparents who don't want another password.

  1. Get the appKinnun runs on your phone.
  2. Add photos and lettersSave photos and record video or voice letters for your child.
  3. Invite familyInvite relatives by name, or pair a photo frame for Grandma.
  4. Pass it onWhen you're ready, the box and the key become hers.

For grandparents

New photos, right on Grandma's frame.

Pair a photo frame once. New photos and letters show up by themselves. No app, no password, nothing posted online.

  • Invite family by name
  • Forwarded links open nothing
  • You choose what each person sees

Why not just use…

Most families keep baby photos in three places. None of them were built to be passed on to a child.

Social media

Built for sharing widely. Hard to keep truly private, and not hers to take with her.

Group chats

Photos get squashed, scattered and lost when someone changes phones.

Cloud photo apps

Tied to a parent's account with a company. Not built to pass on to your child.

Why it's private

Kinnun is being built so that only your family can ever see what you save.

Locked before it leaves your phone

Everything is encrypted on your phone before it's uploaded. We store only locked data we can't open.

Never public

No feeds, no public links. A forwarded link opens nothing for someone you didn't invite.

Yours to take anywhere

Export everything as normal photo and video files, anytime.

A copy at home, if you want one

Prefer to keep a copy on your own computer or home server? You can add one.

Most of what mothers pass down is never written down: the family recipes, the stories, the way she sang you to sleep. Kinnun is for that knowledge.

UN Women recently warned that AI built only on published sources leaves out knowledge that lives in spoken word. Read the interview (Nyaradzayi Gumbonzvanda, UN Women, Nov 10, 2026).

Small AI that works for your family

Kinnun uses AI to help, not to watch. Here's how we're building it:

Small, and on your phone

Sorting photos and turning voice letters into text happens on your own phone, using small models. Nothing is sent to a big AI company.

You decide everything

You choose what gets saved, who sees it, and when a letter opens. You can see, change, export or delete anything.

Made for families like ours

Shaped by real parents and grandparents testing it with us, so it's easy for everyone from new parents to Grandma.

Open source

Kinnun's code will be public, so anyone can check how it works and that it keeps its promises.

Your voice and face stay yours

Voice and face cloning are real, and they hurt women most. Kinnun is built around four promises:

Never used to train AI

Your photos and recordings are never used to train any AI.

Never leaves your phone unencrypted

Backups are locked before they go anywhere.

Watch, don't download

Family can play a letter. They can't take the file.

Your consent, your call

Nothing is done with your voice or face without your say, and you can take it back.

Built by a mom

"I want her to have the answers I never got to ask for."

I lost my mom in my mid-twenties, before I even knew what to ask her. Now I'm a mom myself, and I want my daughter to have my answers, in my own voice, kept safe and truly hers.

Questions

When can I use it?

We're building Kinnun now. Waitlist families get first access and we'll email you as soon as it's ready.

How much will it cost?

Pricing isn't final. Tell us what feels fair in the form below. That's exactly what we're asking.

Can Kinnun see my photos?

No. Kinnun is designed so everything is locked on your phone before upload, and only your family holds the keys.

What happens when I pass it on?
