Kyle is shared memory for you and your AI. Ask Claude, Muse or any AI to keep something and it lands in Kyle, on a board you can see. Read it, change it, add your own. The next chat, or a different AI, finds it. SHARE A BOARD Invite someone to a board as an Editor or a Viewer. Editors add and change notes, tasks and records with you. Viewers read along and mark things for themselves. Send the invite link in Messages, Mail or AirDrop. Each person's AI can work on the board too, and knows it's shared before it writes. Inviting needs Kyle Pro. Joining is free, and boards you join don't count toward the free plan. SEE WHAT CHANGED Changed lists what moved since you last looked, board by board. Each item says who changed it and when, and which AI if it wasn't a person. That includes your own AI, so you can see what it did overnight. A NEW HOME Kyle opens on a list: Dashboard, Priority and My board at the top, then every board with its latest number or headline. On iPad and Mac it's the sidebar. • Dashboard: widgets from your boards. Priority, Today, Changed, a goal, the next flight. Arrange them yourself, or ask your AI to • Priority: everything you've marked priority, from every board, oldest first • My board: notes and to-dos that don't belong anywhere else. It used to be the Inbox • Settings: now a list of pages A LIBRARY OF BOARD IDEAS Twenty-six boards to start from, under Library. Each shows what the board looks like and gives you a prompt to copy to your AI. Some you can add with one tap. DATA BOARDS Runs, feeds, weather, weekly numbers. Your AI logs a row each time, Kyle charts it, and your AI can answer questions about it. With Kyle Pro, your AI can design a new kind of board for you. BOARDS THAT KNOW WHAT'S ON THEM Recipes with a cooking mode. A Watchlist of posters. A Library of covers. Read Later, Wishlist, Flights, Stays, Houses, Wine, Plants, Workouts and more. Your AI fills them in the right format. Plain boards hold everything else. NOTES AND TASKS • Tasks take one tap to close. Mark the important ones priority • A real markdown editor, with Read Aloud • Photos on notes, from the camera or your library • Works offline. Edits sync when you're back, and a clash keeps both versions • Siri and Spotlight find and change your notes CONNECT YOUR AI Claude connects through its connector directory with the same Apple ID you use for Kyle. Muse, Cursor, Claude Code, VS Code and any MCP client get their own steps. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Sign in with Apple, Hide My Email works, no password. Your notes are never used for training. You see what's shared before you share it, and you can delete your account from Settings at any time. FREE Connecting your AI is free, with no clock. So are search, every type of board, joining shared boards, sync and Read Aloud. The free plan has six boards in use, and empty boards don't count. Kyle Pro is for more than six boards, sharing your boards with others, and priority support. KYLE PRO Kyle Pro is an auto-renewable subscription, offered monthly or yearly. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.
