Step-by-step walkthrough

Up and running in minutes.

Getting your family onto KinBond takes less time than a cup of tea. Here's exactly how it works.

Step 01

Create Your Family

Sign up with your email, name your family, choose a family colour and icon (or upload a photo). Your family group is created instantly with a unique invite code.

  • Choose a family name that everyone will recognise
  • Pick a family colour — used throughout the app to personalise your space
  • Upload a family photo or choose from a collection of warm illustrated icons
  • Your unique invite code is ready to share the moment you sign up

Step 02

Invite Family Members

Share a QR code (displayable on-screen or downloadable) or a text invite link. Family members scan the code or tap the link to join instantly.

  • Show your QR code on-screen for anyone nearby to scan
  • Download and print the QR code for family members who prefer paper
  • Copy and paste a text invite link to share via WhatsApp, iMessage, or email
  • New members are guided through profile setup as soon as they join

Step 03

Build Your Profiles

Create a profile for every family member: name, avatar, role, and optional PIN protection. Senior members can be set up in a simplified Senior View — calm enough for a grandparent, powerful enough for a parent.

  • Five roles: Admin, Parent, Caregiver, Senior, Child — each with the right access level
  • Add a warm illustrated avatar or upload a photo
  • Optional PIN protection keeps individual profiles private within the family
  • Senior View mode simplifies the interface for elderly family members

Step 04

Set Up Medications

Add medications for any family member — name, type, frequency, and reminder times. KinBond schedules local reminders automatically.

  • Support for pills, liquids, injections, patches, and more
  • Set flexible schedules: once daily, twice daily, or custom times
  • T−30, on-time, and missed-dose push notifications fire automatically
  • Caregivers receive escalation alerts when a dose has been missed

Step 05

Assign Chores

Create chores with a name, description, due date, and assigned profile. Tap to complete; children can submit a photo as proof. Admins and Parents approve with one tap.

  • Assign any chore to any family member by role or profile
  • Set due dates with automatic reminder notifications
  • Children submit photo proof of completion — parents approve with one tap
  • Builds routine, responsibility, and a sense of accomplishment

Step 06

Share Moments

Post memories (photos + voice memos), updates, and gratitude messages to the Family Board. React, comment, and pin important posts.

  • Three post types: Memory (photos + voice), Update (text), Gratitude (appreciation)
  • React to posts with hearts, laughs, and stars
  • Pin important posts so they stay at the top for everyone
  • No advertisements, no algorithms — just your family

Step 07

Stay Notified

Every family member gets push notifications relevant to their role — medication reminders, chore assignments, post reactions, and caregiver escalations.

  • Role-based notifications: Seniors see simplified alerts; Admins see everything
  • iOS and Android — all devices in your family stay perfectly in sync
  • Caregiver escalation alerts fire when a medication dose is missed
  • Chore assignment and completion notifications keep everyone accountable
