Built for international students in China, wherever they came from.

Kondo is free for students, takes no payment in the marketplace, and keeps your profile private by default.

The whole way through

One app for the years,
not just the arrival.

Studying abroad is three different problems in a row. Kondo is built around that arc rather than around a feature list.

Before China

Arrive knowing what happens next

The paperwork, the packing, the first week — written down in order by students who have already done it.
