FAQ
Questions about the beta and the plans
What is Kincrest?
Kincrest is a family organizer for couples and kids. It holds a shared calendar, chores, meal prep, and voice commands, with money and password tools on the paid plans.
What does Free include?
Calendar, chores, invites, voice, basic meal prep, and offline mode with the biometric lock.
What do Plus and Crest add?
Plus adds two-way Google and Apple calendar sync, bills and budget, receipts, recipe import with portion scaling and grocery totals, the vault, nudges, the weekly check-in, and widgets. Crest adds taxes, benefits, the debt planner, and the AI assistant on top of Plus.
How much do I save by paying yearly?
Plus yearly is $49.99 instead of $59.88, a save of $9.89. Crest yearly is $99.99 instead of $119.88, a save of $19.89.
Can I upgrade on this website?
Yes. Upgrades are sold here. Until a Stripe Payment Link is pasted into website/config.js, each upgrade button says “Coming soon – join the beta waitlist” and does not charge you. Joining the waitlist sends an email from your own mail app.
Where do I get the app?
The Get the app button opens the beta at kincrest-beta.web.app. The beta inside the app is invite-only. This website’s contact form is how to ask for a note when upgrades open.
Does it run on iPhone and Android?
Yes. Kincrest is a web app. Open it in the browser on iPhone or Android and add it to the home screen. A household can mix both.
Does voice work on every screen?
The mic is in the bottom bar on every screen. You can speak or type. Spoken input depends on the browser; Kincrest asks you to type when speech recognition is missing.
What is the biometric lock?
App lock is a 4–6 digit PIN. Where the phone supports it, you can add Face ID, Touch ID, or fingerprint. The password vault asks for that lock before it can be set up.
Can kids see bills and passwords?
No. Kid accounts can use the calendar, chores, and meals. Bills, budget, and the password vault stay with parents. A kid who asks about money by voice is pointed to a parent.
Does Kincrest give tax or financial advice?
No. Tax tools collect receipts you tagged so you can share a list with a preparer. Budget nudges are suggestions from your own numbers. Meal planning is not medical advice, and kid accounts are not given calorie-cut or weight-loss targets.
Is the password vault encrypted?
In the beta, vault entries are encrypted on the phone before they sync, and the app describes the server copy as scrambled data. Kid accounts cannot open it. The draft privacy page is where counsel still has to review that design. This answer is a product description, not a security certification.
