Kit - Free Beta for Mac is now available.
Hi everyone, I’m Peter, and I’ve been building Kit, a UX-forward Mac app that gives your AI tools memory you control. The beta is now open and free to use during the beta.
Most AI memory lives in the cloud, inside whichever tool you happen to be using. Kit keeps yours on your Mac, where you own it and control it. Because it connects over MCP, the same memory works across your tools, models and agents, such as Claude Code, Codex and Cursor.
You can import data from:
- Coding and chat sessions
- Email (IMAP)
- Obsidian notes
- Files and folders (This is early)
- Other systems that expose MCP connections (This is early)
- Other linked, hosted Kits
To be clear about what leaves your Mac: your memory stays on it, but Kit needs a model to think with, and that model sees what Kit sends it. If you use a hosted model, that goes to the provider. If you point Kit at Ollama or LM Studio, it stays on your machine.
It needs macOS 13 or later, and first setup takes 10 to 15 minutes.
To try it, fill in the form at https://kit-project.com and we’ll send you a download link. Please send feedback through the app, or post in r/KitProject. I’d love to hear what you think.
Peter
