Maple Is Shutting Down—Here's How to Switch to Kinily

If you have been using Maple (growmaple.com) to manage your family's home, you have probably heard the news: Maple is shutting down. That means exported data, new habits, and a replacement tool—all at once. This guide makes that transition as smooth as possible.

Why Kinily is the right landing spot

Maple was built for household management: home records, tasks, calendars, and shared organization. Kinily covers the same ground and goes further with meal planning, recipes, and grocery lists—making it a natural home for everything Maple users relied on.

Step 1: Export your Maple data

Before Maple goes offline, download any data you can export—task lists, home records, appliance notes, and any documents. Save them somewhere safe (a folder in cloud storage works well) so you have a reference as you rebuild in Kinily.

Step 2: Set up your Kinily household

1. Create a free Kinily account and name your household.
2. Invite your partner and any household members—they each get their own login.
3. Add your home details: address, appliances, and any maintenance notes you want to keep.

Step 3: Rebuild your calendar

Re-enter recurring events first (school pickups, weekly practices, standing appointments), then one-off events for the next 60 days. A shared family calendar without text-message chaos becomes your household's source of truth once everyone is in.

Step 4: Move your task lists

Kinily's to-do lists support assigned owners, so each task has a clear person responsible. Recreate your recurring household tasks and assign them. See how to manage household to-dos when both parents work.

Step 5: Start meal planning

This is where Kinily goes beyond what Maple offered. Connect your weekly dinners to recipes, and let your grocery list build itself. If meal planning is new to you, this guide for busy families is the right starting point. Even stopping the nightly dinner question is worth the 10 minutes of setup.

Step 6: Run your first Sunday reset

Once your calendar, tasks, and meals are in place, establish the habit with a short Sunday reset. Twenty minutes on Sunday means a calmer Monday—and it is how Kinily households stay on top of things week after week.

What you gain by moving to Kinily

• Calendar, tasks, meals, recipes, and grocery lists in one app
• Assigned to-dos with clear ownership—not just shared lists
• Home and appliance records in the same workspace
• A modern, mobile-first design built for phones and tablets
• No worrying about another shutdown—Kinily is actively developed

You are not starting over—you are upgrading

Losing a tool you depended on is frustrating. But rebuilding in Kinily means your household ends up in a better place: one family command center where everything lives together, instead of scattered across apps.
