About

Kuku

Features
Read full description

Kuku is a 9×9 chart app that unites goal setting with web research. ■ Break your goal into 81 cells From a central theme to 8 elements, and from each element to 8 concrete actions. Splitting a goal across the 9×9 grid turns "what should I look into?" into 81 starting points for research. ■ Follow associations, then search In focus view, tap an element cell to drill into that element's own 9 cells. Tap a leaf cell (the theme or a sub-item) and Kuku opens an in-app web search built from the path you followed (theme → element → item). Step back to return to the level above. Purposeful research, always tied to your goal. ■ Bookmark the pages you find (free) Save any individual page you open in the in-app browser. Kuku records which cell (which path) led you there, so you can revisit everything later from one list on the home screen. ■ Let AI help with the breakdown (two ways, combine freely) - On-device AI (Apple Intelligence): free, offline drafting of all 8 elements × 64 items (supported devices only) - Cloud AI (Kuku Pro): bring your own Claude / Gemini / OpenAI / Qwen API key for high-quality, web-grounded generation Fill everything at once, one block at a time, or get a suggestion for a single cell. AI never overwrites cells you filled in yourself. ■ Privacy first No ads, no tracking, no analytics. Charts stay on your device. API keys live only in your device's keychain and are sent, only when you generate, straight to the AI provider you chose with your own key — never through a developer server. ■ Kuku Pro (one-time, non-consumable purchase) Unlimited charts (free version: 5) / Cloud AI generation / Mind map view (fully expanded, zoomable). Note: Cloud AI requires your own API key and is billed by the provider you choose.
