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.
- Add Avatar: Click the avatar area to select from your gallery. If no avatar is set, the app will display an elegant “checkerboard” placeholder texture.
- 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.”
- Physical Sorting: Use the sort buttons on the home page to adjust positions. Card displacement follows Spring elastic dynamics, making it smooth and stress-relieving.
- Smart Buttons: Sorting buttons automatically hide based on position (e.g., the top item doesn’t show an up button) to keep the interface clean.
🛠️ Settings and Advanced Features
1. Data Backup and Restore (Important)
KinTime uses a brand-new 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}.zipwill 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 will be prioritized.
- Cross-platform Interoperability: This backup package can be imported directly into the iOS version of KinTime.
2. Unlock Premium
KinTime natively contains no third-party ads, providing a pure initial experience.
- Unlock Member Limits: The default version supports basic member records. Go to “Settings” -> “Unlock Premium” to remove member count limits.
- One-time Purchase: Complete a one-time payment through the Google Play billing system to permanently unlock infinite member expansion capabilities.
3. Global Experience
- Multi-language Switching: The app is deeply adapted to 17 global languages. You can switch at any time in “Settings” -> “Language.”
🔒 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.
