Private by design

There is no account and no sign-up. Your family tree is stored on your phone, encrypted with AES-256-GCM using a key held in the Android Keystore, and is not uploaded to our servers. You can lock the app with your fingerprint or screen lock. The free version shows ads from Google AdMob. Read the privacy policy and the terms of use.

Questions

Do I need to create an account?

No. Kinvale has no sign-up or login.

Where is my family tree stored?

On your phone, encrypted. It is not uploaded to us and we cannot see it.

What happens if I change or lose my phone?

Because we hold no copy, you need your own backup. Export a backup from the app, keep it somewhere safe, and import it on the new phone.

Can relatives see or edit the tree with me?

You can share a tree, choosing which people and details to include, and a relative can import it. Shared family circles and live sync between phones are not built yet.

Is the app available in Telugu or Hindi?

Kinship words in the relationship finder are in English, Telugu and Hindi, and you can dictate answers in those languages. A full Telugu or Hindi interface is not built yet.

When can I download it?

Kinvale is in closed testing on Google Play. This page will link to the listing when it is public.
