Privacy and security
Short version: your keys and prompts go only to the AI provider you choose. There is no kunji server in between.
Your API keys
Section titled “Your API keys”- Stored in your operating system’s credential store: Windows Credential Manager, macOS Keychain or Linux Secret Service (GNOME Keyring or KWallet).
- Never written to a kunji file, and always shown masked (
sk-ant••••••••3f9a). - Checked with the provider before saving; a key that’s rejected is never stored.
- Sent only to that key’s own provider, over HTTPS.
- Removed from any error message before it’s shown.
No keychain on your system (for example a server without a desktop)? Use environment variables instead. kunji never falls back to a plain-text file.
What leaves your computer
Section titled “What leaves your computer”| What | Where it goes | Turn off |
|---|---|---|
| Your messages and the API key | Only to the provider you’re chatting with | — |
| Files you attach | Only to that provider | — |
| A version check (no data about you) | PyPI, at most once a day | kunji config set updates.check false |
| Price list downloads (no data about you) | OpenRouter and GitHub, at most once a day | kunji config set network.catalog false |
kunji does not send your keys, prompts, answers, files or usage to the kunji project. There are no analytics.
What stays on your computer
Section titled “What stays on your computer”Settings, saved chats, saved prompts, usage history and caches; see Files and folders. Delete them any time.
@commit runs git diff on your computer to read your changes. kunji runs no other
programs, except pip when you choose kunji upgrade.
Plain HTTP warning
Section titled “Plain HTTP warning”For custom servers, kunji allows http:// only for addresses on your own computer or
network, and warns you about anything else because your key would travel unencrypted.
Open source
Section titled “Open source”All of this can be checked in the source code. Found a security problem? Please report it privately through GitHub security advisories.
