Apple displays the price in your local currency and introductory-offer eligibility before you confirm. Prices may differ by country or region. Trial access begins when you confirm with Apple.

Included with active access

One subscriber can invite household members at no additional charge through private iCloud sharing. Choose view-only or editing access. Members can receive optional event reminders and change alerts that show who changed what, with a mute option. Each participant uses their own Apple Account. Background updates and notification delivery depend on iOS.

Removing or reducing access remains available after a subscription ends.

Your saved data is kept. Start a trial, renew, or join a calendar to continue.

Renewal and cancellation

Payment is charged to your Apple Account. The subscription renews automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the trial or current billing period. Apple may charge for renewal within 24 hours before the current period ends. Manage or cancel through Apple Settings → your name → Subscriptions. Deleting the app does not cancel billing.

Restore purchases

Restore using the Apple Account that made the purchase. Your iCloud sharing account can be different.

Limits of the schedule

Results depend on the schedules and personal plans you enter. The app does not know about employer changes, appointments or other calendars unless you add them. All family members use one household time zone. Exported images are snapshots and do not update.

Terms of use

The app uses Apple’s Standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement. See our privacy policy or contact support on GitHub.

Owner-approved Private Space

Private Space is available only to the owner and explicitly approved Apple Accounts. Private plans, standalone and linked lists, activity confirmations and change history use a separate restricted iCloud share. Family editing access does not grant private access. Private alerts show generic wording only. Private caches and recovery copies are encrypted on this device and excluded from device backups. Shared private areas require an online access check and a biometric or private PIN unlock. Devices using the same Apple Account share that account’s permissions.

The owner approves private View only or Can edit access separately after the person joins the family calendar. A private invitation must be accepted before access begins. New approval includes the existing private plans, lists and history. Removing family access through Kinly removes private access first. For changes made outside Kinly, the owner’s app reconciles the separate shares when it next connects. Previously exported images cannot be recalled.

In Private Space, choose Find time for us. Choose exactly two adult schedules and every child whose availability matters. Confirm activities where neither adult is needed, then add drop-off and pickup allowances. Both adults must be free while every selected child is occupied for the whole window. Sleep does not count as independent care. Recheck plans when schedules change.

Stopping sharing retains an encrypted private recovery copy on the owner’s device. Open Private Space → Private Space settings → Private recovery copies to restore into an empty private area or delete a copy. The original Apple Account is required for a cloud recovery copy. Reset saved data removes the current local private area; recovery copies have separate delete controls. Private plans and lists are never included in ordinary family exports.

Open Lists → Private Space or Together → Private Space to create a standalone shopping, packing, chore, project or to-do list. No event or time-finder setup is required. Only owner-approved Apple Accounts can see these lists. Everyone approved for this Private Space can see its plans, lists and history; there is no separate audience for each list. A child cannot see a Christmas list unless their Apple Account is approved for Private Space.

Event locations and Apple Maps

Add an optional place or address to an event. Tap Open in Apple Maps to search for that location. Kinly sends only the saved location text after you tap; it does not track your location or search while you type. Private locations require an unlocked Private Space and a confirmation before leaving Kinly. Maps has its own history and privacy controls.

Private plans, drafts and notifications

Create a private plan for any date with New private plan. Schedules are optional; creating a plan does not require a child schedule or time-finder setup. Find time for us separately compares two adults and, optionally, children whose independent activities you have confirmed.

Changed private forms offer Keep editing, Save draft and Discard. Drafts stay encrypted on this device, tied to the calendar and account. Unlock Private Space to resume them. Saving rechecks access and protects changes made by another member. Private lists support Undo, several items at once, fresh copies, pins and task filters.

Notifications on this device separates reminders from change alerts. Assigning a task does not notify anyone automatically. Personal task reminders arrive at 9 AM on their due date. Private alerts hide names, times and notes. Muting change alerts does not mute reminders or replay old updates when you unmute.

An optional place search sends your typed query to Apple Maps only after you choose Search. Private location lookup asks for confirmation first. Recent places remain within their family or private context. Kinly does not request your current location. Returning from Maps requires a private unlock.
