Getting started
Install, first-run, AI provider setup — start from scratch.
Install Kition
Download for macOS / Windows and finish first-run.
Create your first vault
A vault is a local folder holding all your docs, tables, and settings.
UI tour
Know the sidebar, editor area, agent panel, and command palette.
Configure an AI provider
Wire up an OpenAI / Anthropic / compatible key so the agent can run.
Securing your API key
Keys live in the OS keychain. Never commit them to your vault or repo.
Backup and sync
Local-first ≠ no backup. Three recommended paths: Git, iCloud, Dropbox.
Ready when you are.
Kition is a local-first AI workspace. Markdown documents, structured tables, and an AI agent — running on your own machine, against the model provider you choose.
