What’s new in Kinjot

Everything that ships, in order. New entries land here the day they go live.

SEP 24, 2026

Now Kinjot

The product is now Kinjot at kinjot.com.
The npm package and CLI are kinjot. API keys now start with kj_live_; older keys no longer work.
The MCP server is named kinjot. Its tools keep their jot names.

JUL 26, 2026

Every edit saves on your device first and syncs in the background. Writing no longer needs a connection, just a browser you’ve signed in on before. If a note changed in two places, the version that syncs second is kept next to the other as a “conflicted copy”; your text is never merged away.
An expired session no longer closes your notes. You keep editing behind a “sign in to sync” banner, and everything syncs when you sign back in. Signing out on purpose still signs you out and warns you first if anything hasn’t synced.

JUL 25, 2026

The app now keeps a full copy of itself in your browser, so it opens with no connection at all: cold start, airplane mode, notes and search included. Writes still needed a connection when this shipped. See the entry above.
When a new version ships, the app asks before switching to it. Choosing Update saves what you’re writing in every open tab first, and cancels if anything hasn’t saved.

JUL 22, 2026

Simplified installed-app networking by retiring the offline navigation worker; installation remains available through the web manifest.

JUL 18, 2026

JUL 17, 2026

The privacy policy now names both providers behind AI recall: Voyage AI builds the embeddings that power search by meaning, and OpenAI writes gists and answers. It previously credited both to OpenAI. Nothing about where your notes go changed, only the description of it.
It also spells out that saved recall history, meaning your questions and their answers, is stored on your account, and that we’ve opted out of Voyage’s model training. On the free plan, notes are still never sent to either provider.

JUL 15, 2026

Recall history is searchable by keyword across both your questions and the answers you got back.
Flip on semantic search to find a past answer by meaning instead of wording. Each hit shows how closely it matched.

JUL 13, 2026

Answers now stream as they’re written, and the notes being drawn from appear the moment they’re found, so you’re never watching a blank panel.
Every completed answer is saved. Browse past recalls, re-run one against your current notes, copy it, pin it, or delete it.
R opens Recall; minimize it and the answer keeps generating while you work.
Saved answers stay readable even if your subscription lapses.

JUL 10, 2026

Nothing is recorded unless you say so: version history starts off for everyone. Flip Record version history in Settings → Account to start keeping your notes’ past.
Recording is free on every plan, and so is browsing and restoring what it captured. Turn it on whenever you want the history.
Turning recording off stops new snapshots; versions you already have are kept, and restores always save the content they replace.

JUL 9, 2026

Every note now keeps a history as you edit it. Open History on any note to browse past versions.
A before-and-after view compares any version with the current note, with an option to highlight what was added and removed.
Restore a note to any earlier version in one click. You can undo the restore too.
Browsing and restoring history is free on every plan. Since Jul 10, capture is opt-in; see above.

JUL 8, 2026

Ask your notes a question in plain language and get an answer built only from what you saved. Every answer links the notes it used.
When your notes don’t cover it, recall says so instead of inventing an answer.
Your agents can ask too: recall_jots brings the same search by meaning into Claude Code and Codex.
Includes 120 recalls a month. A recall that fails partway doesn’t count against it. Keyword search stays free and unlimited for everyone.

JUL 7, 2026

Claude Notes got a name and domain of its own. The package, CLI and API keys were renamed to match.
MCP tools redesigned around explicit invocation: jot, find_jots, get_jot, list_recent_jots. Nothing saves unless you say “jot”.
Search results are compact by design: top 5 hits, titles and tags only. Your agent’s context stays lean, bodies are fetched per note.
Saves from an agent auto-tag the repo they came from; tags are normalized (lowercase, dashes, max 5).

JUL 7, 2026

MCP server + CLI: save, search and list recent notes from Claude Code, Codex, or your terminal.
The CLI’s init --key … validates your key and prints the exact MCP config block.
API keys in Settings: created in one click, shown exactly once, stored only as a hash, revocable any time.

JUL 6, 2026

Sign in with email/password or GitHub.
Notes sync across devices; a local cache keeps reads and search instant.
Every note is private by default, enforced at the database level and covered by an attack-test suite.

JUL 6, 2026

Notes, folders, tags and full-text search are all instant and in your browser.
⌘K palette, N for a new note, paste a code block and it becomes a draft with the language detected.
Markdown editor with a sanitized preview; export a note as .md or everything as a zip.
Fast at scale: 2,000 notes open in under a second, search answers in under 100 ms.
