HiKind
Our Journey

Building a safer space for self-understanding

HiKind was born from a simple belief: everyone deserves accessible, understanding, and personalized support on their journey to self-discovery.

Where it all began

The journey to create HiKind started when we recognized a critical gap in support services for people seeking to understand themselves better. While professional services exist, the waiting times can be lengthy, and during this time, individuals and families often feel without clear guidance or support.

We spoke with dozens of individuals, families, professionals, and volunteers. The same themes emerged repeatedly: the need for better self-tracking tools, accessible supportive guidance, safe community connections, and meaningful self-discovery resources that could provide clarity and understanding.

We realized that technology could bridge this gap—not to replace professionals, but to empower people to better understand themselves and connect with the right support at the right time.

Our mission and values

Everything we build is guided by these core principles

Empathy First
We design every feature with deep understanding of diverse experiences. Our platform is gentle, clear, and respectful of individual needs and preferences.
Evidence-Based
Our reflections use established frameworks and follow recognized guidelines. We work with professionals to ensure meaningful and helpful insights.
Community-Driven
We actively listen to our community. User feedback shapes our roadmap, and we're committed to building features that truly matter to those we serve.
Accessible & Inclusive
HiKind is free to start and designed to be accessible to everyone. We believe quality support shouldn't be limited by financial barriers.

What makes HiKind different

Designed by experts, informed by experience

Our platform combines professional expertise with lived experience. We work closely with specialists and, most importantly, members of our community to ensure every feature is both thoughtful and truly helpful.

Comprehensive yet simple

We offer meaningful reflections, mood tracking, AI support, community connections, and comfortable space discovery—all in one place. But we keep the interface clean, clear, and welcoming. No overwhelming menus or confusing navigation.

Privacy and safety by design

Your data is yours. We use industry-standard encryption, never share your information without explicit permission, and give you complete control over what you share and with whom. Our Befriend chat system doesn't require personal information, ensuring safe connections.

Supporting the full journey

Whether you're exploring your traits, managing wellbeing, connecting with professionals, or finding community support, HiKind adapts to where you are in your journey. We're here for the long term—not just for a single reflection or appointment.

Our commitment to you

We're constantly improving HiKind based on feedback from our community. Our roadmap includes enhanced tracking features, connections with more support providers, expanded volunteer training programs, and improved AI capabilities—all designed to better serve you.

Thank you for being part of our journey. Together, we're building a safer, more understanding space for everyone seeking clarity and self-understanding.
