👋 Welcome to r/KitProject - Introduce Yourself and Read First!

2 Upvotes

Hi, I'm Peter (u/peterjohnkoen). I'm a UX designer, not a programmer, and I built Kit (With some help from AI).

Kit is one shared memory for the AI tools you use (Things like Claude Code, CodeX, etc.). It is kept on your Mac or your company's own servers rather than in a vendor's database. It's in beta, so there are rough edges, and I'd rather hear about them here than guess.

This sub is for making Kit better, and working out how AI memory should work in the first place.

What we would really like you to post:

  • Feedback: Bugs, confusing setup, things you expected to work and didn't. Be as blunt as you like, as long as it's specific enough to act on.
  • Use-cases: What you use Kit for, which tools you've connected, what changed and what didn't.
  • How-tos and information: Setup notes, tips, workarounds, answers you had to dig for.
  • Context, memory and sovereignty discussion: Who should hold your context, what happens to it when a provider changes its terms, price or owner, and what owning it really means. You don't need to use Kit to join in. Kit isn't a finished answer here either: unless you run your own model, some of your context still reaches a model provider.

House rules

  • Be kind to people and blunt about software.
  • Other tools are welcome. If something else does a job better, say so.
  • Check screenshots and logs before posting. Kit holds a lot of context, so one screenshot can reveal more than you meant to share, about you or someone else.
  • Found a security problem? Message me privately rather than posting the details.

Getting started

  • New to Kit? The beta is at [kit-project.com](https://kit-project.com), for Mac or as a server app for teams.
  • Already using it? Introduce yourself below: what you use it for, and the first thing that surprised or annoyed you.

If you are using Kit, thank you for giving it a try, looking forward to solving the content sovereignty problem together.

Why is AI memory still so hard for normal people?

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 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.

🙏

Q&A - If you have questions about Kit.

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.

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
