Kigen
Family organization powered by AI. Quietly, every day.
Kigen is a family-first organization app that brings shared lists, OCR scanning, family spaces, and smart reminders into a single calm surface — so the people you live with stay in sync without a spreadsheet.
Kigen solves the small friction of running a household.
Households run on tiny pieces of information — "did we buy that?", "where is the warranty?", "when is the next check-up?". Kigen gathers those scraps in one place so anyone in the family can find them, and quietly resurfaces them when they matter.
One shared place
Lists, documents, family schedules, household notes — everything you used to spread across apps lives in Kigen.
On-device first
OCR and document parsing happen on your device. Your family's photos and information stay where they belong.
Calm by design
Notifications fire only when they actually help. Kigen earns its place on the home screen without taking your attention.
Snap a receipt — Kigen handles the rest.
Kigen's OCR reads receipts, warranties, manuals, and notices on your phone — pulling out the date, vendor, total, model number, and other useful fields — and files them so anyone in the family can search them later. The pile of paper on the kitchen counter quietly disappears.
- Works with receipts, warranties, medical cards, and instruction manuals
- Auto-extracts the date and totals the moment you snap a photo
- Runs on-device — your scans never sit on someone else's server
- Family members open the same document instantly, without forwarding
A private space for your household.
Family Spaces are a private room only your family can see. Anything added there — a list, a scanned document, a reminder — is visible to every family member in real time. Personal notes stay in your own area and never leak across.
- Invite family members and edit shared lists and documents in real time
- Personal and family areas stay cleanly separated
- Activity timeline shows who added what, without the noise of a chat thread
- Adding a new family member is a single invite link
The right ping at the right moment.
Kigen learns from the receipts and lists you keep — warranty windows, refill cadence, recurring expiries — and surfaces reminders only when they would actually help. It's the work the app does while it's closed that matters most.
- Warranty and renewal reminders fire automatically a few days before
- Household basics quietly suggest themselves before they run out
- Capped to a few notifications per day — never a barrage
- Once anyone in the family responds, the ping clears for everyone
