You tell the story. Kiko writes it down.

The conversation

Nenrin is one continuous conversation with Kiko, split into sittings. You can type, or tap the microphone and talk; what you say is transcribed and the audio is discarded. A sitting can be five minutes or an hour. When you come back after a few hours away, a new sitting opens and Kiko picks up where the story left off.

Kiko's job is narrow on purpose. It asks specific questions ("What do you remember about the house in those last months?"), it reflects your words back so you can check them, and it files what you say. It does not tell you what any of it means. If you want to start with your childhood, or with last week, or with one person, you can; there is no script you have to follow, and there are no streaks, nags, or daily check-ins.

What gets filed, and the receipt

When you say something that belongs in the record, Kiko files it and shows you a receipt in the conversation: what was added, where it went, and the words it used, which are yours. You can keep it, change it, or undo it on the spot. Nothing is filed silently, and nothing is filed in words you did not say.

What the record holds

• Lifeline. The moments that mattered, placed in time. Each one carries a rating from minus five to plus five that you chose. Kiko may ask whether a moment sounded like a certain strength; that estimate sits as a hollow, dashed mark and counts for nothing until you keep it or change it.
• Life chapters. The eras you name for yourself ("The lake years", "Portland"), the bands a reader can see at a glance.
• Life Log. Everything you have told Kiko, in your own words, cleaned from speech into written sentences. The cleanup can only punctuate and delete; it never adds or changes a word.
• People. The family and relationship map: who was there in each chapter, and how they are connected to you.
• Values and a Wheel of Life. Filled in by hand, with no AI involved.
• North Star. A document in your words about the life you want.
• Insights. When you say "I just realized" something, the line is recorded verbatim, timestamped, and linked to the people and moments it names.
• Tools, if you want them. An Enneagram self-report, a Johari Window (friends rate you through a link, no login needed), a place for test results you enter yourself, and an action plan. Each one is yours to turn on or leave off.

You can read the whole record at any time, edit any line by hand, and export all of it as a zip of Markdown and JSON.

Sharing, if you choose

Nothing is shared by default. If you are in therapy, you can connect your therapist and choose what they can read, category by category. They see it on screen, read-only, and cannot download or export anything. Before a session, Nenrin can publish a short summary of what is new in the categories you share, in your words, with each line cited to where it came from. You can see when your therapist last looked, and you can stop sharing at any time. More on this.

Your own AI, if you have one

Nenrin can hand your record to an AI you already use, read-only, through a standard connection (MCP). It can read your record; it cannot change anything.

What Nenrin is not

Nenrin is not therapy, and Kiko is not a therapist. It is not a journal with prompts, not a habit app, and not a crisis service. It is not monitored. If you are in crisis, call or text 988 in the US, or your local emergency number. If Kiko hears something worrying, it shows one fixed card with those resources and does not tell anyone.
