Features

27 tools. One family home base.

Calendar, chores, lists, meals, budget, travel, chat, family locator, local events, and documents — together, and in sync.

Calendar & Events

One schedule the whole household can actually see.

Shared Family Calendar

Full month view with event dots for every family member on iPhone and Android, recurring events (daily, weekly, biweekly, monthly), color-coded member filters, attendee tracking, driver assignments, schedule-conflict detection, and instant household sync via family code. Hide imported phone-calendar events inside Kinrally without deleting them from your real calendar — restorable anytime.

2-Way Calendar Sync

2-way sync with Google, Apple & Outlook calendars on iPhone and Android — mirror Kinrally events into your phone's calendar and see outside events inside the app.

AI Flyer Scanner AI

Snap a photo of a school flyer, birthday invite, or park poster and AI reads the title, date, time, and location to pre-fill the event. 3 free scans; included with Plus.

“I'm Running Late” Broadcast

One tap tells the whole family you're 5, 10, 15, or 30 minutes behind.

Reminders & Departure Alarms

Event reminders with custom lead times, plus alarms for when it's time to leave the house.

Live Houston Events Calendar

Aggregates local happenings from six Houston-area sources, grouped by county, so you can find the weekend activity everyone will enjoy.

Events Anywhere

Search family-friendly events in any city or ZIP code, then add them to your calendar in one tap. Houston families also get the county-by-county local guide and Family Deals Today (free and cheap things to do, refreshed daily).

Gift & Occasion Ideas

Birthdays, anniversaries, graduations, and holidays on your calendar get one-tap gift ideas, so you're never shopping the night before.

Household Tools

Chores, lists, meals, money, trips, and paperwork in one place.

ToDo Lists

Shared and personal task lists with due dates, urgency flags, and assignments.

Group To-Do Lists

Shared task lists with other families or a circle, with one task assignable to several people at once.

Gamified Kid Chores

Assign chores with emoji, repeat schedules, and completion tracking. Always free.

Shared Shopping Lists

Real-time collaborative grocery and packing lists, plus one-tap starter templates like Back to School, Camping, and Beach Day. Check off exactly which items you want and send only those to Instacart, Amazon, Walmart, or Target. Free for all family members. Works directly with your existing store accounts.

⚡ Direct 1-Tap Checkout via Instacart & Amazon

Nearby Store AlertsPlus

Save your regular stores. When you pass one with items still on the list, Kinrally pings you with what to grab.

AI Meal Planner AI

One tap plans a week of breakfasts, lunches, and dinners with full recipes and ingredients. Set food allergies once — 9 common allergens plus custom entries — and every plan stays allergy-safe. Pick a food style (Italian, Mexican, Asian, comfort food), and smart planning only fills empty slots so it never overwrites meals you've planned. Manual meal planning is always free. AI-assisted planning gives you one plan on the free tier, and AI meal planning is included with Plus. Locked-in plans stay fully viewable and editable forever, even without Plus. Works directly with your existing store accounts.

Recipes

Save recipes manually or import them from any website link — then order the ingredients straight from the recipe page, scaled to your serving size.

Family Budget

Track household spending by category, set monthly limits for each category, and add recurring bills that log themselves every month. Create your own categories like Piano Lessons or Dog. Every budget syncs to every member of the household. Edit anything later and export to CSV.

Get It Done

Type “fix the AC” and Kinrally works out what kind of job it is across 50+ home, auto, and family service categories, then offers three routes: do it yourself, buy the parts, or find a local pro.

Travel Plans

Organize trips with flights, hotels, activities, confirmation numbers, and costs in one itinerary — and edit any plan or booking after you create it.

AI Travel Itinerary Planner AI

Tell the assistant your travel dates and budget, and it builds a full day-by-day itinerary. Manual trip entry (flights, hotels, activities, costs) stays free. AI-generated itineraries use credits: 1 credit for trips up to 7 days, 2 credits for 8–14 days, 3 credits for 15+ days. Free households get 1 lifetime trial credit (with 1 regenerate allowed). Plus households get 3 credits per month, rolling over up to a max of 6. Additional credit packs can be purchased anytime. Locked-in itineraries stay fully viewable and editable forever, regardless of Plus status.

Travel Booking Hub

Search flights (just type a city and state, no airport codes needed), hotels, vacation rentals, rental cars, activities, restaurants, cruises, travel eSIMs, travel insurance, airport pickups, and travel gear. Compare trusted booking sites and always choose where you book.

Documents Vault

Snap photos of insurance cards, school forms, passports, and IDs. Stored privately on your device, with optional family cloud backup and expiration reminders.

Free Up Space

See everything your household has stored, biggest first, with previews. Members can delete their own uploads; the household owner can delete anything.

Family Timeline & Journal

Capture memories with camera photos, 60-second videos with inline playback, and voice notes after events.

Messaging & Community

Private family chat, plus the neighbors you actually trust.

Private Family Messenger

Group and 1-on-1 conversations with typing indicators, photo and video sharing, reactions, read receipts, and voice dictation.

Teen Chat Oversight

Rooms teens create stay paused until a parent approves them, and are automatically declined after 48 hours. Parents can turn on full message visibility for a room — and the teen is always told.

Community Board

Post and comment with trusted neighbor families.

Plan This

Turn a community post or local event into an invite-only group chat. Invite whole circles at once, and messages auto-delete 3–30 days after the event.

Trusted Neighbors & Circles

Build your carpool and recommendation network beyond your household.

Quiet Hours

Mute notifications on your family's schedule.

Personalization & Privacy

Make it yours, and keep your family's data yours.

Customizable Dashboard

Hold any dashboard card to swap in the shortcuts your family uses most — Events, Neighbors, Circles, Messages, Tasks, Chores, Meals, Budget.

Where Is Everyone

A family map that answers “how far away is Dad, and when will he get here?” Everyday sharing is neighborhood-level only. A timed “On my way” mode shares a precise location and switches itself off. Low battery is shown so a stale pin makes sense, and older locations are clearly marked. Every person opts in, anyone can stop anytime, and children under 13 need a parent's consent on their own phone.

Household Lock

Protect your household with a PIN or Face ID / fingerprint, and approve each person who asks to join.

Household Storage Meter

See exactly how much of your family's cloud storage is used, broken down by documents, photos, and audio.

Data Export

Download your calendar, lists, recipes, and timeline as a file anytime.

Privacy-First by Default

Neighborhood-level location sharing only, COPPA-conscious kid accounts, and a delete-everything option.
