Overview

kib is an open-source, local-first knowledge compiler. Your data stays on your machine. We do not operate servers that receive, store, or process your content.

CLI Tool

The kib CLI runs entirely on your local machine. All ingested content, compiled wiki articles, and search indexes are stored in your local vault directory. When you use commands that call an LLM (compile, query, chat), your content is sent directly to the LLM provider you configured (Anthropic, OpenAI, or a local Ollama instance). We do not proxy, intercept, or log these requests.

Chrome Extension

The kib Chrome extension extracts webpage content (text, title, and URL) from the active tab when you click "Save to kib." This content is sent to your locally running kib server at localhost:4747 and is never transmitted to any external server.

The extension:

— Does not collect personally identifiable information
— Does not track browsing history or user activity
— Does not use analytics, telemetry, or third-party scripts
— Does not transmit data to any server other than your local machine
— Stores only your local server connection preference using Chrome storage

Third-Party Services

When you configure an LLM provider, your content is sent to that provider under their terms of service. Review the privacy policies of your chosen provider:

— Anthropic
— OpenAI
