Adding notes, photos, and documents
Kin keeps your notes, photos, and documents alongside your visits, so everything for one person lives in one place.
Where can I add things?
There are two places:
- From the Records tab, tap Add a note, photo, or file at the top. You can type a note, attach a photo or file, or record audio yourself.
- On a specific visit, open the visit and use the Notes field for typed notes, or the Attachments section for photos and files.
What can I attach?
When you add an attachment you'll see these options:
- Camera — take a photo right then
- Photos — choose from your photo library
- Files — choose a document from your phone
- Record — record audio yourself (Records tab only)
Kin accepts photos (JPEG, PNG, HEIC, GIF), PDFs, CSV and plain text files, and audio files. If a file is too big, Kin will tell you the size limit.
Can I add my lab results or medical records?
Yes. Take a photo of them, or attach a PDF you already have. They'll show up in that person's Records timeline next to their visits.
One thing to know: the Camera option takes one photo at a time. For a multi-page document, use your phone's own scanning app to make a PDF first, then attach it with Files.
How do I record audio myself?
From the Records tab, tap Add a note, photo, or file, then tap Record. Tap Stop when you're finished. It saves as "Recording" with the time.
This is a recording you make yourself. It's separate from recording a visit, and Kin doesn't turn it into a visit summary.
Can I add things to someone else's records?
Only if you manage their profile. If you have view-only access, you'll see View only and won't be able to add notes or attachments.
Can I edit a note after I save it?
No. A standalone note you add from the Records tab can't be edited after you leave its composer. To correct it, open the note in Records, tap Delete note, then add a new note with the corrected text. You need to manage that profile to delete the note or add a replacement.
