Made for centres still doing it by hand

If your day runs on registers, scribblers and WhatsApp groups, Kindi was built for you.

📚 The paper way

  • Attendance scribbled in a register and totalled by hand
  • Daily notes lost in bags or never reaching parents
  • Fees chased on paper and hard to reconcile
  • Photos and updates scattered across WhatsApp groups
  • Records pile up in folders — slow to find, easy to lose

✨ The Kindi way

  • Mark the whole class present in a few taps
  • Daily reports reach every parent instantly
  • Invoices sent and tracked automatically
  • Photos and messages in one safe, private place
  • Every record searchable and safely backed up

Questions, answered

Switching from paper is easier than you think.

We're not very tech-savvy. Is Kindi hard to learn?
No. If your team can use WhatsApp, they can use Kindi. Marking attendance or sending a daily report each take a few taps — and you can be up and running the same day.
Do we have to capture all our children first?
You can add a child in a minute — a name, a class and a parent's contact is enough to start. Add medical details, photos and the rest whenever it suits you.
Do parents need smartphones?
Parents can use the free Kindi app on iOS or Android, or open everything in any web browser. Attendance, daily reports, photos and invoices reach them automatically.
Is our information safe?
Yes. Kindi is built with South Africa's POPIA in mind: your centre's data is private to you, securely stored, and you can export or delete it at any time. See our Privacy Policy.
What does it cost?
Free for up to 10 children. Paid plans start at R15 per child per month for unlimited children. Every plan begins with a 14-day free trial — no credit card required.
What if we want our records back?
Your data is always yours. You can export it whenever you like — there is no lock-in.
