Your family’s day, in one chat.
Tell Kio anything, the way you’d text it. Kio puts it in the right place and reminds the right person at the right time.
- “dentist for Mia Thursday 4pm”
- “pay PG&E by the 15th”
- “milk and eggs from Costco”
- “swim for Leo Saturday 11”
How it works
Three steps, and you’re done thinking about it.
Tell Kio
Type it like a message to a friend. Day, time, place and person can all be in one line, in any order.
Kio sorts it
Appointments go to Health, bills to Bills, groceries to the list for that store. If something is unclear, Kio asks one short question.
The right person hears about it
Kio reminds whoever it’s for: you, your partner, or the grown-up looking after a child. Once, not three times.
What Kio keeps track of
Everything a family juggles, on one Home screen.
Each kind of thing gets its own tile with a clean list and a checkbox. Overdue things turn red, today’s turn amber, done things go quiet.
One chat
No forms and no menus. Kio works out the day, the time and who it’s for, and shows you what it saved so you can fix it in a tap.
Family & friends
Activities, appointments and to-dos for everyone at home, in cards by kind. Friends’ plans sit next to them.
Health
Medicines with dose reminders, checkups that are due, and doctor visits for every person in the family, in one place.
Bills
Due dates with a reminder before each one. Tick it when it’s paid and it moves to Paid.
Grocery lists
One shared list, sorted by store. Kio learns where your family buys what: Costco, Patel Brothers, Target.
Calendar & summaries
Your week at a glance, a morning summary of today, and an evening summary at 8 PM of what’s coming tomorrow.
Made for real families
One household, wherever everyone is.
- Start a family, invite with a codeSend the invite by WhatsApp or Messages. It works for 7 days.
- Kids don’t need a phoneAdd them by name. Their swim class and dentist visits remind the grown-ups instead.
- Grandparents abroad, tooFamily in another country joins the same household and sees the same plans.
- Your chats stay yoursFamily sees the shared plans, never your private chats with Kio.
An example family
Mia’s swim moved to 11. I told Anna.
Mia has no phone, so her reminders go to a parent.
Swim
If Anna changes the time, this page changes too.
Share a plan
Friends don’t need the app.
Every item has a share button. Family on Kio get it in their Kio. Friends get a link by WhatsApp, Messages or email that opens a simple page: the title, the day and time, and buttons for their calendar. No sign-up.
The page shows only the plan and your first name, nothing else from your Kio.
Coming next
Less typing, more done for you.
Gmail
Connect your Gmail and Kio finds the bills, appointments and bookings in your email, then asks before adding them. You can disconnect it any time.
Your bank accounts
Connect a bank through Plaid to see balances, spending and upcoming bills next to your reminders. Kio never sees your bank password and can’t move money.
Your family’s things stay yours
- No ads. Kio never sells your information or tracks you across other apps.
- Lock Kio with Face ID, so a borrowed phone doesn’t show your family’s plans.
- Stored on Google Cloud in the United States, encrypted in transit and at rest.
- Delete your account and data from inside the app, any time.
Questions
Good to know
Does everyone in the family need Kio?
No. Kio reminds whoever has it. Children and others without a phone can be added by name, and friends get plans by link.
Which phones does Kio work on?
iPhone, first. We’re testing with families now through Apple’s TestFlight, and Kio comes to the App Store after that.
Do I have to word things a certain way?
No. Write it the way you’d text a friend: “dentist for Mia Thursday 4pm”, “Mia dentist thu 4”, or “Thursday at 4, Mia has the dentist”. If Kio isn’t sure, it asks.
Can my family see everything I add?
They see the plans you add for the family. Your chats with Kio, your settings and any bank connection stay yours.
