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.

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.

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.
