Mia unlocked the "Streak ×7" achievement
Stop duct-taping a dozen apps into a family.
Most "family productivity" is twelve disconnected apps and a group chat where things go to die. Kinhold collapses the stack.

Just Kinhold.One hub. One login. One source of truth.
AI-first interface
Say it once. Done.
Calendar events, reminders, meal plans, chore assignments, vault lookups — tell the assistant what you need and it handles the rest. If an MCP tool can do it, one sentence is all it takes.

Ask anything about your family.
Create, edit, or look things up. Every module in Kinhold is wired into the assistant, so one question can span tasks, calendar, vault, and more.

Use Claude. Or ChatGPT. Or both.
Kinhold ships an MCP server. Connect Claude, ChatGPT, or any client that supports custom MCP servers and manage your family from there.
Built-in assistant too
Don't want to wire up an external client? Kinhold has its own chat baked in, with the same access to your family hub.
Permission-aware
The AI sees exactly what each user is allowed to see. Kids can't peek at the vault.
Everything in one place
A complete operating system for your family.
Eight tightly-integrated modules, all wired into the same dashboard, AI, and permission model.
Drag-and-drop widgets per user. Kids see their leaderboard, achievements, and chore list. Parents see the calendar, the family activity feed, and what needs claiming.
Recurring chores. Family tasks anyone can claim. Points awarded the moment a task is checked off, written to a real ledger so nobody can argue about who did what.
Multiple lists (chores, errands, "honey-do")
Recurring rules (daily, weekly, every other Tuesday)
"Family tasks" anyone can claim for the points
Auto-points on completion. No manual scoring.

Food, end to end
Photo of a recipe → dinner Wednesday → groceries Saturday.
Three modules that work great alone, and even better together. Snap a photo of a recipe (the AI reads it), drop it on a day, and the shopping list builds itself.

Recipes
Drop a photo of grandma's index card. Paste a Pinterest URL. Or type it by hand. The AI extracts the title, ingredients, steps, and serving size.
Meal plan
Drag a recipe onto Wednesday. Mark Friday as pizza out. Plan around soccer practice and the in-laws coming over. The week, on one screen.
Shopping list
Auto-built from the meal plan, deduped across recipes (one onion, not five). Hand it to whoever's running to the store. Check off as you go.
Or use any one on its own. Recipes without meal planning. Shopping lists without recipes. Whatever works for your family.
Calendar
All the calendars. None of the back-and-forth.
Pull in everyone's Google calendar. Subscribe to school ICS feeds. Add manual events with recurrence and visibility modes: visible to all, marked busy, or fully private.

Gamification kids actually like.
Steam-like, not Cocomelon. A real ledger keeps points honest. Achievements unlock automatically. Rewards are whatever your kids actually want, priced in points you set.

AI assistant
You're all set.
Welcome to the Johnson family hub.
Self-hosted
Your server, your data. Docker or Upsun.
Encrypted at rest
Vault items use a separate encryption key.
Export anytime
It's your data. Take it with you whenever.
Transparent pricing
No tiers. No upsells. No mystery.
Self-host is fully free for one family. Or pay us to host it, and we'll show you exactly what you're paying for.
Hosted pricing is a placeholder while we finalize numbers. Self-host pricing is final: $0.
For the nerds
Boring, proven stack. Boring is good.
Built on the things you'd already deploy: Laravel, Vue, Postgres, Redis. No experimental runtime, no node-only edge function only-runs-on-Tuesdays nonsense. Should run for a decade.
Same category logic as a CMS or LMS. A CMS organizes content. An LMS organizes learning. A Family Management System organizes the operational chaos of running a household: schedules, tasks, important documents, meals, motivation for the kids. One hub instead of a dozen apps.
Can my non-technical spouse actually use it?
That's the whole point of the AI assistant. If your spouse can text, they can drive Kinhold. "Add a dentist appointment for Mia next Wednesday at 2" creates the calendar event. No menus to learn.
Is it safe for kids?
Yes. Kid accounts are managed accounts (no email required), see only what their role permits, and never have access to the vault. The gamification was designed to feel like Steam, not a sticker chart.
Do I really need to know Docker to self-host?
If you've ever run docker compose up, you're set. If you haven't, the Upsun deploy template is one click. There's also a setup-simple.sh for SQLite-based home installs.
What is MCP and why do I care?
Model Context Protocol is an open standard that lets AI clients call your app's tools. Kinhold ships an MCP server, so you can manage your family from Claude, ChatGPT, or any other client that supports custom MCP server connections. Bring your own assistant.
Can I export my data?
Always. It's your data. Standard exports for tasks, calendar (ICS), and vault (encrypted JSON). No lock-in.
Is the hosted version different from self-host?
Same code. Same features. Hosted just means we run the server, handle updates, and back up your data. You can switch from one to the other and bring your data with you.
What does "free for one family" actually mean?
Self-hosted Kinhold is free for a single household: your spouse, your kids, your in-laws if they're in the family group. We're not policing that. The license prevents reselling Kinhold as a multi-tenant SaaS, which protects the project and the hosted version.
Your family's operating system, ready when you are.
Try the live demo, or self-host it on the Pi sitting in your office gathering dust.
