Kin is a privacy-first social app that helps you discover people around you, share short-lived updates, and start real conversations. No doom scrolling. No algorithm. Just the people that matter, nearby.
No algorithms, no infinite feeds. Just nearby people and genuine conversations.
See who's around you in real time. Browse nearby posts, events, and meetups happening right now — surfaced by proximity, not popularity.
One-on-one and group chat with text, photos, and voice messages. See when friends are online, and pick up conversations where you left off.
Share what you're up to with nearby people. Create local meetups and events with a time, place, and cover image. Content is designed to be ephemeral.
Choose exact, approximate, or off for location sharing. Foreground-only tracking — no background surveillance. Your data stays minimal.
Send friend requests, see mutual connections, and discover interesting people nearby. Block and report anyone with a single tap.
Live location and presence expire in minutes. No permanent footprint. The map feels alive because the data is always fresh.
Sign up, add a photo and short bio. Set your privacy preferences during onboarding — you can always change them later.
Open the live map to see who's nearby. Browse posts and events in your area. Everything is based on proximity — what's close matters most.
Send a friend request, start a chat, or join a local meetup. Kin is designed to get you off your phone and into real-life moments.
