Kneel is the complete platform for power exchange relationships. Whether you're in a D/s dynamic, M/s, findom arrangement, or any other consensual power exchange—Kneel provides the tools to assign tasks, enforce consequences, track rituals, and formalize agreements. ### How do I get started with my partner? After creating your account, you'll choose your role (Dominant or submissive) and create or join a dynamic. If you're the Dominant, you'll receive an invite link to share with your partner. Once they join, you can start creating tasks and rituals immediately. ### What's the difference between tasks and rituals? Tasks are one-time or recurring assignments with due dates—things like 'send a morning photo' or 'complete a household chore.' Rituals are regular routines that form the structure of your dynamic—like a daily greeting or weekly review. Rituals track streaks and build consistency over time. ### How does the points system work? Points are earned through completing tasks, rituals, and instant requests. They can be spent on rewards from your dynamic's reward library. Dominants set point values and create the rewards. It's a tangible way to track devotion and give your sub something to work toward. ### Can I use Kneel without a partner? Yes! Kneel supports Solo Mode — use it for personal discipline, habit tracking, and self-accountability without a partner. Set your own rituals, tasks, and goals. You can add a partner to your dynamic at any time. ## How It Works ### What is the grace period? When your subscription ends or downgrades, your existing relationships aren't cut off immediately. You get a 3-day grace period where your current relationship stays active. After that, if you haven't resubscribed, excess relationships go on hold. This gives you time to decide without losing anything. ### How do streaks work? Each ritual tracks its own streak—a count of consecutive completions. Complete a daily ritual every day? The streak grows. Miss one day? It resets to zero. Weekly and monthly rituals work the same way on their own schedules. Streaks are a way to see consistency at a glance. ### How does the system detect missed tasks and rituals? Kneel checks overnight (based on your dynamic's timezone) for anything that was due but not completed. If something is overdue, it's marked as a miss. Your Dominant can also log a miss manually at any time. During a paused dynamic, no misses are detected. ### What happens when something is missed? Depending on your dynamic's settings: points may be deducted, a consequence may be automatically assigned (if one was linked), the miss is logged in your accountability history, and any ritual streak resets. All of this is configurable—the Dominant decides what triggers what. ### How does point reservation work? When a submissive requests a reward, the point cost is reserved immediately—deducted from the available balance so you can't double-spend. If the Dominant approves, the points stay spent and the reward is granted. If rejected, the points are returned. Your available balance always reflects pending requests. ### What's the difference between coverage and premium? Premium unlocks features for the entire relationship—if either partner has Premium, both get access. Coverage (relationship slots) determines how many relationships a Premium subscriber can maintain at once. Free users get one relationship; Premium subscribers can cover multiple. If a partner covers your relationship with their Premium, you both get full access without needing your own subscription. ## Features ### What types of dynamics does Kneel support? Kneel is designed for all consensual power exchange dynamics: Dominant/submissive, Master/slave, Financial Domination, and more. The platform is gender-neutral and supports any configuration of partners. ### Can I manage multiple submissives? Yes. Kneel supports multiple dynamics from a single account. Each relationship gets its own separate dashboard, history, and tracking. Perfect for professional dominants, polyamorous configurations, or findoms managing multiple submissives. ### How do consequences work? There are two types: timer-based consequences require active participation (like corner time), while restrictions are passive time-periods (like no screen time until Sunday). Both support photo verification and can be saved to your punishment library for easy reuse. ### Can I customize consequence types? Absolutely. Build a punishment library with your own consequences. Set severity levels (minor, moderate, severe), default durations, and verification requirements. Link specific punishments to missed tasks or rituals for automatic enforcement. ### How does photo proof work? Tasks, rituals, and consequences can require photo proof. The submissive takes the photo in Kneel when marking completion. Proof photos are taken and sent inside Kneel. They are encrypted on your phone before upload, and the server stores only ciphertext. The Dominant opens it in the app, reviews it, and verifies completion. Nothing goes through text or another app. ### What analytics does Kneel provide? Track task completion rates, ritual streaks, point accumulation, mood trends over 30 days, and consequence history. Both partners can see the data to understand patterns and celebrate progress. ### Is Kneel suitable for financial domination? Yes. Findoms use Kneel to manage multiple subs, assign tribute tasks, track completion, enforce consequences for non-compliance, and maintain separate records for each submissive. The points system can represent tribute amounts or be used independently. ### How do permission requests work? Submissives can quickly request everyday permissions — like going out, spending money, or starting an activity. The Dominant receives a push notification and approves or denies with optional notes. Requests auto-expire after 24 hours if unanswered. Available with Premium. ### What are shared notes? Shared Notes is a collaborative knowledge base within your dynamic. Create notes with tags and folders to organize scene ideas, discussion topics, wishlists, or anything you want to share with your partner. Available with Premium. ## Advanced ### How do contracts work? Contracts are living documents with structured sections for foundations, expectations, protocols, and safety boundaries. Both partners digitally sign each version. Set renewal periods (monthly, quarterly, yearly) to regularly reaffirm your commitment. ### Can I pause my dynamic temporarily? Yes. Either partner can request a pause, and the Dominant approves it. While paused, no new tasks or consequences are enforced, but your history and settings remain intact. Resume whenever you're ready. ### What happens if I miss a task? Overdue tasks trigger the consequences you've configured—point deductions, chastity extensions, or automatic punishment assignments. You can also set up notifications and reminders to help prevent misses. ### How does chastity tracking work? The chastity module tracks lock/unlock status, scheduled release dates, check-ins, and release requests. Extensions can be added as punishment; reductions granted as reward. Daily check-ins include difficulty ratings to monitor wellbeing. ### What is auto-punishment? Auto-punishment automatically assigns a consequence when a task or ritual is missed. The Dominant configures which punishment is triggered — including chastity lock extensions, timer tasks, or restrictions. No manual intervention needed for routine accountability. ### Can I export my data? Yes. You can request a full data export from Settings. This includes all tasks, rituals, completions, contracts, and history in a standard format. We respect your right to your data. ## Troubleshooting ### Why is my relationship 'On Hold'? On Hold means a relationship isn't covered by a Premium slot. The free plan covers 1 dynamic with up to 10 active tasks and 3 active rituals. Premium unlocks the full feature set plus additional relationship slots. Upgrade to Premium or have your partner cover the dynamic to restore access. ### My partner can't see what I see Make sure your partner has joined your dynamic using the invite link. Each partner needs their own account and must be a member of the same dynamic. Go to Settings > Dynamic to verify membership. ### Notifications aren't working Check that push notifications are enabled in your device settings and in Kneel's notification preferences. Also verify you're logged into the correct account and your push token is registered (Settings > Notifications). ### A task shows as overdue but I completed it Make sure you marked the task complete in the app before the due date passed. If you completed it late, it may have already been marked overdue by the system. Your Dominant can manually adjust if needed. ### How do I delete my account? Go to Settings > Account > Delete Account. This permanently removes all your data and cannot be undone. If you're in a dynamic, your partner will be notified. ## Privacy & Security ### Is my data private and secure? Privacy is Kneel's top priority. All data is transmitted securely. Kneel never sells your data; the service providers that process it are listed in the privacy policy. Proof photos are end-to-end encrypted, so the server stores only ciphertext. Biometric app lock and sensitive notification content hiding keep your dynamic private on your device. ### Can anyone else see my dynamic? No. Only you and your partner(s) in the dynamic can see your tasks, rituals, and history. Each dynamic is completely private and isolated from others. ### What data do you collect? Kneel collects only what's necessary to provide the service: account info, dynamic data (tasks, rituals, etc.), and device info for push notifications. Kneel never sells user data or uses it for advertising. ### Can I hide Kneel on my phone? Kneel's icon is intentionally non-descriptive — it won't reveal anything on your home screen. You can also enable biometric lock (Face ID or fingerprint) and hide sensitive content from notifications in Settings. ## Subscription & Billing ### What's included in Premium? Premium unlocks unlimited tasks and rituals, the full consequences system, contracts and agreements, advanced analytics, multiple dynamics support. It costs $9.99 a month or $79.99 a year. The monthly plan starts with a 3-day free trial, and the yearly plan starts with a 7-day trial. ### Can I use Kneel with my partner remotely? Absolutely. Kneel is designed for both in-person and long-distance dynamics. Real-time sync keeps partners connected with instant notifications, shared task lists, and remote consequence enforcement. ### How do I cancel my subscription? Subscriptions are managed through the App Store (iOS) or Google Play (Android). Go to your device's subscription settings to cancel. Your Premium features remain active until the end of your billing period. ### Do both partners need Premium? No. Premium is per-dynamic, not per-user. One subscription covers both partners. If either partner has Premium, the whole dynamic gets Premium features. Perfect for Dominants who want to provide the best experience for their submissive. ## Understanding Dynamics ### What is power exchange in a relationship? Power exchange is a relationship structure where partners consensually negotiate an asymmetry of authority. One partner (the dominant) leads and the other (the submissive) serves. It governs daily routines, communication, and accountability — not just intimacy. ### What is a D/s dynamic? A D/s (Dominant/submissive) dynamic is a type of power exchange relationship where one partner takes a leadership role and the other takes a service-oriented role. It involves negotiated rules, rituals, and protocols that both partners consent to and regularly revisit. ### Is there an app for D/s relationships? Yes. Kneel is a mobile app purpose-built for D/s relationships. It provides tools for assigning tasks, tracking rituals, enforcing consequences, and formalizing contracts. Available on iOS and Android with a free tier and optional Premium. ### What's the difference between D/s and BDSM? BDSM is an umbrella term covering Bondage/Discipline, Dominance/submission, and Sadism/Masochism. D/s specifically refers to the power exchange component — the ongoing relationship structure between a dominant and submissive — which can exist with or without the other BDSM elements. ### Can power exchange work for long-distance couples? Yes. Many power exchange dynamics thrive long-distance through daily rituals, task assignments, regular check-ins, and shared digital tools. Kneel is designed for both in-person and remote dynamics with real-time sync, shared dashboards, and instant notifications. ### How do I start a power exchange relationship? Start with an honest conversation about what each partner wants. Define one simple ritual, set clear expectations, and agree on a review period (2-4 weeks). Build gradually — consistency matters more than complexity. Tools like Kneel can help structure the process.
