Open Source Community Platform
Kychon gives associations, clubs, churches, and HOAs a complete portal — member directory, events, forum, announcements, and resources — on software you control, for $5–20/mo.
Start clean, preview examples, or bring your current site later.
See It In Action
Three live demo sites — each built and launched in minutes. Browse them, no signup required.
A bilingual community center in East LA. Spanish-first interface with seamless English switching, AI-moderated forums, and culturally rich design.
An active-adult community in Asheville, NC. Accessibility-first design with font scaling, high contrast mode, keyboard navigation, and senior-friendly layout.
A volunteer charity organization in Kansas. Every AI feature enabled — moderation, insights, reactions, activity feed, personalized member directory.
Start Fresh
Give us your email, organization name, and the Kychon URL you want. We will set up the first clean version with your admin access ready to go.
Your Kychon account starts with a secure sign-in link.
Reserve a clean yourclub.kychon.com URL before the portal is built.
Add your logo, colors, homepage intro, first event, resources, and member signup settings.
Kychon Concierge
Paste your existing club, association, church, or HOA website. Concierge rebuilds the public pages as a live Kychon preview, then offers a cleaner version you can claim when it feels right.
Concierge maps your public pages, events, images, resources, navigation, and brand cues.
Your old platform markup becomes editable Kychon sections, native search, clean mobile layout, and safer imports.
You get a private preview URL, a migration report, and upgrade suggestions before anything goes live.

FAQ
Yes. Kychon is open-source software. The $5–20/mo covers Run402 hosting (database, file storage, cloud services, subdomain). There are no per-member fees, no usage charges, and no hidden costs. The price scales with your hosting tier, not your member count.
Not with Studio. Tell us about your community, and AI builds your portal in minutes. For the DIY template, basic comfort with setting up web apps is helpful — but AI agents can handle that too.
You do. Kychon runs on your own Run402 project with your own database. You can export, migrate, or delete at any time. We never touch your data.
Yes. Studio can investigate your existing site and migrate your branding, colors, and content structure. Member data can be imported via CSV. See our comparison page for details.
Six optional AI features run on your own AI account (OpenAI or Anthropic): content moderation, auto-translation, newsletter drafts, smart onboarding, member insights, and event recaps. You control what runs, when, and at what cost.
Because Kychon is open source and runs on Run402's cloud platform. There's no sales team, no enterprise licensing, and no per-seat revenue model. You pay for hosting, not for software.
Open source. Flat pricing. AI-powered. Yours forever.
