Kin is a family networking app that allows users to share life events and media with family while keeping different aspects of their online identities separate. It enables users to interact with family members near and far through shared photos, videos, and updates on a personalized profile page for each family member. Notifications alert users to upcoming birthdays and events for easy family communication and coordination.
