Let your AIs run free. Kin keeps them in check. Connect GitHub, Gmail or Stripe once, add Kin to ChatGPT, Claude or Cursor, and give each action a rule: Allow, Ask me or Block. Ask me waits for your OK on the web or your phone.
So here's why... I use a bunch of different AIs every day and I got really frustrated. I was constantly context switching between them, there was no coordination, every app handled approvals differently, and I was worried about things going out under my name without me knowing.
So I built one place for all of it, and that's Kin. It sits between my AIs and my accounts. I connect GitHub, Gmail and Stripe once, add Kin to every AI app, and give each action a rule: Allow, Ask me or Block.
I use it daily for my own work. All my AIs go through it, they can pick up each other's work, and when a new AI comes out it gets my accounts under the rules I already set. Nothing goes through Kin under my name unless my rules allow it or I approve it from my phone. And my AIs never see my passwords or keys. Kin keeps them encrypted.
And it's bigger than approvals. I can let my AIs run free and know Kin keeps them in check, and no single lab owns my setup anymore.
I'm really excited to get this in front of people, so let me know what you think and what you'd want it to do next.
This is the part of agent tooling I keep coming back to: every app handling approvals differently, and nothing going out under your name without you knowing. The detail that stood out to me is that a blocked action gives the agent a clear answer instead of a silent failure, so it can tell you or find another way instead of looping. Same with versioned actions — if a provider changes a schema, the old rule shouldn't quietly keep applying. Having one place to pause everything at once feels like the missing layer.
Allow, Ask, and Block is clear; the policy lifecycle is where these systems get hard. What happens when an app changes an action schema or expands its permissions after approval? I’d want schema-change re-quarantine plus a diff of the new fields before the old rule can apply again.
Looks cool. Do I understand correctly that it's kind of like a layer of fine grained tokens on GitHub but for any app?
hope today brings you good first users. my agents run on auto nearly all the time, so Block matters most to me. does the agent get told why it was blocked?

Who hunted Kin?
Kin was hunted by Troy Fortin Jr.. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it. Hunters typically write the first comment explaining why a product is worth attention, and their followers are notified the moment they post. Around 79% of featured launches on Product Hunt are self-hunted by their makers, but a well-known hunter still acts as a signal of quality to the rest of the community.
