Kinu
Keeps notes on friends and family, then nudges you to reach out before too much time passes.
Kinu is a personal CRM for friends and family: jot down a birthday, a detail they mentioned, or a big life event, and it resurfaces the right opening when a date comes up or it's been a while since you talked. Data stays on your device unless you turn on encrypted sync, and there's no ads or public feed. Free covers your first 10 people; Plus is $69.99/year (or $6.99/month) for unlimited people and sync, and a $149.99 one-time Founding Member tier skips the subscription entirely.
What holds up
- +Free plan isn't a trial — up to 10 people, every core feature, no time limit and no card.
- +Data stays on your device by default, encrypted only if you choose to sync.
- +Founding Member tier is a $149.99 one-time payment, cheaper than Plus after year three.
- +No ads, no ad tracking, and no public feed — nothing here to perform for.
Mind the limits
- −Free tier caps at 10 people — anyone with a bigger circle needs Plus at $69.99/year.
- −Sync and backup are Plus-only, so the free plan ties your data to a single device.
