Your data

On a normal computer you spend a surprising amount of time being a filing clerk — naming files, choosing folders, remembering where you put things. Kiki takes that job away. You don't manage a filesystem. Your stuff lives where it makes sense, and Kiki (and search) find it for you.

Where your stuff lives

  • Inside the app that made it. Your notes live in the notes app, your photos in the photos app — organized the way that app presents them. You open the app; the data is there. You don't think about folders.
  • In your vault — a private, personal space that syncs across your devices. Things you want everywhere, or shared between apps in a controlled way, live here.

You can open a files app to see the raw filesystem — downloads, things you imported, a code project — but it's a deliberate, opt-in tool, not your daily reality.

Finding things

Just ask. "Find the draft about the Q2 budget." Kiki searches across your apps and hands you the result — no remembering filenames or folder paths.

Sharing between apps

Need a note in an email, or a photo in a chat? You share it, and Kiki shows the apps that can receive it. The actual thing moves — not a file you have to save and re-open somewhere else.

You stay in control

  • Apps see only what you allow. Each app gets its own private space; access to your vault or shared folders is granted by you, per app, and revocable in Settings. (See Apps & the store.)
  • Backups are automatic — if you opt in, your app data and vault back up to the cloud, and you see one simple status in Settings.
  • Your data is yours. Sync is opt-in. Nothing leaves your device unless you choose it.

On your devices, together

With the cloud connecting them, your vault follows you across every device. If you're part of a team, a shared vault lets the team work from the same data — again, scoped to exactly what each person is allowed to see.
