Understand them, make them better, and get help when you need it.
Why we built it
Relationships shape a life. Many of them are hard.
What published research says about how many of us are struggling with the people in our lives.

Who it's for
Most of the relationships that weigh on us weren't chosen.
Others we did choose and still can't get right.
Some of the strongest attachments in a life are to people who don't know we exist. Kithmark helps with your side of it.
What Kithmark does
Inside the app
What Kithmark can do
It never tells you what a person is. It helps you understand what's going on between you.
Start where it hurts
Something is hard, you want to be closer, you want a practitioner, or you need help now. Pick one.
One short question at a time
Tezo learns how your family is arranged, in the words your family uses. Skip anything.
Write it down in two short steps
Who it was with, then what happened, in your own words.
See the pattern
What keeps repeating, what might be underneath it, and one thing to try next. Shown in words, never scores.
Your family, the way it's arranged
A family map drawn from what you tell it. It never labels anyone.
Everyone, not just family
Friends, work and the people you follow, all in one view.
Better together, when you both want it
A shared space opens only when both people choose to join. Games to play, and a calmer way to talk about hard things.
You both add each other by email. There's no open search.
The shared space sits beside your private record. It doesn't replace it.
Ask Glosa
Glosa answers from Kithmark's own material, never the open web.
Help, the moment you need it
Kithmark isn't a replacement for professional help. When something needs more, it says so and points you to real help.

Built to protect you
Your record belongs to you.
The mark
Every orbit, and you at the center
Every ring is a different kind of relationship: family, friends, the people you work with, even the people you only follow. The small dots are the people in them, each in their own orbit.
The red dot at the center is you. It's red for blood, because blood is thicker than water.
