Maya Patel

Executive Coach

"Kinship is a wonderful app that humanizes. Thinking about others and reminding them, in a meaningful way, that I am thinking about them is what it’s all about. Kinship fills the gap between “contacts” and calendar reminders. Well done."

Aisha Nguyen

MBA Candidate

"As someone who puts an emphasis on personal relationships, I love how thoughtful this app is to keep all the important details in one place. Intuitive and easy to use!"

Luca Bianchi

Business Consultant

"Wonderfully designed and intuitive, this app makes it easy to keep track of important facts and tidbits about the people in your network. No more note-taking and disparate systems that I can never locate when I need them. Kinship is my only stop for all my contact/relationship management needs."

Nicole

Wealth Manager

"LinkedIn is great for basic professional connection, but underwhelming to say the least for relationship management. Typical CRMs are super clunky and not usable in ad hoc or even planned life interactions and meetups with people. Kinship really hits the nail on the head in giving me an easy way to update, view, and engage my contacts."

Jonah Thompson

Real Estate Agent

"Amazing app! Ingenious way to keep all my personal and business contacts together with the info I need most."

Is Kinship secure?

Yes. You alone have access to your data, and we will never sell, license, or share it — ever.

When it comes to both you and your Kin, we do not collect identifying data, including but not limited to names, contact details, notes, pictures, etc.

The only data we collect is anonymized via safe analytics services and platforms to understand how to improve Kinship.

👉 Check out our Privacy Policy for more nitty gritty.

Is this really free?

Yep, the spreadsheet template is totally free. We wanted to create a starting point for organizing your important connections. And if you want to move all your data into the Kinship app for a frictionless mobile experience, we charge a small one time fee of $5.99.

Is Kinship designed for personal or professional use?

Both! Kinship is versatile and can be used to manage personal and professional relationships. It was specifically designed to create a simple solution for busy professionals who need an on-the-go contact management system. No matter whether you are using Kinship to activate your business network or maintain your personal connections, our goal is to make you more organized and intentional in your relationships.

Why do I need to share my information?

The only details we collect are your Name and Email Address to send you the downloadable Smartsheet and offer support when you need it.

Who should I add to Kinship?

There's no limit to the number of contacts you can add to Kinship, whether you are doing it manually or importing from your phone or spreadsheet.

Start by entering your most important connections - like leads, clients, partners, and colleagues - and grow as you go!

Can I merge this with an existing spreadsheet or do I have to manually add my data?

Since this spreadsheet includes smart features, we recommend not changing the columns, as doing so may affect other pages. Instead, copy data from other spreadsheets and paste it into this template or start from scratch and manually add your contacts.

‍

Do my contacts get notified that I am using Kinship when I reach out?

Nope. You can conveniently start a text message, email, or WhatsApp message directly from the Kinship app, but your contacts will not be notified that you are using Kinship to help you remember to stay connected.

The best part is all of our connection history is stored in Kinship so you can see the last time you reached out to each contact.

How do I import my contacts from this spreadsheet into my Kinship app?

For a one time fee our customer support team will help you sync all your contacts and notes from our provided spreadsheet template into your Kinship account. This way, once you log in, all your contacts, connection history and notes will be ready and waiting for you. To get started, email support@kinshipsystems.com

‍

How do I give feedback?

We want to hear from you. Contact us to share any feedback or requests for features. We take your feedback seriously and are constantly improving Kinship to best meet our users’ needs.

What details should I save about people?

The details section in each kin profile is one of the most powerful features of Kinship.

This is the space where you can create and organize your own form fields to remember what is most important about every single person, and connect more intentionally in future interactions.
