Roadmap & status

Khiip launched publicly on 2026-06-27 — khiip 0.2.0 on PyPI, the repository public, and the Obsidian plugin released. The current base release is 0.2.3. For the exact version of every user-facing piece — the base daemon, the Khiip Plus add-on, and the Obsidian plugin — plus how to update each, see Releases.

Works today (v0.2.x)

  • Five source extractors emit typed payloads — X / Reddit / Web / Wikipedia / YouTube. PDF capture is experimental (not yet a first-class source).
  • Typed payloads end-to-end: extractor → vault frontmatter (canonical) → SQLite (derived) → recall
  • Renderer Protocol + Registry with a REST ?format= selector — the base ships JSON, vault-frontmatter, and plain-Markdown renders; the polished per-source styled renders are Khiip Plus
  • Media-fetcher registry (HttpxFetcher + opt-in YtDlpFetcher + GalleryDlFetcher)
  • Source-tier raw-bytes preservation under a user-configurable data_root
  • MiniLM-L6 semantic recall (zero LLM cost, offline after the first model fetch)
  • Wayback witness (opt-in; off by default — anonymous archive.org SPN is rate-limited)
  • Capture-what-we-can failure handling + in-vault status indicators
  • khiipd validate + khiipd refetch (extraction / re-extract / re-render / media / wayback)
  • Opt-in video preservation ([media] download_videos)
  • MCP server — six tools over stdio for Claude Desktop / Cursor / any MCP client
  • REST API — capture, recall, list, and refetch on 127.0.0.1:8478
  • Obsidian plugin (v0.2.4) — capture command + recall sidebar over the plain-Markdown vault
  • Khiip Plus (paid add-on) — styled per-source renders + deeper social/comment-tree capture depth

Ahead

No committed versions — this is direction, not a schedule.

  • Typed knowledge-graph read/write API — the edge vocabulary and storage schema are defined and live in the substrate; the surface to create and query edges is not yet built
  • Pluggable embedders — local LLM (Ollama), BYOK (OpenAI / Anthropic / Gemini), BM25 keyword fallback
  • Richer Obsidian plugin UI — typed-payload rendering, status indicators, refetch controls
  • More sources — Instagram, TikTok, Threads, Bluesky; first-class PDF with a file-drop flow
  • Reliable Wayback archiving — bring-your-own archive.org credentials past the anonymous rate-limit
  • Managed / hosted tiers — a cloud Source-tier and video archive with transcription
