Manifesto

Community-Driven Development.

How Kajuto actually gets built.

I'm not building Kajuto from roadmap slides or quarterly OKRs. I'm building it on the principle that has served me best as a developer: disciplined dogfooding. Use it every day. Note every friction. Fix every bug. Build every missing feature. And every issue the community files on GitHub flows straight into the next build.

Eat your own dog food — with receipts.

Kajuto exists because I had lost my bearings in my own projects. Here are the real numbers from development — rules and analyses checked on real, own projects.

Source: my own portfolio, current state of development. Plus a live smoke check that boots the built app in isolation and checks it over a debug bridge — and an agent code review before every commit.

How the loop runs.

From issue to release in the tightest possible cycle.

01

Issue or discussion on GitHub

You file a feature request, bug, or question on the repo. I usually reply within 24-48h.

02

Triage onto the roadmap

I check the tracker daily. Whatever I also need — which is plenty — lands on the roadmap immediately. What doesn't fit gets an honest explanation.

03

Build in the daily driver

I build features in the Kajuto instance I use myself. If it works, I notice by the next "Decide today" at the latest.

04

Release, signed & notarized

New versions ship as a Developer-ID-signed, Apple-notarized DMG. No Gatekeeper dance, no terminal, no exception dialogs.

What you get, what I won't promise.

Promised

  • → Reply on every issue (24-48h, solo-dev honest)
  • → Frequent releases during active development
  • → An honest "no, this doesn't fit the vision" when warranted
  • → Beta free right now — after the beta a full one-month trial, then €29 one-time, all 2.x updates included
  • → No telemetry, no accounts — and you choose the AI endpoint

Not promised

  • · Free updates beyond 2.x — the license covers all 2.x versions
  • · A support SLA with response-time guarantees (solo dev)
  • · Open source — not for now
  • · Windows or Linux — Mac-only by design
  • · That every proposal is right — they stay proposals, you decide
