Kindred is a weekly couples check-in app. Answer the same questions independently, reveal your answers together, and make commitments for the week ahead. Then Kindred brings those commitments back — so the things you mean to do actually happen.
One of you opens Kindred and the other gets a notification. You both hold a button at the same time — same room, same moment. The whole check-in takes about 15–20 minutes.
You each answer the same questions on your own screen — a mix of ratings and open-ended reflections about your week, your connection, and what's ahead. Your partner can't see your answers until you're both done.
Answers appear side by side, simultaneously. No editing after the fact. Where your ratings differ by a lot, the app highlights it.
After the reveal, you decide together: what to do this week, what to keep doing, and what to let go of. You can create tasks (one-off things to do) and habits (ongoing things to keep up). Kindred brings them all back next week for review.
Each check-in moves through four themes. Some questions return every week so you can see how things shift. Others rotate in over time, so each check-in feels a bit different.
How you're each doing individually — energy, stress, and what's weighing on you.
How close you felt this week — appreciation, quality time, and being present with each other.
How you handled the hard stuff — disagreements, tension, and anything unresolved.
What you each need in the week ahead — requests, priorities, and intentions.
22 questions in total across the four batches. A typical check-in covers about 13 — the rest rotate in over time.
Tasks you said you'd do. Habits you're working on. They live on your home screen all week. When the next check-in starts, Kindred asks: done, keep going, or let go?
Something comes up mid-week that you want to bring to the check-in? Write it down. General notes are there when you sit down together and cleared after each check-in.
Every past check-in is saved — your answers and your partner's, side by side. Nothing gets edited after the fact. It's an honest record of how things have been, week to week.
Your answers, side by side, unedited. No relationship health scores. No advice or interpretation. No streaks or badges. Kindred shows you what each of you actually said — what you do with it is yours.
You'll get a notification when your partner starts a check-in, and an optional mid-week reminder about your commitments. Both can be turned off. One subscription covers both of you.
You care about your relationship. You talk about what needs to change. But life happens, and the things you mean to do slip through the cracks — not from lack of effort, but from lack of structure.
Kindred is that structure. A 15–20 minute weekly relationship check-in that gives those conversations somewhere to go.
Kindred is designed for couples who can sit down together. You do it at the same time, side by side. Both partners need the app installed on their iPhone.
Both plans are billed through the App Store. You can cancel any time in your iPhone settings.
No free trial — but the app has an interactive demo you can try before signing up.
A weekly check-in — same questions, honest answers, and commitments you'll actually come back to.
