How kordi works

Tap Spark an idea, then talk or type. kordi drafts a title for you and suggests alternatives. Say whether you're offering something (teaching guitar basics) or looking for something (a pickup game), and pick who sees it: everyone, just friends, or certain groups.

See a spark you like? Tap I'm In. You can add a private note that only the person who posted it sees. On sparks inside a group, you can answer In, Maybe, or Pass.

As people join in, a spark builds momentum, with milestones at 5, 10, and 20 interested. A spark that doesn't catch on quietly fades after 14 days, with a countdown in its final two days. No guilt. Ideas are allowed to just be ideas.

When enough people are in, convert the spark into an event, a group, a Relay assist, or a guide session with one tap. Everyone who showed interest comes along.

Post sparks inside a group so the whole crew sees them. Sports teams get ready-made quick starts like "Post-game dinner" and "Carpool to practice". You can give your own spark one gentle re-ask a day, or nudge a friend to float an idea of their own.

Tell kordi your goal ("run a 5K by June") and it suggests milestones you can edit or replace. Keep a goal solo (only you see it), with friends (you and the friends you have added), or public (anyone signed in to kordi).

Write or dictate a quick note about what you did. Your milestones drive the progress bar: check one off and the bar moves. If your note clearly says you finished a milestone, kordi shows it already checked so one Save records it. Uncheck anything and kordi learns to stop suggesting it.

Did something your plan didn't cover? kordi offers to add it as a new milestone. Always unchecked, always your call.

Want a little skin in the game? Pledge some of your own kordi points to your goal. It raises the stakes just enough to make showing up easier.

Friends can put their own points behind your goal to show they believe in you. They can even pre-commit an amount on your profile before you've set a goal, so there's no awkward ask. Inviting them later applies what they already offered.

You declare success. kordi never marks a goal done for you. At 80% you're in the success zone, and anything past your plan is bonus territory. When you celebrate, the pledged pool pays out: you keep most of it and your backers share the rest.

Letting go of a goal is allowed too. Your own pledged points are forfeited, and your backers get most of theirs returned. Below 80% isn't failure. It's on the journey.

Showing up regularly builds a streak you'll see on Home and your widgets. And when your logging outpaces your plan, a quiet card offers a one-tap review of your milestones. Say "Not now" and it stays quiet for two weeks.

Talk or type what you need: "Can someone grab my mail this week?" kordi sorts it into one of 14 categories, from errands, rides, and pet help to snow removal and wellness checks, and sets how urgent it is.

See what people near you need and step up for the ones you can do. An Ask works a little differently: it's an open question where several people can chime in with advice.

Afterward, rate how it went, both ways. If someone really came through, send a thank-you tip in kordi points. Help on Relay is always free or appreciation-welcome, never paid in dollars.

Show up to events you committed to. Host plans and wrap them up. Hit milestones and celebrate goals. Help a neighbor through Relay. Guide a learner. Refer friends and local businesses. Different actions earn different amounts, and your full history is always visible: every point in, every point out.

Earning is capped each day per activity (for example, up to 500 points a day from event attendance) so points stay meaningful and nobody can game the system.

Browse perks from local businesses and redeem with points. You get a 6-character code good for 7 days. Show it at the counter. That's it.

Send points to a friend with a personal note, for a birthday, a thank-you, or just because. If they don't claim the gift, it comes back to you. You can even gift someone who isn't on kordi yet, and they claim it on the web.

Share your invite code or link, and when a friend joins and enters it, you both earn points once their new account passes a short waiting period. Know a business that belongs on kordi? Request it and vote for the ones your community wants most. You earn points for requesting and for voting.

Daily Pulse widgets put your streak, next event, and goal progress on your home screen, and on the iPhone lock screen too. The Daily Motivation widget rotates a fresh quote every 6 hours. Widget buttons let you RSVP, accept an invite, or check off a goal step without opening the app (iOS 17 and later, and Android).

Say "Hey Siri, draft an event in kordi", answer one question, and the draft is waiting for you. Long-press the kordi icon for quick actions: plan an event, spark an idea, set a goal. On iOS 18 and later, add the kordi button to Control Center for one-tap capture.

Two more Siri phrases: "What's next in kordi" reads your next event, goal focus, and streak out loud, and "Log progress in kordi" dictates straight into your featured goal, no app open.

An hour before your event, a countdown appears on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island (iOS 16.2 and later). When the event starts it flips to Happening now, and it clears itself a few hours later. It shows the title and the countdown, nothing more.

Someone texts "dinner Friday at 7?" Highlight the text in any app, tap Share, choose Create kordi event, and confirm the draft. In iMessage, open kordi from the app drawer to drop an interactive invite card into the thread; guests without kordi can RSVP from the web.

kordi is smart about what you capture: "ran 3 miles" opens your goal log pre-filled, and "who's up for a hike?" drafts a spark. Want matching texts handed to kordi automatically? See the two-minute Text kordi setup.

On Android, kordi invite links open straight in the app, and a long-press on the icon offers the same quick actions.

Press and hold an invite notification to answer Going or Can't go on the spot. Goal nudges include a quick text box to log progress without opening the app. Ten notification categories each have their own switch, plus quiet hours when you want them.

Subscribe to your kordi events from Apple Calendar, Google Calendar, or a family display like Skylight. It works on devices that don't have kordi at all, covers your coming months, and offers a feed per group. Regenerate or remove your link any time.

Connect your own AI assistant, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code or Cursor, and let it read your kordi world and make changes only for you. Assistants that need a sign-in flow, such as ChatGPT and Claude on the web, are not supported yet. Keys are shown once, capped at five, and revocable any time. One hard rule: your assistant can never message anyone, invite anyone, or spend your kordi points. If it answers an invitation for you, the host sees your RSVP, the same as always.

Your kordinator is your character on kordi. Customize it to match your style.

A percentage built from your attendance, punctuality, and follow-through. You see the full number on your profile. Other kordi members see it as a badge next to your name. To keep it to yourself, turn off Show reliability score in Settings > Privacy & Security.

Decide who can read your bio, and who sees your activity and your goals. Events are visible to the people you are planning them with. Location settings stay in your hands. One switch turns off Ask kordi and kordi's other AI suggestions. It's all in Settings > Privacy & Security.

Report or block anyone from their profile, and press and hold any message to report it. Blocking shuts down a direct conversation both ways. In group chats, blocking hides that person's content from you (it can't remove them from the group for everyone).

Export everything you've put into kordi, submit a privacy request, or delete your account, all from Settings > Privacy & Security. Add two-factor authentication for extra security.

Light or dark theme. Pin the features you use most to Home, and pick which two shortcuts sit in your tab bar. The short quiz when you join shapes all of it around how you like to plan.
