01 · What it's for
Weekend hiking in small groups, starting in London.
We're starting with one thing: small-group Saturday hikes in and around London. Not dating, not networking. You tell Kindoru your pace and when you're free; your assistant finds a group at your pace, agrees the trailhead and time with the other assistants, and reschedules if it rains. You decide whether to join.
In development. Scam screening and account checks are experimental and cannot guarantee someone is trustworthy. Contact details are never shared unless you choose to.
02 · You stay in control
You approve every introduction and choose which contact details to share.
1
2
You review each suggestion
See why someone was suggested, then accept or decline. Declining is private and ends the introduction.
3
You choose what to share
Screening alone never authorises sharing. Each person must explicitly approve which contact details to share.
What a suggested connection can see
- Your first name or a nickname
- Your hiking pace
- Your general area (e.g. "near London")
- Rough availability (e.g. "weekend mornings")
Never your contact details, until both of you approve the introduction and each of you chooses what to share.
Account checks: one passkey per account, plus device signals (being tested). Scam-pattern screening is also experimental. Neither guarantees someone is trustworthy.
03 · Status
In development. No users yet.
Our experimental scam screening currently flags scams too late to protect anyone, so we don't rely on it for safety. Method, results and limitations.
04 · Who runs Kindoru
Accountable, and small.
Kindoru is run by an independent founder in early development; the legal entity will be named before any public launch. Waitlist data is held on Netlify (USA) and used only to contact you about Kindoru; email hello@kindoru.com to delete it.

05 · Questions
Short answers.
What is the "assistant"?
Software that acts on your instructions: you tell it what kind of person and activity you're looking for, and it suggests introductions for you to review. It doesn't accept or share anything on your behalf.
Does my assistant ever give out my number?
Not on its own. Screening alone never authorises sharing. Each person must explicitly approve which contact details to share. If you don't approve, nothing is shared.
Will it stop every scam?
No. Our screening is experimental and, as our published results show, currently misses many scams or flags them late. Never send money to someone you haven't met.
How do you check accounts?
One passkey per account, plus device signals (being tested). This doesn't prove someone is a unique person, so we make no such guarantee.
When and where does it launch?
London first, and only London for now. No date yet. Waitlist members hear first, and we'll ask them about early tests.
What do you do with my email?
Only contact you about Kindoru. It's held on Netlify (USA); email hello@kindoru.com to delete it. See the privacy notice.
