The People tab lists everyone. A card holds facts (pin the important ones), dates, journal and tags. Import from contacts brings names, photos and birthdays.

The button on a card. Right after a meeting jot down what you talked about and what to ask next time — it surfaces before the next meeting.

Birthdays and anniversaries repeat yearly; choose how many days before to be reminded. Notifications are local — no servers.

Set a personal cadence per person (week, month…) and Kinfolio nudges you when they haven't heard from you.

Full-text across names, facts and notes: try "who snowboards?". Works properly with Ukrainian.

Turn it on in Settings: an hour before a calendar meeting you get a push with who it is, their pinned facts and what you wanted to ask.

End-to-end encrypted through your own iCloud or Google Drive. Turning it on shows a 12-word recovery phrase once — write it down; a second device needs it to read your data.

An encrypted backup is one password-protected file that restores anywhere. JSON/CSV export is open data — and Import loads the same formats back, so you can prepare everything in a spreadsheet.

"Tell about this person" turns free text into facts, notes and dates with a preview; "3 topics" prepares you for a meeting. Use your own Anthropic/OpenAI key or the Kinfolio server.

Add a photo from camera or gallery on the edit screen. Photos stay on device and travel inside encrypted backups and sync.

Link people (partner, colleague, who introduced whom) on the card and view the graph.

On your device. With sync on — also in your own iCloud/Drive, encrypted so only your devices can read it.

Turn on sync and enter the recovery phrase on the new device, or restore from an encrypted backup file.

Data on your devices is safe. Turn sync off and on again to get a new phrase, then reconnect other devices with it.

Check that notifications are allowed for Kinfolio in system settings, and that dates or keep-in-touch cadences are set.

With your own API key you pay your provider directly (fractions of a cent per request). The Kinfolio server option will be part of Pro.

Settings → Import. JSON takes the "Export to JSON" format: records merge by id, re-importing the same file duplicates nothing, and a minimal hand-made file with just a display_name per person works too. CSV uses the same columns as the CSV export — export once as a template, fill it in a spreadsheet, import. Tags are separated by ";", facts are "kind (label): value", dates are "Title: --07-12" (no year = repeats yearly).
