📓 KitDB · Changelog

v3.18.5 October 2026

• Fixed: a project’s folders seemed to vanish after a refresh (the first load did not keep them apart from the Notes folders); they were saved, and now show.
• Reorder a project in the side panel: drag an item onto another to put it before it (it joins that one’s folder), or a folder onto another folder. Dragging no longer highlights the other names.
• One emoji picker: a folder’s, a note’s or a project’s Icon… opens KitHub’s searchable picker straight away (paste works too), with a way back to the usual icon.
• A to-do list on each project’s page. Give one a due day and it is in KitPlan too (calendar, planner, To-do), and ticking it there ticks it here. (Cards on a project’s boards with due days were already in KitPlan.)
• What you had open stays open: go to Notes and back to Projects, or to another project and back, and the item you were in opens again (until you close it yourself).
• Lane descriptions in two lengths: a line under the lane, and a fuller one that shows when you add to or edit a card in that lane, as a reminder of what belongs there. Both from the lane’s Description.
• A friendlier card editor in the Outline: in the middle of the screen, with Where, Runs to and Lane labelled, the lane’s reminder at the top, and Done where you expect it.
• Drag things into a project’s folders: click and drag on a computer, or hold and drag on a phone; drop one on the project itself to take it out of its folder. A folder’s ⋯ renames it, changes its icon or deletes it, and each item in the sidebar has its ⋯ too, with Move to folder.
• The formatting bar sits in its place under the title, and pins to the top only once you scroll past it (no empty gap at the top of a note).
• Folders in projects: 📁 New folder on a project, then Move to from anything in it. The side panel and a phone’s project page show each folder with what is in it; the Notes tab’s folders stay its own.
• Undo and redo: Ctrl+Z (⌘Z) undoes, Ctrl+Shift+Z or Ctrl+Y redoes; deleting something offers Undo on its note too (it comes back from Recently deleted). In a text box the usual undo still works.

v3.18.4 October 2026

• A link in a note to another app opens in a peek over the page on a computer, the whole thing; on a phone it opens in its tab, with ‹ Back to return.
• The formatting bar stays at the top of the screen while you write, wherever you scroll (it used to stop partway down in a project’s note); ▴ hides it and ▾ Format brings it back.
• On a phone, a project opens on what is in it (drafts, characters, boards, notes) to open; ＋ New makes something.
• Find an emoji (☺) beside a folder’s or a note’s icon: search by name or everyday words; it is used as soon as you pick it.

v3.18.3 October 2026

• Link to your journal entries from a note: KitJournal entries are found by their titles in the link search (yours only).
• Tab types a tab in everything you write, not only Drafts: a project’s notes, characters and any page.

v3.18.2 October 2026

• Behind the scenes: feed articles over two years old are let go, unless you saved, highlighted or queued one, linked it to a note, or are part way through listening to it; read marks that old go too. Before, every article ever fetched was kept, and busy feeds add thousands a year.

v3.18.1 October 2026

• Fixed: cards on boards in an archived project showed on the KitPlan calendar and were sent as reminders. An archived project’s boards, and anything in the trash, are left out; unarchive it and they come back.

v3.18 October 2026

Board cards and People actions with a due date remind you on your phone.

• At 8am the day before and 8am on the day, your own time, when KitHub is set up with ntfy. Tapping the notification opens the board or the person.
• Complete cards and done actions are never sent; a new due date is reminded again.
• Your birthdays, renewals, due dates and Kitsta post dates appear on your KitPlan calendar. Ticking a card there moves it to Complete; ticking a People action marks it done.

v3.17 October 2026

KitDB's birthdays, anniversaries and renewals can now appear in your calendar app through KitHub's private feed.

• Your own birthdays and anniversaries, and a partner's, appear each year; each active subscription appears at its next renewal, moving forward as it renews.
• Only what you can already see is offered, and the yearly review reminder stays out of the calendar, which lists renewals only.

v3.16 October 2026

KitDB's reminders can reach your phone through KitHub's notifications.

• When the KitHub you use is set up with ntfy, birthdays, anniversaries, subscription renewals and the yearly review are sent to each person's own phone, once, on the day. The words are the same as the banner's, without gift ideas or notes.
• While notifications are on, the browser banner no longer shows, so you are not told twice.

v3.15 October 2026

Someone invited by the admin and given KitDB gets a KitDB of their own, made the first time they open it.

• KitDB's own sharing stays between the two of you for now.

v3.14 October 2026

KitDB signs in with KitHub's own sign-in now: one Auth0 sign-in, on the hub, opens KitDB and every app.

• Sign in once more, on the hub. KitDB still opens only to an Auth0 sign-in, never the household password.
• Your devices list, and Sign out every device, cover every sign-in to the hub.

v3.13.1 October 2026

• Fixed: after a restore from backup, which leaves out the Feeds cache, putting your feeds back could attach a feed to another feed’s articles or to none, mark new articles read, or show a new article in place of one you saved. Every feed now comes back as itself and starts unread, and saved, highlighted and linked articles stay themselves.

v3.13 October 2026

Any note, board or character can wear an icon of its own.

• 🎨 Icon…, in anything’s ⋯ menu, gives it any emoji you like — from the grid, or typed or pasted in, exactly like a folder’s. It shows in the panel’s item rows, in the lists, and in the properties row while it is open; Back to brings the plain one for its kind back.
• An icon is filed, not saved: it makes no new version, never conflicts with a save on another device, and works offline like pinning and moving.
• Only the owner can change it — a note shared with you keeps its owner’s icon, and you see it, but cannot change it.

v3.12.1 October 2026

• A character’s quick look, from the Matrix beside the Draft, shows everything written on their sheet, in full and under the sheet’s own headings: the profile, the character map, how the urge shows up, their view of each central theme and of each other character. Empty fields are left out.

v3.12 October 2026

A Matrix that writes into the Draft, and stretches.

• Add scenes and chapters from the Matrix. + beside any scene or chapter adds one after it, + Scene and + Chapter add one at the end, and each goes into the Draft as a heading with the name you type, in the right place.
• Entries across several scenes or chapters. Drag an entry’s right edge across, or choose Runs to… in it; it is drawn as one bar, and keeps its length when moved.
• Lane descriptions: a line under a lane’s name saying what it follows, from its ⋯.
• A quick look at what an entry links to, from the Matrix beside the Draft: tap a character and see its picture, role, description and core urge without leaving your writing.

v3.11.1 October 2026

• On an iPhone, + Stat on a person’s record opens its list again, as a sheet from the bottom of the screen. On any phone wider than 380 points it opened below the page, out of sight. Every stat was there all along.

v3.11 October 2026

Organise and delete offline.

• Filing a note in a folder or project, tagging, pinning, and Pin to home or Notes now work with no connection, and are sent with your other changes when it is back, in the order you made them.
• So do making, renaming, moving and deleting folders and tags (a folder or tag made offline can be used at once), renaming or archiving a project, and moving to the trash, restoring and deleting for good.
• The change shows at once, and still shows if you reload while offline.

v3.10.1 October 2026

• Subscriptions, the budget and Kitsta can be read offline too, as they last were on the device, now that KitHub keeps saved copies.

v3.10 October 2026

Priorities that sort themselves, and completed cards you can open.

• A board’s columns keep High cards at the top and Low at the bottom. Setting a card to High moves it to the top of its column, Low to the bottom; moving a card to another column, restoring it from Completed, or adding one puts it in its place too.
• Dragging still orders cards as you like within High, Medium or Low; a card dropped outside its own goes to the nearest edge of it.
• A board opens with any High cards already on top.
• See a completed card: tap its name in ✓ Completed for its labels, priority, checklist, attachments, link and notes, read only, with Restore beside them.

v3.9 October 2026

Subscriptions, and your budget.

• 🔁 Subscriptions, a new tab: name, amount, how often and since when, with trials, pausing, cancelling (kept, with what it has saved), your share of a shared one, price history and how to cancel.
• Reminders on KitHub’s banner before a renewal or a trial’s end, as far ahead as you choose for each.
• Overview of your month and year, what is due soon and your categories; Upcoming, a year month by month; and set-asides for yearly and quarterly ones.
• Budget: income and Needs, Wants and Savings lines against 50/30/20, with Subscriptions filling itself in, and a monthly cap for subscriptions.
• Yearly review: keep, downgrade or cancel each, one at a time, once a year.
• A project with exactly one item pinned opens on that item when you choose it.

v3.8 October 2026

A main board in Notes, and priorities.

• 📌 Pin to Notes, on anything in a project: it is listed in the Notes panel under From projects and on Home under Pinned, and opens there, without going to Projects. Tap it again to take it out.
• Priority on a board’s cards: Low, Medium or High, in the open card beside Due. Every card is Medium, as before, and shows nothing; High is marked ▲ in red and Low ▽, quieter.

v3.7 October 2026

Cards that open things.

• Link a whole card to a project or to anything in KitDB: type / in a card’s title or in + Add a card and pick. Tapping the card opens what it points at; ✎ opens the card. A main board of projects is now one tap from each.
• The link search finds projects, in notes too, and says which project something is in rather than “Inbox”.
• A board shared with you to read now opens its cards when tapped.
• A board’s card links count for Linked from, and show in its Markdown and Word exports.

v3.6 October 2026

Complete cards, a panel that stays, and clearing out unused tags.

• Complete, for a board’s cards: not a column, a status. A completed card leaves the board for ✓ Completed (N) above the columns, where you can look through them and Restore one to the column it came from.
• The panel stays beside the page on a computer, in every tab: no more Hide this panel, and no ☰. Focus, in a draft, still puts it away. A panel you had hidden is back. On a phone it slides in as before.
• Manage tags puts the tags no note carries under Not on any note, with one button to delete them all after a look at their names.
• Each tag says where it is used, counting notes in the trash and in projects. A tag only those carry is kept, so restoring a note brings its tags back with it.
• On a phone, each tag in Manage tags has its name on one line and its buttons under it, rather than squeezed beside them.

v3.5 October 2026

• KitDB can be People alone, birthdays and all, signed in by KitHub’s own password: how it runs in a guest’s KitHub.
• Ctrl K opens KitHub’s command bar here too, which finds notes, instead of KitDB’s older switcher as well.

v3.4.1 October 2026

• Birthdays in Notes: the panel’s Birthdays opens right there, so the People tab can stay hidden. Add a birthday with just a name and a date, change it, and keep its gift ideas and reminders.
• Fixed: Kitsta’s profile, post and highlight windows were cut off by the dock at the bottom. The dock now steps aside, and the back button closes them, as everywhere else.

v3.4 October 2026

Kitsta: plan an Instagram profile, and see a post on the grid before you post it.

• Kitsta, a new tab: your profile as it looks (picture, name, bio, link, counts, highlights) with posts, carousels and reels on a 3:4 grid, or the old square one.
• Drafts sit beside what is already up, marked; arrange them by dragging or with arrows; pin up to three. Tap where each photo’s tile should centre and see the crop.
• Open a post to see it as it will look, carousel and caption and all, then mark it posted, pin it or delete it.
• Private to you, like the rest of KitDB. Photos are made smaller in your browser before they are saved.

v3.3 September 2026

Likes, stories, quotes you can change, and people pinned to the top.

• + Like beside Favorite and Dislike: “Liked music: jazz”. Likes sit between the favorites and the dislikes, and Edit turns any of them into another.
• Stories, at the bottom of a record (📖 Story in Add to): a title, when it was in your own words (“summer 2019”, “the wedding”), and the story, as long as it needs, with its line breaks. Edit changes one in place. Stories are found by the search and are in the exported text.
• Quotes can be changed: tap a quote for its words, or its context to change or clear it; + context adds one it lacks.
• Pin people to the top of People: ☆ on their card or ☆ Pin in their record. Pinned people come first whichever way the list is sorted, and nothing in their record changes.

v3.2 September 2026

Bring your iPhone contacts into People, remember where you met, and favorites kept in order.

• Import contacts in People: export contacts from the iPhone’s Contacts as a .vcf file (Share Contact → Save to Files) and choose it. Names, birthdays, phones, emails, addresses, job, Instagram, Mom, Dad, siblings, anniversaries, notes and photos come across. Each contact is matched to someone you have by name, phone or email, and you choose New, Update or Skip for each before anything changes. An update only adds; it never overwrites what you wrote.
• Where you met, a new stat with the places: typed like an address, with suggestions as you type, and a map.
• Favorites first, then dislikes, always: adding, switching or dragging one keeps them grouped, and ↑ ↓ move a favorite within its own group.
• Customize tabs in the ⋯ menu: Notes, People, Projects and Feeds in your order, and hide the ones you don’t use.
• Your Trash in KitHub’s Recently deleted, in a browser signed in to KitDB, with Put back and Delete now. KitDB’s Trash still keeps things until you empty it.
• One theme everywhere: with it switched on in KitHub, KitDB follows KitHub’s theme, unless you choose one of its own here.

v3.1 September 2026

Crop people’s photos, tidier stats and favorites, and an iPhone Share button for Feeds.

• Cropping a photo: a new photo opens in a round frame to drag and zoom before it is kept, and Crop the photo (tap the photo) crops it again later from the whole of the original, not only what was left.
• Stats and favorites read as clean text that wraps, with their Call, Write, Open and Map links; Edit on either brings the boxes and the ↑ ↓ ✕ to rewrite, move and remove them (a favorite can also become a dislike). Adding a stat opens its Edit. The list of stats to add scrolls on a phone and sits above the dock.
• 💤 in Comms, after 👻.
• A car is plain text now: the list of makes and models is gone.
• Mom and Dad in the stats, as many of each as there are, each linkable to their own record; a job has a position and a company, and reads “Landscape architect at Field & Frame”.
• The iPhone Share button: set up once in Shortcuts (the steps are under Read a link), then on any article in Safari tap Share → Send to KitDB and 📋 Paste the page. It sends the article from Safari, for sites that refuse KitDB.

v3.0.1 September 2026

• Removing highlights wherever they are listed, not only by tapping one in the article: ✕ on each in an article’s ⋯ → Highlights, with Remove all highlights there; Remove beside each highlight whose words are no longer in the article (these had no way to be removed at all); and Remove its highlights on each article in the Highlights view.

v3.0 September 2026

People: a record for everyone in your life, with their birthday, gift ideas, what to do for them, and everything worth remembering.

• A People tab beside Notes, with its own panel: All people, Birthdays, Action items, and folders for Friends, Family, New Friends, Acquaintances and Enemies. Search finds anyone by anything in their record, and Filter narrows by how things stand, partners, media buddies, open action items, a birthday coming up or any stat.
• Each record holds comms and love statuses, a photo, action items with dates and priorities, the birthday with its reminders and gift ideas (bought, then given, then kept in the gift history), notes in the full editor, favorites and dislikes, quotes, and stats: from a job and an address to shoe size and blood type, added only as you need them. Partners get date ideas and an anniversary; media buddies get your shared KitFlicks and KitTunes lists.
• Birthdays moved into People. Everyone on the Birthdays note is now a person in Unsorted, with their gift ideas and reminders, and the banner on every page reads people’s records, including a partner’s anniversary. The old note is kept, off Home, with its history.
• Read a link in Feeds: paste an article’s address to read it once, or save it for later, where it is an article like any other: highlights, Listen, Send to a note. The KitDB button sends a page from your browser, for sites that will not let KitDB in.
• Letting go of audio: Listening shows what each article’s audio is kept on this device and on the server, and removes either, one article or all at once. Feeds settings do the same for the server.
• Notes in a project no longer take tags. Tags a note already had are kept, unseen, and come back if it leaves the project.
• People are private to each of you and are never shared. Each has a Markdown copy in the nightly backup, without a phone passcode or license number.

v2.2 September 2026

The Matrix, beside the writing.

• Timelines are now Matrices, and a Draft can show its Matrix beside the writing: Matrix above the Draft, where the Outline goes. It shows one column at a time, the scene or chapter the cursor is in, and follows you as you write. Add, rename, move and delete entries right there.
• Tab types a tab in a Draft, to indent a line, instead of leaving the editor. Lists and tables keep their own Tab. A Word export keeps it as a real tab.
• On a computer the bar above a Draft (Notes, Outline, Matrix, Focus, History) now stays in view with the formatting bar as you scroll, and the dock at the bottom steps aside while you write.
• Points of your own (Day 1, Year 12…) are no longer offered for a new Matrix; one that already has them keeps them. A new Matrix without a Draft runs by date.

v2.1 September 2026

• The rain pauses while you read. On the Rainy Day theme, opening an article in Feeds stops the rain, and closing it, however it is closed, starts it again.
• Starting the rain no longer adds another listener each time, which mattered once it started with every article.

KitDB v2.0.4 September 2026

• Fixed: a picture at the top of some articles stayed stuck to the top as you scrolled, on a phone and a computer, and on a computer it covered the reader’s bar. The site had wrapped it in a header of its own, which took KitDB’s top-bar style; it now scrolls with the article.
• The reader’s bar (Listen, Full article and the rest) slides away as you read down and comes back when you scroll up on a computer too, not only on a phone.
• While an article is open, the ▼ that brings back KitDB’s top bar and its tabs is hidden: the reader’s bar is the only one.
• The reader’s bar stays on one line. When its buttons do not fit, it scrolls sideways on its own, with a fade at the end that has more, instead of wrapping or pushing the whole article sideways. A wide table or code block in an article scrolls in its own box too.
• Always fetch the full article, for every feed, in Feeds settings, on top of each feed’s own switch.
• Refresh all feeds in the panel, and Shift+R, check every feed at once, whatever the river shows. It says how many could not be reached, and a refresh cut short no longer marks the feeds it had not got to as failing.
• Fewer “this feed has moved”: a feed whose address moves on the same site (http to https, with or without www, a new path) now just takes the new address, keeping its articles and read marks. Only a move to another site is still offered, and its note now says the feed still works meanwhile.

KitDB v2.0.3 September 2026

• On a phone, an open article no longer has KitHub’s ✕ in the top corner. ‹ Back and the back button close it, and the reader’s bar gets that corner back, so its ⋯ is no longer half under the ✕.

KitDB v2.0.2 September 2026

• A ⋯ on every note in the list, on a phone and a computer: Share, both pins, Move to folder, Export and Move to trash, for that note, without opening it. On a note shared with you it says only its owner can file it. The trash keeps Restore and Delete for good.
• Fixed: on a phone, KitHub’s ✕ covered the ⋯ at the end of an open note’s bar. The bar now stops short of it.
• A menu near the bottom of the screen opens upward instead of running off it.

KitDB v2.0.1 September 2026

• Fixed: Fish Audio read each paragraph of an article in a different voice. It lists no voices, and with none it makes up a new speaker for every request, which is every paragraph. Listening settings now take a voice ID for it (the part after /m/ in a voice’s fish.audio address), starting with Fish’s own “Energetic Male”, and send it with every paragraph. Anything that is not an ID is refused.

KitDB v2.0 September 2026

Feeds, complete: a reader for everything you follow, beside your notes.

• All of it, in one place: the Feeds tab follows RSS, Atom and JSON feeds and finds them from any address; reads articles cleaned, with pictures and the full text; keeps Saved and Favorites; highlights with notes, sent to a note if you like; links articles from notes; and reads articles aloud in KitHub’s player, with a queue.
• Offline: river pages and articles seen on this device read with no connection, every Saved article is kept ready, and reading, saving, highlighting and the queue work offline and send when the connection is back.
• Keep an article’s audio on this device (its ⋯), to listen with no connection.
• Settings (at the bottom of Feeds’ panel) now also say how far back the river goes, 30, 60 or 90 days, and how long made audio is kept for articles nothing else keeps. Old audio is tidied away by itself.
• KitHub’s dashboard shows your Feeds numbers: unread, saved to read, read this week and minutes listened.
• Polish: the settings’ layout, cards with long feed names on a phone, and Listening’s list. Marking something read sends only what changes.
• The listening test page is gone: the player does everything it tested.

KitDB v1.1.6 September 2026

Listening.

• 🎧 Listen to any article, read aloud in the voice you choose. Made once, then free to play again, on any device.
• It plays in KitHub’s player, on top of the dock in every app, tucking into KitDB’s icon while you are elsewhere, with the lock screen’s and headphones’ controls.
• The paragraph being read is marked; tap any paragraph to play from it. Where you stopped is kept.
• Listening, in the panel: a queue that plays one after another, the next made while the one before plays.
• Listening settings: voices with samples and prices, speed, your own cap and an “ask first” amount, and this device’s own voice for free.

KitDB v1.1.5 September 2026

• Fixed: with a Draft’s outline open, the whole page moved in from every edge — which looked like a zoom when switching to the Draft — and the lines under the top bar and beside the panel stopped short of the screen’s edges. The Draft’s scene headings were also shrunk to small capitals. One class name was doing two jobs; it now does one.
• On a phone, the reader’s bar is one line of short buttons.

KitDB v1.1.4 September 2026

Highlights and notes.

• Highlight any words in an article, in four colours, with a note if you like. Tap a highlight to edit its note, change its colour or remove it. Highlights find their place again if an article changes a little.
• Highlights, in the panel, lists every article you have highlighted. A highlighted article is kept for good.
• Send to a note turns an article’s highlights into a note, with a link back to it; sending again adds the new ones.
• Feeds and folders move up and down in their ⋯. A feed that has moved for good is marked ↪ and can be followed to its new address. Sites that turn KitDB away are asked again as an ordinary browser.
• Fixed: Aa and ⋯ in the reader opened and closed again at once.
• Fixed: on a phone the reader sat under KitDB’s top bar and its tabs; it now fills the screen.
• An article’s link in a note opens Feeds on All, not wherever Feeds was left.
• Opening a Draft, another part of a project, or the Draft’s outline no longer zooms: it fades in at its own size.

KitDB v1.1.3 September 2026

• Fixed: tapping an article’s link in a note switched the panel to Feeds but left the Notes list on the page. It now opens the article in the reader, with the river beside it. The same was true of tapping the Feeds tab with a note open.
• On a phone, the reader’s bar slides away as you read down, so the article fills the screen, and comes back as soon as you scroll up.

KitDB v1.1.2 September 2026

The reader.

• Articles open in KitDB: beside the river on a computer, as a sheet on a phone, cleaned so nothing in them can run, with a reading time and pictures.
• Full article (w, or pull down on a phone) fetches the page and takes the story out of it, for feeds that send a teaser. A feed can be set to do it every time.
• Saved (s), a read-later queue with Done, and Favorites (f). Either keeps the article’s text in your own file for good.
• An article is marked read when you reach its bottom.
• Pictures, in articles and on the cards, come through KitDB, so no site learns who reads what or when.
• Search above the river, and Aa for text size, width and letters.
• Link an article from a note: type / and its title. The article lists the notes that link to it.

KitDB v1.1.1 September 2026

• Fixed: every Sixth Tone article showed as a few minutes old. Its feed gives the day without a time (“Sep 24, 2026”), which Feeds did not understand. An article that arrives on its day now shows when it arrived; an older one shows its day. Every feed is fetched again once, so articles already in are put right.

KitDB v1.1.0 September 2026

Feeds: your own feed reader, as a third tab.

• Feeds, beside Notes and Projects: follow feeds, in folders, and read them all together or folder by folder. The server fetches them, so they keep up while every device is closed.
• + Feed takes any address — a feed, a Substack, a blog, a YouTube channel, a subreddit, Medium, Bluesky or Mastodon — finds its feed and shows its latest items first.
• The river: unread or all, newest or oldest first, grouped by day, loading more as you scroll, with Mark all read and ↻ to check now. Keys on a computer: j, k, m, o and r.
• Import from Inoreader and Export as OPML, keeping folders. Ethan’s 36 Inoreader feeds, in their six folders, are already in.
• Each feed is checked about twice as often as it posts, and less after it fails; a feed that has not worked for three days is flagged, with the reason.
• KitDB will not fetch any address on a private or local network, including KitHub’s own.
• Listening cost estimates now use what OpenRouter actually charged: Kokoro is listed at $4 a million characters and charged at $0.62.
• Inside KitHub, the listening test’s player now sits on top of the dock.

KitDB v1.0.4 September 2026

• Fixed: inside KitHub, the dock covered the listening test’s player. Once audio starts, the dock now tucks away to a small tab with a caret, and the player sits just above it.

KitDB v1.0.3 September 2026

A listening test, the first step towards Feeds.

• 🎧 Listening test, in the menu. It has an article read aloud by a voice you choose and plays it here, to check that listening keeps going with your phone locked, with the lock-screen buttons, before Feeds is built around it. It ends with a checklist and Copy results.
• Voices come from OpenRouter, paid per use from prepaid credits. Smaller makers are listed first; xAI, OpenAI and Anthropic are not offered.
• Each of you has a monthly spending cap, $2 unless it is changed on the server. Anything that would pass it is refused before it is made, and what each request actually cost is recorded in your own file and in your export.
• An article is spoken a paragraph at a time and joined into one file, which is what lets a phone keep playing it, and lets you tap a paragraph to hear it.

KitDB v1.0.2 September 2026

• Fixed: opening the sample project’s Writing plan board froze the page. Two of its cards had been stored with no checklist at all, rather than an empty one, and the board could not be drawn. The board is mended when KitHub starts, and nothing on it was lost.
• KitDB now reads every list in a stored document safely, and if something still cannot be shown, it says so in place instead of leaving the page stuck.

KitDB v1.0.1 September 2026

• A sample project for each of you, Sample — The Salt Road, using everything: a Draft in parts, chapters and scenes; three characters with pictures, character maps and views of each other; two central themes with each character’s perspective; a timeline following the Draft by scene, with lanes and linked entries; a Kanban board with labels, due dates, checklists and notes; and notes with lists, a table, a code block and links. Start here, inside it, says what to try. It is yours to change or delete, and will not come back.
• A cleaner project page: the buttons to make things, and the project’s numbers — words in the Draft, how many characters, timelines, boards and notes, what you worked on last and when it began. What is in the project is in the panel, under its ▸, which opens by itself when you open the project.
• A project with characters has a Themes button beside the others, for its central themes and perspectives.

KitDB v1.0 September 2026

Offline — and KitDB is complete.

• Works with no connection. Everything already opened on a device can be read and edited offline, and new notes and items can be made. KitDB opens offline on its own address or its installed app; signing in still needs a connection.
• Nothing typed is lost. Every change is kept on the device first, in an outbox, and leaves it only once the server has confirmed it — so closing the app, losing signal or the phone dying loses nothing. Back online, it all goes, in order.
• Never an overwrite. If something changed elsewhere while a device was offline, that device’s version is kept beside it as a conflicted copy (“Plan — from phone, 14 Oct 3:10pm”), and both stay.
• A line at the top says Offline — 3 changes waiting, then goes once they have gone.
• Signing out of KitDB on a device removes everything it kept there. (If it asks first, it is because some changes have not reached the server yet.)
• Central themes can be written from a project’s first character, and each character’s sheet lists them, for their view of each — which also shows on the Perspectives board, beside how they cope and how they relate to the main character.
• Every field of How the urge shows up has an example to start from.
• Drag entries around a timeline, by mouse, or on a phone by pressing and holding: into any lane at any point. A tap still opens one.

KitDB v0.9 September 2026

Timelines.

• Timelines, in any project, along one axis: the Draft’s scenes or chapters, dates, or points of your own (Day 1, Year 12…). A new one follows the project’s Draft by scene.
• Linked to the Draft. By scene or chapter, the axis is the Draft’s own: reorder the Draft and the timeline follows; move a scene or chapter along the timeline and it moves in the Draft, with everything in it. Tap a scene on the axis to open it in the Draft.
• Lanes across the axis, for plotlines or characters: add, rename, colour, reorder, fold and delete.
• Entries sit in a lane (or none) at a point on the axis: a title and a note, where 📎 links the characters and anything else involved. Entries not yet placed wait at the foot.
• On a phone, a timeline becomes a list down the page, with the axis as headings and lanes as coloured tags.
• Link chips on Kanban cards and timeline entries now show in the linked note’s Linked from.
• The swipe that brings the panel in now works in Projects too.
• On a phone, a note opening slid in twice; it now arrives once.
• The character sheet is more compact, without Aliases, and its picture has a ✕ to remove it.

KitDB v0.8 September 2026

Characters, Perspectives, and their views on each other.

• Characters, in any project, laid out as the Character Map sheet: a profile — picture, name, aliases, role, appearance, description, backstory — then the character map, with the subconscious (the core urge, “In order to survive / get my needs met, I must…”, and where it came from) beside the conscious (the stated belief, the lie, and how the urge shows up in goals, relationships, lifestyle, presentation and dialogue). The fields blend into the page like everything you write in. A project shows its characters as a gallery of pictures, with their roles.
• Perspectives appears in a project once it has two characters: a shared general negative experience at the centre, the main character chosen, and around it every character’s coping strategy and relationship to the main one. + Theme adds another.
• Views on each other: at the foot of each character, what they think of every other character in the project — reached from their page, or from Perspectives.
• Files and photos on Kanban cards: attach any file up to 25 MB, or drop files onto an open card. Photos show as thumbnails and are scaled down first; anything else downloads under its own name. A card shows 📎 and how many.
• A card’s notes have a toolbar: bold, italic, strikethrough, a heading, bullet, numbered and checkbox lists, quotes, code, web links, links to notes and records, pictures, and undo.
• Opening something zooms in a touch, and going back settles out, so the change of layout reads as moving closer.
• Fixed: Kanban boards disappeared from their project’s page and the panel after the page was reloaded. They were always saved; they now show again.

KitDB v0.7 September 2026

Kanban boards.

• Boards, in any project: columns of cards, starting with To do, Doing and Done. Add, rename, reorder and delete columns; type in a column to add a card.
• Move a card by dragging it, or on a phone by pressing and holding it, then moving. A space opens where it will land; the board scrolls sideways when you hold a card near its edge.
• A card opens to its title, its column, a due date (shown in red once it has passed), labels, a checklist, and notes written like any note.
• Labels belong to the board, each with a colour; tap one above the columns to show only its cards.
• A board has History, the trash, sharing, search and exports like everything else.
• In the panel, a project has a caret like a folder, showing everything in it; and one folder, or one project, opens at a time — opening another folds the first. Folders start folded.
• Projects has its own Trash, for items from projects.
• Birthdays no longer stays lit in the panel after you go somewhere else.
• The Birthdays date pickers are the full size of the name box.
• The Draft’s Outline sits in its own column under the header instead of over its corner.

KitDB v0.6 September 2026

Projects, and the first thing in them: the Draft.

• Projects. The Projects tab lists your projects in the panel: add, rename, give an icon, reorder and archive them. A project opens to its items, grouped by kind, with New for another. A new project starts with a Draft.
• The Draft is one long page for the writing itself, made of parts, chapters and scenes — headings you add from the / menu — each with an optional subheading.
• Outline, beside the Draft on a computer and slid in on a phone: every part, chapter and scene with its word count and the total. Tap one to jump to it; drag, or use ↑ ↓, to move it with everything in it.
• Focus fades everything away but the writing, and in the writing everything but the paragraph you are in. Escape, or Leave focus, brings it back.
• Export any note or Draft as Markdown or as a Word file, from its ⋯ menu. In Word, parts, chapters and scenes are headings, so Word’s navigation and contents see them.
• Notes in a project work like any note, and live with the project rather than among your folders. The quick switcher finds them too.
• Birthdays is a button of its own, right under Home, and no longer appears in lists. All notes moves under the Inbox.
• A folder’s page shows its notes; its folders are in the panel only.
• Dropdowns and tick boxes follow the theme.

KitDB v0.5 September 2026

Birthdays, and finding your way round a lot of notes.

• The Birthdays note, pinned to Home for each of you. Add a person with their birthday (the year is optional and gives their age); they are listed by whose comes next. Open someone for their gift ideas — tick them off as they are bought — and their reminders: on the day, a day, three days, a week, two weeks or a month before, or any number of days.
• Reminders on every KitHub page. On a reminder’s day a line appears at the top of the hub and every app until you dismiss it, and comes back at the next reminder. A missed day still shows. Only in your own signed-in browsers, and only names and dates.
• Sort and filter any list. Last edited, newest or oldest, by name either way, longest or shortest; filter by tags, by when a note was made or last edited (today, the last week, month or year, or between two dates), by what is in it — unticked boxes, pictures, links — and by whether it is shared or pinned.
• All notes, in the panel: every note in one list, to sort and filter.
• Tables and code blocks have a bar of their own, on the block, while you are in one: rows, columns, the header row and Remove table; or the code’s language and Not code.
• { } in the toolbar makes a coloured code block ( is for a word of code inside a sentence), and a new block starts in the language you used last, since guessing from a few lines often goes wrong.
• The page you write on runs all the way down to the dock; tap anywhere below the last line to carry on.
• A folder with nothing inside it no longer keeps a gap where the open-and-close arrow would be.

KitDB v0.4 September 2026

Sharing, and some polish.

• Share a note with the other person, to read or to edit: 👥 Share, in the note’s properties or its ⋯ menu. It stays yours, in your folders; they find it under Shared with me. Taking the share away, or putting the note in the trash, ends it at once.
• Who else is here. While a shared note is open, a line at the top says when the other person has it open or is typing in it.
• Their changes come in by themselves. When they save and you have nothing unsaved, their version appears within a few seconds. If you are in the middle of a change, you are asked which to keep instead — never overwritten — and History says who wrote each version.
• The same happens between two of your own devices.
• Pictures in a shared note open for the person it is shared with.
• Folder icons. A folder’s ⋯ → Icon… picks any emoji for it, from a grid or typed in.
• Tables of any size. Point at a grid to choose up to eight by eight, or type any size, with or without a header row.
• Coloured code. Code blocks colour keywords, strings, numbers and comments, in two dozen languages, guessed or chosen from the toolbar.
• The page you write on has no frame round it any more, and no ring when you click into it: it is just the page.
• The Inbox lists notes only; folders are in the panel.

KitDB v0.3 September 2026

Links, pictures and tables.

• The / menu. Type / at the start of a line or after a space for headings, lists, checkboxes, a table, a quote, a divider, a picture, a code block, or a link. Keep typing to narrow it; ↑ ↓ and Enter choose.
• Link to anything. 📎, or Link to… in the / menu, finds a note or a record in any Kit app — a book, film, game, album, recipe, garment or trinket — and puts it in the note as a chip with its picture. Tapping a chip opens it: another note here, or the record in its own app. A chip for something since deleted is struck through rather than lost.
• What links here, at the foot of every note: the notes that link to it.
• Pictures, from 🖼, the / menu, or pasted or dropped straight into a note. Photos are scaled down on the device first. Only you can open them.
• Tables, with buttons to add and delete rows and columns and turn the header row on or off while you are in one.
• Code blocks.
• On a phone the ☰ panel button is on the left, where the panel opens, and a swipe to the right anywhere brings the panel in; a swipe to the left puts it away.
• Backups' Markdown copies carry links, tables and pictures.

KitDB v0.2 September 2026

Notes, properly.

• A real editor. Bold, italic, strikethrough and code; three sizes of heading; bullet, numbered and checkbox lists; quotes, dividers and web links. The toolbar sits above the note on a computer, and rides above the keyboard on a phone. The usual keyboard shortcuts work.
• Title, subtitle and properties. A large title, a lighter subtitle, and a row of chips for the note’s folder, its tags, and its pins.
• Folders inside folders, in a panel on the left: pinned beside the page on a computer, or hidden and slid out when wanted; on a phone it slides in from the left, with ☰ or a swipe from the edge. New notes land in the Inbox, or in the folder you are in. Deleting a folder sends its notes to the Inbox and moves its folders up a level; nothing inside is deleted.
• Tags, typed in or picked from the ones you have. Rename, merge and delete them under Manage tags; the notes follow without being edited.
• Pins. Pin a note to the top of its folder, or to Home, which also lists what you worked on most recently.
• Search and the quick switcher. Ctrl K (⌘K on a Mac), or 🔍 on a phone: pinned and recent notes before you type, and every note’s title, subtitle and text as you do.
• Filing, tagging and pinning are not edits: they never make a new version, and never make a save on another device collide.
• History previews show a version as it looked, formatting and all.
• On a phone a note fills the screen; the ✕ or the back button returns to the list.
• Backups keep each note’s Markdown copy in its folder, with its tags.
• Notes from v0.1 open in the new editor exactly as they were.

KitDB v0.1.1 September 2026

• Fixed: signing in could say the account was not allowed when it was. The allow-list in the server settings now accepts a user id copied from Auth0’s address bar (where the | shows as %7C), with quotes or the example’s brackets left on, and a name in any case (ethan is Ethan).
• When an account really is refused, the server log now says which id tried and which ids are allowed, and at start-up it lists who can sign in.

KitDB v0.1 September 2026

The foundations: signing in, keeping each person's notes apart, and never losing a version.

• Its own sign-in, through Auth0. A KitHub password does not open it. After the first sign-in on a device, Auth0 offers a passkey, so later sign-ins are a fingerprint, a face or the device PIN.
• Sessions last 60 days of not being used, and are checked with Auth0 once a day, so an account switched off there is cut off within a day. See and end them under Signed-in devices.
• Each of you has your own file. Nothing one person writes can be opened by the other.
• Every save is kept. History shows one entry per editing session, with a preview, and Restore saves an old version as a new one, so a restore can be undone too.
• Two devices cannot overwrite each other. A save made on an out-of-date copy is stopped, and you choose which version to keep; both stay in history.
• Trash, with restore. Nothing is deleted until you empty it.
• Notes are plain text for now. The editor, folders, tags and pins come next, and nothing written now needs converting.
• In the nightly backup: both people's files, each person's export, and every note as a Markdown file.
