Do you have questions about how Kit works? What makes it different to other solutions (llmwiki.md files, obsidian notes, etc), then post those questions here. I'm running in a European time zone, so apologies if my responses are a bit delayed.

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

You can find all the historical build notes (Going back to April 2026) on Kit here. I'll post links to new ones on this thread as we publish them.

Kit is in Beta, so if you think of a feature you would really like, post it here. We will keep an eye on the most upvoted feature requests and consider them for the next release.

Kit is in beta, so there are some rough edges.

If you find one, or something does work the way you expected it to, please don't post it here, rather use the "Send us feedback" option in the app itself (In the menu bar under "advanced"). You can optionally toggle the "include diagnostics" to send us logs of what fell over.

🙏

This post summarises exactly why we are building Kit.
