Desktop app

Free vs Pro

Free unlocks the full local editor, tables, and a single AI provider. Pro adds multi-provider routing, advanced hooks, and commercial support.

What Free gets you

Free is not a community fork or an open-source build — it is the full Kition desktop app on a generous personal tier. Every local capability ships: editor, wikilinks, tables, agent core, basic hooks, subagents.

  • Local vault, Markdown editor, command palette, wikilinks
  • Tables with all field types and views
  • Agent core + plan / goal mode
  • A single AI provider at a time (OpenAI / Anthropic / OpenAI-compatible)
  • Basic hooks and up to 2 subagents

What Pro adds

  • Mount multiple providers at once with model routing (right model for each task)
  • Full hooks: audit logs, compliance gates, custom tools
  • Team-vault protocol: multi-user collaboration with role-based access
  • Commercial support SLA and priority queue
  • Unlocked subagent count

How to choose

Solo writing, research, indie dev → Free is plenty.

Team collaboration, compliance gates, multi-model routing → Pro.

Pro is a one-time $99 / seat, perpetual for the current major version.
