KinTime User Manual

Welcome to KinTime. This manual will guide you on how to make the most of this family time tracking tool focused on privacy, aesthetics, and performance.

🚀 Quick Start

1. Add Family Members

  • Click the + button at the bottom right of the main interface.
  • Basic Information: Enter name and relationship.
  • Date of Birth: Precisely select the birth year, month, day, hour, and minute. The app features “future-proof” validation logic, preventing the selection of dates beyond the current moment.
  • Avatar with Gesture Cropper & Path Normalization: Click the avatar area to select a photo from your gallery. The built-in ImageCropperView supports pinch-to-zoom, drag-to-pan, and one-tap reset. Robust avatar path normalization ensures current avatars load accurately even across sandbox and platform migrations. If no avatar is set, the app displays an elegant checkerboard placeholder.
  • After saving, your real-time timing card will appear on the home screen with a cascading animation.

2. View and Sort

  • Detailed Statistics: Click a card to view multi-dimensional statistics of “1 lifespan + 4 cumulative metrics.”
  • Refined Micro Reorder Buttons & 44pt Touch Targets: Reorder controls are designed as 24pt/24dp micro-sized, subtle glass circles that preserve the focus on your photos, backed by 44pt/44dp expanded touch hit areas for effortless one-handed control.
  • Gesture Decoupling & Freeze Prevention: Physically decoupled from double-tap editing gestures, eliminating accidental editor triggers and button lockup during rapid reordering.
  • Fluid Spring Transitions: Natural physics-based Spring animations deliver a silky, tactile glide when cards exchange positions.
  • Intelligent Baseline Alignment: Cards without custom names feature intelligent baseline spacing to maintain a balanced, tidy layout.

🛠️ Settings and Advanced Features

1. In-Place Quota Unlock (Premium)

KinTime natively contains no third-party ads, providing a pure initial experience.

  • Free Quota & In-Place Unlock: The free version supports 1 member. When adding more members on the home screen, an in-place “Unlock Now” dialog appears to invoke StoreKit 2 (iOS) or Google Play Billing directly, without navigating to Settings.
  • One-time Purchase: Complete a one-time purchase through official app store billing to permanently unlock unlimited members.

2. Data Backup and Restore (Important)

KinTime uses a standardized ZIP export mechanism to ensure data security and cross-platform interoperability.

  • Export Backup: Go to “Settings” -> “Export Backup.” A file named kintime-v{version}-{date}.zip will be generated.
  • Restore Data: Click “Restore Data” and select the backup package. The app features a conflict merger mechanism: if IDs are the same but content differs, the local version is prioritized.
  • Cross-platform Interoperability: Backup packages can be seamlessly migrated and imported between iOS and Android.

3. Email Support & More Apps

  • Email Support: Tap “Email Support” in Settings to launch your mail client addressed to [email protected]. It automatically formats the subject line with your version and build code (e.g., KinTime Email Support [V1.3 (2610.3201)]).
  • More Apps: Tap “More Apps” to visit the developer profile on the App Store or Google Play and discover more tools.

4. Global Experience & Dynamic Routing

  • Multi-language Switching: The app is deeply adapted to 17 global languages. Switch at any time in “Settings” -> “Language.”
  • Online Help & Privacy Routing: Tapping “Online Help” or “Privacy Policy” dynamically directs you to the corresponding language webpage on our official website.

🔒 Privacy and Security

  • 100% Offline: All your data (text and images) is stored locally on your phone. It is never uploaded to the cloud, completely eliminating the risk of privacy leaks.
  • Empty State Design: If no members have been added, the app displays a soft blue-style empty state to guide you to start recording.
