Built by two founders,
not a committee.
Kinto is bootstrapped, profitable, and built by indie hackers who actually journal. No investors, no board meetings, no feature bloat — just a product we'd want to use ourselves.
Bootstrapped & built with intention.
We scratched our own itch. Two indie hackers who wanted a journaling app that respected their time and privacy — so we built one. No venture capital, no growth hacks. Just a product that earns its keep.

2 open rolesWe're growing from two to four. If you want to work directly with founders and ship fast, we'd love to hear from you.
Built with care
Every feature is something we use ourselves. If it doesn’t make journaling better, it doesn’t ship.
Private by default
End-to-end encryption from day one. We can’t read your journal — and we never will.
AI that listens
Our AI reflects back what it sees. It doesn’t prompt, nudge, or shape your thinking.
We quit our jobs, shipped an MVP in six weeks, and got our first paying customer the same month. Two years later, we’re profitable and growing — on our own terms.

Founder, Kinto
Small team, big ambition.
No layers, no middle management. Just two founders who ship fast and talk to users every day. We're growing the team — carefully.
