Kennit

Learn names, remember faces

Free

Put a name to every face. Kennit turns photos of the people in your life into flashcards, and a few minutes a day into names you actually remember. Kennit helps you learn people's names — and actually remember them. Make a deck for anyone you need to know: a new team, a class, a club, a congregation, your partner's enormous family. Add a photo and Kennit turns it into a card. Review a few cards a day and the names stay put. HOW IT WORKS Kennit shows you a face and asks who it is. Answer in your head, tap to reveal, then say whether you got it. Names you find hard come back quickly. Names you know come back later, then later still, until you simply know them. That is spaced repetition, and it beats staring at a list of names over and over. WHAT YOU CAN PUT ON A CARD • Photos — as many as you like, because people look different in different settings • How the name is said, recorded in your own voice • A note: where you met, what they do, anything that helps it stick • A birthday • Relationships — who is whose sister, manager, neighbour or dog Kennit understands that people come in groups. Tell it that two people are siblings and it records both sides of that. Family pages show you a household at a glance. PETS COUNT Pets get cards too, with the same photos and notes. Remembering the dog's name is half of remembering the neighbour's. FOR FAMILIES AND CLASSROOMS Kennit is a good fit for children. A young child learning aunts, uncles and cousins is doing exactly what the app is built for, and the review loop is two buttons — you either got it or you didn't. Teachers can build a deck of a new class from the roster photos and know every name by the end of the first week. FREE DECKS TO PRACTISE ON Kennit comes with decks of US presidents and classic authors, and there are more to download free: painted author portraits, and map decks for the US and Mexican states where you see the map and name the place. No purchase, no subscription. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Photos of the people in your life are about as personal as data gets, so Kennit is built to never hold them. There is no account and no sign-up. There is no Kennit server. Your decks live on your device and sync through your own private iCloud account, so they reach your iPhone, iPad and Mac and nowhere else. The developer cannot see them. There are no ads, no analytics, and no third-party code of any kind. You can turn iCloud sync off entirely and keep everything on one device. SHARING, IF YOU WANT IT Export a deck as a file and send it however you like. Sharing a deck sends the cards, never your review history — how well you know a face is yours alone. Decks can be locked so they open only in Kennit, or protected with a share code you choose, one you can say out loud. ONE APP ON EVERY DEVICE iPhone, iPad and Mac, with your decks in step across all three.
