Social media without the anti-social bits
Kin lets you share moments and memories with the people you really care about, in private.
Clutter-free, ad-free and just the people you choose.

What happened to simply sharing photos and videos with friends and family?
The major social media platforms are now mass media platforms, and just not very social.
The conversations, moments and memories that really matter deserve their own, private space. That’s why we made Kin.
Welcome to Kin. Social media made personal.
Kin is a space for friends. A space for families. A space for sharing stories. And remembering and celebrating loved ones. A space where you can escape ads and share in complete privacy, knowing your data is always protected and not for sale.
Family
Reminisce about when Uncle Steve’s jokes were actually funny. Watch the grandkids grow up. Leave an important message for when you’re gone.
Kin is there for any family moment, past present and future.
Friends
Kin is designed with one thing in mind - staying close to the people you care about, like your mates. With Kin you can create Spaces for your different friendship groups, and make sure all the best moments and memories stick around in Storyline.
Clubs, communities, and more…
Kin doesn’t just stop at family and friends. Kin is ideal for sports and social clubs. Use the Storyline to post images and videos of events and allow people to communicate via 1-2-1 or group chats. It a great way to keep everything club related in one private place.
“We created a Kin Space for our wedding and invited all our guest to join. We had all our wedding chats kept in one place. We kept everyone up to date ahead of the event by posting on the Storyline. James even used it to organise the Stag do. We spent the next morning looking through all the images and videos our guessed had shared and commented on. And for Mike and Emma who couldn’t make it, they could still be a part of it all. And not a single photo shared on Facebook!”

Chat
Not everything you want to share is worthy of the Storyline. For everything else there’s Chat!
Directions to weekend BBQ, a joke that’s a little too blue for Grandma, or you’re organising that surprise birthday party…chat lets you message 1 to 1 or in a group.
Create as many group chats as you like and name them how you want.

Future Messages
Sometimes you can have important things to say but now is just not the time. That’s why Kin introduced Future Messages and Posts.
Create that all important message and schedule it for a time in the future. It could be special birthday message, a note for the family for when you’re gone, or simply a Happy New Year message because you’ll be too drunk to send it at the time :)

What people are saying about Kin

An essential app for long-distance families
Especially during times like these with travel at a standstill, Kin is such a brilliant way for my family, who are spread across several time zones, to stay up-to-date on each others' lives. I look forward to when my kids are old enough to have their own account and be able to scroll through all our family's photos and memories in one place

Kin is our family home
Having family all over the world, Kin really is the best place for a family gathering. No ads or news intruding on family time is brilliant too!

So easy, all three generations are using it
During lockdown, I came across this app when I decided to make a goal to digitise all our amazing family photos in one place. It's been such a seamless experience, I was able to get both my parents and my grandparents to create accounts and start adding in their favourite family stories which gave them so much joy as well. They've even created some future memories videos for when the grandkids hit milestone ages.
