KinTerm

Lost in Chinese family kinship? KinTerm calculates terms up to 5 levels deep. Family tree, red envelope tracker, festival greetings — all included. Fully offline.

At Lunar New Year, weddings, family banquets — the most awkward moment is "what should I call this uncle's grand-aunt?"

KinTerm tells you the correct kinship term in one second. Starting from yourself, tap through the relationships — father, mother, sister, cousin... — and the app instantly shows how to address that person. It covers up to five generations of family relations, with the complete Chinese kinship vocabulary used in Taiwan, plus the legal kinship degree (Taiwan Civil Code Article 968). Three small tools come with it: family tree, festival greeting templates, and red envelope records.

■ Core features (free forever)

· Kinship calculator Tap through relationships starting from yourself: Father → Mother → Sister → Son... Instantly shows the correct kinship term (e.g. Father's mother = Grandmother / 奶奶). Up to five generations, full Taiwanese kinship terminology built in. Reverse lookup: "who is my granduncle's granddaughter?" works too. Includes legal kinship degree based on Taiwan Civil Code Article 968 — useful for inheritance, marriage taboo, and legal contexts.

· Family tree (up to 5 members) Add family members and the app auto-draws the relationship graph. Tap any member to see their kinship term, distance, and generation relative to you. Supports photos, birth year, and deceased status.

· Festival greeting templates (10 per category) Templates for Lunar New Year, Mid-Autumn, Dragon Boat, Mother's Day, Father's Day, and more. Copy with one tap and send to elders, clients, or group chats.

· Red envelope records (up to 5 entries) Track who you gave money to, how much, on what occasion, in which year. Auto-cumulative, so when the next festival comes you can check what you gave last time and avoid the never-ending escalation.

■ Pro unlock (NT$60 one-time purchase, lifetime)

· Unlimited family tree members Build out three, four, or five-generation family trees in full. · Regional terminology switching Switch between 7 regional kinship vocabularies: Taiwan, Mainland China, Hong Kong, Hokkien (Min-nan), Hakka, Singapore, and Malaysia. · TTS pronunciation Not sure how to pronounce a term? Tap to hear it in Taiwan Mandarin, HK Cantonese, or Mainland Mandarin (voice options depend on system-installed voices). · Full festival templates Unlimited templates per category, in four styles: letter, card, SMS, and group chat. · Unlimited red envelope records Keep all your years of red envelope history, view ten-year trends. · Surname signature Greeting templates auto-include your surname (e.g. "Chen Family", "Respectfully from the Lin Family").
