About
Ever looked at everything your coding agent did in a day? Kin shows you! Kin sits between your AI apps and your accounts, like GitHub, Linear, Notion and Stripe. You decide what an agent can do on its own and what needs your OK, and the OK comes to your phone or Watch while the agent waits. Every action lands in one activity log, so you see what ran, what you approved and what got blocked. It works in ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Cursor and more, and setup takes a few minutes.
There's a free plan. Lite is $9 a month, or $8 billed yearly. Pro is $19 a month, or $16 billed yearly, and you can try Pro free for 7 days with no card.

FAQ
What is Kin?
Kin sits between your AI apps and your accounts. Connect each account once, then decide what each AI app may do with it. Each action runs, waits for your approval, or stops at Kin, by your rules.
Which AI apps work with Kin?
Claude, Claude Code, ChatGPT, Codex, Cursor and any other AI app that can add a remote MCP server. They all use the same Kin address and follow the same rules. ChatGPT needs a plan or workspace that lets you add a custom MCP server, and paying for Kin doesn't change that. Add Kin to your AI apps
Can an AI app get around Kin?
Not around your rules. Kin checks them on its own server before each call reaches your account, and AI apps never hold the sign-ins. Kin governs only the actions that go through it. What an app reaches on its own, like an account connected in the app itself or a coding agent's access to your computer, follows that app's controls. To keep an account behind your rules, connect it only through Kin and remove it from the AI app's own connections.
Who holds my keys, and what does Kin keep?
Kin holds them, encrypted, and uses a sign-in only for the calls your rules allow. Remove an AI app and its access ends at once, with any requests it left waiting. What Kin holds lists everything Kin stores and for how long.
Why not connect accounts in my AI app?
An account connected there works in that one app: you sign in again in every app, and each asks permission its own way. With Kin you connect once and set rules once, asks wait in one place, and one record shows what each app did. Switch AI apps any time. Your connections and rules stay, and a new app follows the rules you already set. If you use one AI app and its own controls are enough, you may not need Kin.
Can I keep clients apart?
Yes. Put each client's accounts in a profile of their own. An AI app you add with a profile's address reaches only that profile's accounts. How profiles work
Can my team use it?
Yes. Team gives your company one workspace for its connections and members, with one bill for every seat. Start a team , or talk to us about Enterprise.
What if I cancel?
Cancel anytime in Settings, under Workspace and plan. Cancel during the free trial and you are never charged. Cancelling deletes nothing: your connections, rules and activity history stay, and the Free plan's limits apply.
