One question a day for the people closest to you.
Start a private circle with your family or friends. Kinely sends everyone the same question each day, and every answer is saved.
On iPhone? It's coming soon.
Answer first, then see what everyone said.
You can't see anyone's answer until you've shared your own. That way everyone says what they really think, instead of reacting to each other. Try it.
Today's question
What was your favorite meal growing up, and who made it?
Share yours to see theirs
- The question arrives at a time your circle chooses.
- Answer with a few words, a voice note of up to 90 seconds, or a photo.
- At midnight, the day’s answers are saved to your archive.
Then you hear from everyone.
One simple question, and you learn something new about people you've known your whole life.
Today's question
What was your favorite meal growing up, and who made it?
- Nana1:12
- Dad
Mom's lentil soup. Thirty years of trying, and mine still doesn't taste like hers.
- Maya
Dad's pancakes, the burnt ones. I didn't know they were supposed to be golden until I was twelve.
DadThey were caramelized. On purpose.
- Theo
Grandpa's fried eggs on Saturdays. He let me crack them, even when I got shell in.
An example circle. The answers are made up.
The stories you haven't asked yet.
How your grandparents met. What your dad was like at twenty. Everyone means to ask about these stories, and most people never do.
Kinely asks for you, every day. Anyone who would rather talk than type can press record, and their voice is saved with the answer.
A year of answers, kept in one place.
Each day's question is saved with everyone's answers, photos and voice notes. Scroll back to any day, or search for a name or a word.
At the end of the year you can have it printed as a book. We're putting together the first ones by hand this December.
You might be wondering
The short answers. Tap a question to open it.
What if nobody else joins in?
You don’t need everyone on day one. One person starts the circle and invites the others. Everyone gets a notification when the question arrives, and a good question is usually enough to get people answering.
What if we forget to answer?
Nothing is lost. Skip a day or a week, and your archive stays put. A new question still arrives the next day.
What kind of questions does it ask?
Close to a thousand of them: childhood memories, funny hypotheticals, values, the year so far. No question repeats until your circle has been through the whole library, and some are saved for holidays and birthdays.
Can we answer together, in the same room?
Yes. Gather Mode puts the question on one phone in the middle of the table, and each person records their answer in turn. You can also invite a guest to answer that day’s question with you.
Can someone join later?
Anytime. Anyone who joins later can scroll back through everything the circle has answered since it started.
Is this another app that eats our time?
It’s one question a day. Answer it and you’re done: no feed, no likes, no ads. Often the best part happens later, when someone brings up an answer at dinner.
Who can see what we write?
Only the people in your circle. Nothing is public, nothing is sold, and you can delete your account and everything in it at any time.
Tomorrow’s question is already waiting.
Start a circle today and invite the people you love. It’s $6.99 a month for your whole circle.
