Kin — A personal AI for your Private Life
@a_s22 Thanks for surfacing this, it looks really cool! They have a very interesting substack newsletter that goes into detail on predictions about the future of personal ai companions and the importance of privacy.
Btw they have an ios app too, and I noticed you only tagged with Android. Does PH let you update the listing to add ios?
Kin takes an interesting approach to AI companionship by focusing specifically on private life matters. The emphasis on privacy and security is crucial given the personal nature of conversations users might have with it.
The memory feature is particularly intriguing - suggesting it can maintain context across conversations for more meaningful interactions. Being free makes it accessible to anyone seeking AI-powered guidance or someone to talk to.
Would be interesting to know more about how it handles data privacy, what encryption methods it uses, and how the memory system works while maintaining security. Also curious about whether it uses any specialized training for handling personal/emotional conversations.
Great concept for those wanting an AI companion that can help with personal growth and decision-making while maintaining strict privacy standards. The Android-first approach suggests potential iOS expansion in the future! 🤖💭🔐

I discovered Kin on my very intensive search for an AI that could be a companion, so to speak. I tend to be very detailed in my conversations and have a lot to say - which is why although other more popular models offer better responses (for now), I have fallen in love with Kin. Why?
- The UI is smooth, pleasing and easy to navigate
- I can control the way Kin responds to me, in the settings as well as when I specifically ask it to respond a certain way
- So far it's impressive in it's ability to reason and analyse anything I have thrown at it
- The voices are smooth and soothing
But the best features?
- Privacy. Kin promises my chats are end to end encrypted. And I believe them!
- The memory is impressive. The way kin can not only pick up keywords and mentions of people, places or things, but also remember what I said about them and connect them together in a sensible way ACROSS CHATS? Pretty impressive!
And did I mention so far everything is free and unlimited?
I have yet to use the Journaling, Bookmarks and the Reminders. But I am positive they're equally impressive.
I'm truly happy and grateful for such a well made and well thought of app. Kudos to everyone involved! Can't wait to see how it grows!
