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

Privacy policy and Terms: the browser extension
The privacy policy has a section on the Kinjot browser extension, made for Microsoft Edge, Chrome and Firefox. It reads only a tab you act on. It sends Kinjot what you save, with the address, title and site of the page or link and the time; what you search; up to 1,000 characters of a page when you ask for related jots; and a request for your Inbox’s unread count. It keeps its key, your account’s email address, your per-site defaults and any save waiting to be sent on your device. The Terms name the extension and the key it keeps in each browser. The extension is not in the browser stores yet.
The policy’s agents section now says that a key can read your account’s email address and your Inbox’s unread count, and which requests through a key are rate-limited.
The policy no longer says app links never name a note. A link such as /app?note=… opens one note, and carries only which note to open, never its content.
NOV 4, 2026
Privacy policy: dictation named
The privacy policy and the FAQ now say where dictation sends your voice. On-device dictation sends nothing. Cloud dictation, on Pro, sends only the recording to OpenAI through Kinjot, which keeps no copy. Own-key dictation, on any plan in a signed-in account, sends it from your browser straight to OpenAI on your key.
The policy previously left dictation out. Nothing about where your recordings go changed, only the description of it.

Checklists: filter, sort and faster ticking
Checklists has a toolbar: Filter tasks by words, sort by oldest, newest or recently updated notes, and Filters for a folder, any number of tags (a note must carry them all) and Show checked items. The folder and tags you pick show as chips you can remove. On a phone, the same controls are a filter field and a Filters sheet.
Tasks keep their nesting and the heading they sit under, with bold, italic, code and strike. Notes collapse and expand, and the whole list works from the keyboard. Search finds the view as Tasks, To-do or Unchecked too.
In the editor, Ctrl+Enter (⌘↩ on a Mac) ticks the tasks on the selected lines, and Ctrl+Shift+L or Checklist in the selection bar turns lines into tasks and back.
A task’s right-click menu adds Check all in this list, Uncheck all in this list and Move checked to the bottom. Numbered tasks continue with a box, and checked tasks read muted and struck through.

Pro is now $8 a month with 500 AI credits
Recall, Kin chat, Tidy and cloud dictation share one monthly pool of AI credits, and each action is charged by what it uses.
Searching your Recall history and on-device dictation don’t use credits.
OCT 14, 2026
Kin chat: chat with your notes
Pro accounts can chat with their notes in a dock beside the editor, and on the phone. Kin finds and quotes your notes, and answers from them.
Kin can propose an edit or an append to a note. Each comes as a card you apply or decline; nothing is written until you apply, and a version of the note is saved first when its text changes.
It can also suggest a Settings change for you to confirm, and offers Tidy only as a button: a run starts when you press it.
Runs on Claude Haiku 5.5, Claude Sonnet 5.5, GPT-6 Luna or GPT-6.1 Sol. Each message uses one Recall from the Pro allowance. Hosted only; not in the self-hosted app.

Sign-in days in the operator dashboard
The operator can now see on which days an account signed in or had Kinjot open, read as dates from Supabase Auth’s sign-in log and sessions.
Never the address or the device. The sign-in log is kept for 90 days, including after an account is closed.
OCT 13, 2026
Email delivery in the operator dashboard
The operator can see whether Kinjot’s own emails to an account, such as sign-in links, were delivered, bounced or deferred over the last 14 days, from Maileroo’s delivery log.
Never the message itself, and nothing about where or on what it was opened: Kinjot’s emails carry no open or click tracking.
OCT 13, 2026
Active days in the operator dashboard
The privacy page now says the operator can see the days on which an account was active, including days when an agent saved or changed a note with one of your keys or left a message in your Inbox.
Dates only — never the note, the message, or what changed.
The privacy page also now names Maileroo, the provider that delivers sign-in and account emails, among the service providers.
OCT 5, 2026
Checklists and note reminders
Tick a task’s box right in the editor. Each tick is one step that Undo reverses.
Checklists, in the sidebar, lists every unchecked task in your notes, grouped by note. Choosing one opens its note at that task. Notes in Trash, notes tagged autosave and quoted tasks stay out.
Bring this note back… in a note’s menu sets a reminder. When it is due, Kinjot shows it in the app and at the top of Checklists, where you snooze or dismiss it.
Reminders need an account and appear while Kinjot is open and connected, or when you return. They are stored with your account and are not included in exports.
SEP 28, 2026
Version history is on for new accounts
New accounts now record version history from their first edit. Turn it off anytime with Record version history in Settings → Account.
Existing accounts keep their current setting. If yours is off, turn it on there to start keeping your notes’ past.
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
Writes work offline now
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
Opens offline
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.

More reliable loading in Chromium
Simplified installed-app networking by retiring the offline navigation worker; installation remains available through the web manifest.
JUL 18, 2026
Install it as an app
Install the app on desktop or mobile, with a proper offline page.
JUL 17, 2026
Privacy policy: both AI providers named
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
Search your past recalls PRO
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
Recall answers stream in, and stick around PRO
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
Version recording is now opt-in
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
Version history
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
AI recall PRO
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
A name of its own REBRAND
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
Terminal agents can jot
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
Accounts & sync
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
The local-first notes app
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.
