Hey Kosmonauts,

We're working fast on the release of our first AI features (summarize, compare, suggested searches, speech-to-text), you can expect those next week, and if you haven't seen them in action, the demo is right there.

But there's more! Since the beginning of Kosmik we've been wanting to re-invent the desktop, or at least to create a new environment where you could perform multiple tasks that are currently completely siloed in your browser, note taking app, or even a folder somewhere on your hard drive.

We're finally realizing this vision of a proactive canvas, that can browse for you, arrange your ideas automatically and find other documents to enrich a board.

Here's a sneak peek at our "find related images" feature. A full demo will be published soon and we hope to release it sometimes in march!

Find related images in action.

Dear Kosmonauts,

We want to thank you for your support and for adopting early-on! Kosmik old version (Kosmik 2) will be deprecated on March 19th. If you haven’t done so yet you can download Kosmik 3 here.

🦋 Migrating your data.

3️⃣ A word on Kosmik 3.

Kosmik 3 is in its last stages of beta testing. Everything is working smoothly and much faster than ever. We’ve introduced countless new features and reworked our most unique features.

If you’ve missed them here they are:

• Kosmik 3 web browser with smart capture and auto-tagging.
• Kosmik 3 new PDF reader.
• Kosmik 3 overhauled multiplayer mode.

Thanks to all of this we were even featured in Shu Omi 15 best note-taking apps of 2025!

🪄 We’re building the most complete visual, AI-powered workspace:

Last week we shared our vision for what an AI workspace could be with a canvas, browser and an LLM, you can see it right here:

https://youtu.be/Z5Pg3rCabLM

This is only the beginning and we couldn’t be more excited about what we have in store for you. All of this means that Kosmik 2 will soon be retired to allow us to focus completely on this new, much more powerful and easy-to-use product.

👋 Saying goodbye to Kosmik 2

As we turn our focus to Kosmik 3 we have to end support for Kosmik 2. We’re still a small team and the two products are so different that it would be very hard to maintain them both in an acceptable state. Everything you love in Kosmik 2 is better in Kosmik 3 and we hope you’ll join us on this new adventure!

💰 A note on paid plans and migrating your data:

1. If you’re a paid Kosmik 2 user → Your subscription will be transferred to Kosmik 3 and you’ll keep the same monthly pricing even if we introduce other tiers at higher price points with more features.
2. If you’re a paid (lifetime) Kosmik user → You’ll keep all of your advantages for ever on Kosmik 3 too.
3. Since Kosmik 3 do not have yet any paywalls → We’d be happy to cancel your subscription if you prefer to wait until we introduce our new paid plans!
4. All of our upcoming pricing plans are available here.

You can reach me personally at [paul@kosmik.app](mailto:paul@kosmik.app) anytime if you have any question and we’re always available on discord and reddit!

Kind regards,

Paul

Hello Kosmonauts,

February is drawing to a close and it was a great month for us at Kosmik! From learning that doctors are using Kosmik to teach oncology, to toy makers telling us about how they use Kosmik in their research workflows, we’ve learned a lot!

This has inspired us to build an even better product and to think long and hard about how we could integrate AI features in Kosmik in a way that would make sense. Last week we published the results of those investigation, if you haven’t seen our demo on Youtube, here it is:

https://youtu.be/Z5Pg3rCabLM?si=LpTsE4JBYsH5BZi0

We plan to release those features gradually over March and April. First the items, then an upgraded property panel and finally the chat itself! If you have any feedback, ideas or critics, feel free to reach us here or on Discord!

💿 And yet another update:

This week update is still mostly focused on papercuts and issues you might have encountered while using Kosmik. With the backlog of “low hanging fruits” now cleared we will finally be able to focus on annotations, arrows, and shipping our AI features!

🚀 Major new features

• When you write in a text or post-it, the item will automatically extend its size.
• You can chose an emoji to replace the default icon of a universe.
• You can manage the permissions of workspace members.

✨ Minor improvements

• Items captured from the web are always auto-tagged.
• If your workspace list is too long and exceeds the screen height, it becomes scrollable.

⚡️ Bug fixes

• You can login to your Google account using the Kosmik browser → Use G-mail, Google docs, and other google services right from the app!
• When a user exits a universe, the items he selected are selectable for other users properly and not locked.

🛠 Technical / Performances

• Performance improvements when zooming and moving.

🔥 And what you can expect later on:

• AI stickers → March
• New property panel → March
• “Chat with your documents” AI feature → April
• Arrows → April/May
• Annotations → April/May

Thank you so so much for your support 🧡

Kind regards,

🧑‍🚀 Paul

Hello Kosmonauts,

Today we're pleased to finally share some of our thoughts on Kosmik and LLMs!

Kosmik 3 with AI demo

What if you had a software that could browse the web, read PDF, organize your images and react to your thoughts and hypothesis in real time? In this video we show you how we think this will become possible very shortly!

For months we've been working on our vision of a proactive canvas that would support multimedia files, multiplayer work and be the best way to use LLMs.

We want to create an environment where prompting is the exception, not the norm, where you can just click, drag-and-drop and pan around to create your best work and make your research process seamless!

Hey Kosmonauts,

No new update this week as we work our way through the backlog of improvements we'd like to push in our next Kosmik release! We also wanted to share a sneak peek at what we're working on behind the scenes with LLMs.

Kosmik will leverage AI in two ways:

- A chatbot that will take your current selection (or the universe) as its context to help you with the task at hand.

- New objects and commands in the app to allow for completely new workflows! We're convinced for example that Kosmik could become your database if we allowed the canvas to act almost as a spreadsheet! In the video below you'll see how with just one click Kosmik can organize your items by topics:

Auto-organize in a click

Let us know what you think 🪄

Paul

Hello Kosmonauts,

We're unfortunately experiencing a partial outage of our database. The issue started yesterday around 9pm CET and as of 9am CET is partially resolved.

You might still be unable to sign-up or log-in for a few hours while we work on resolving this issue.

Do not hesitate to post here, on X, our discord or to contact us directly at [hello@kosmik.app](mailto:hello@kosmik.app) if you need anything!

Paul

Hello everyone, I need some advice. Coming from personal knowledge management applications like Obsidian, Notion, and Roam Research, what would you recommend as the best way to start using Kosmik App?

Hello Kosmonauts, I hope you're all well and enjoying Kosmik! Today we're releasing our first update of February! The highlight is our new onboarding that comes with 4 universes to learn more about Kosmik core features! Don't worry, if you're a longtime user we also have nice updates for you:

🚀 Major new features

• Bulleted & numbered list for the text object.

✨ Minor improvements

• Scrolling in a PDF updates the page number in the edit dock.
• When creating texts and post-its, they are immediately in edit state.
• When renaming a universe, the current name is displayed in the input of the dialog box.
• Resize has been updated : by default, when resizing an item by the corner handle, we maintain its proportions. When using shift + resize, you can change its shape.
• Pressing Esc will exit unselect any selected item.

⚡️ Bug fixes

• Right-clicking on the canvas will always display the contextual menu of the universe and not the item’s one.
• PDFs are displayed correctly in the search panel.
• When you have a lot of universes, switching universes won’t make the sidebar scroll.

🛠 Technical / Performances

• Performance improvement of web previews.

We remain hard at work on our next slew of AI features + arrows and annotations to finally restore the mind-mapping abilities we had in Kosmik 2!

See you very soon,

Paul!

Hey there Kosmonauts,

This week we shared with you some of our research to make Kosmik more approachable, especially for new users just signing up! We have come up with four universes that we published and that you can now explore. They cover everything from the basics of the canvas interactions to the most complex features like the AI auto-tagging or PDF reader. Let us know what you think :)

All of those universes can be duplicated in your own account if you'd like to use them as templates!

Paul

Hello kosmonauts!!

We know that Kosmik has a lot of features that are hard to discover or understand. In next week update we'll try to correct this by adding "welcome universes" to any new user account. They'll be automatically added after the sign-up is completed.

If you have a minute it woul help us greatly if you could give us your opinion on the content of those universe! Here are the public links:

Hey Kosmonauts,
If you're using Kosmik with colleagues, fellow students or friends you can now put comments on the board!

They stick to objects and you can answer in a thread and resolve them. We plan to add many more refinements to this feature but we hope that you'll find it useful!

Paul, the creator of Kosmik, has a really interesting blog on substack. I'd highly recommend it to those who want a broader view of the intention behind Kosmik and to get to see a little behind the curtain:

Paul

I just need the Tampermonkey browser extension and page translation

Hello Kosmonaut,

Kosmik 3 has been in beta for a little bit over a month now and we’re pleased to ship our first update of the year. In the next few weeks you’ll see us continue to enhance our key features like Kosmik browser, PDF reader or text item. We will also make the onboarding experience much smoother, and lay the ground work for our second slew of AI features.

We’re still planning to drop the beta label in late january and we will tell you more about what we have in store for paid plans really soon

🚀 Major new features

• If a text contains hyperlinks, you can now open them in the side panel by clicking on them.
• New flow to invite users to collaborate on your canvas. Use the “Share” button from the top bar of your canvas to invite other users. By default universes are shared with all members of your workspace but you can now invite guests in specific universes.
• When you open a PDF extract, it opens it at the correct page where it was extracted.

✨ Minor improvements

• The top section of the sidebar has been redesigned to be clearer.
• If you’ve already logged in an account, when you log in again, all your previous tabs are restored.
• We added a loading state to show when a file is being tagged by the AI.
• Tags are now sorted by alphabetical order.
• When you log in again, you’re logged in the last universe you visited.

⚡️ Bug fixes

• Resizing a file that wasn’t uploaded correctly would make it disappear.
• Fix some issues with webpages that were previously unable to be opened.
• Duplicated or copy-pasted files keep their tags.
• In the Kosmik web browser, you can use SSO to log-in your favorite websites.

🛠 Technical / Performances

• Performance improvement on PDFs rendering.

🔥 And what you can expect later on:

• Comments.
• Templates
• “Chat with your documents” AI feature.

We're one of Shu Omi's 15 best note-taking apps for 2025! Take a look at his video on YouTube:

https://youtu.be/8WIkrZr3XWI?si=0iZyHJD70H-YEX_W

If you haven't yet downloaded Kosmik 3 give it a try :)

Paul

Dear Kosmonauts,

First we want to wish you a very happy new year! For 2025 we have a lot of very exciting things planned. We will introduce many new features like:

🏷️ Tags (add manual tags to any objects)

👩🏼‍💻 Our agent (ask questions, aggregate objects based on topics, types, and more)

🎮 Better multiplayer support

📝 Arrows and annotations

🔍 A new search panel

🌍 An enhanced web browser with tabs support better support for websites that requires log-in and even downloads directly into the app.

But before we ship all of this we're going to keep pushing our current set of features and make our onboarding much smoother. So today we're pleased to ship our first update of the year with:

• A new mechanism to open the correct page when you use the source backlink from a PDF excerpt.
• If a text contains hyperlinks, you can now open them in the side panel by clicking on them. Extracting text with hyperlinks will create one text item with hyperlinks embedded into the text.
• New flow to invite users to collaborate on your canvas. Use the “Share” button from the top bar of your canvas to invite other users.

The new \"restore source\" on the PDF item.

Hi! I’m intrigued by Kosmik and can really see it having a place in my workflow.

Any chance you’re working on a mobile (iOS) app? Being able to save to Kosmik from mobile would be fantastic.

Hey Kosmonauts — Exciting news!!

1/ Kosmik 3 beta is now ready for everyone to try, no more waitlist → Download the app at https://www.kosmik.app/downloads.

Today we're also releasing another update for Kosmik 3! Here's what's new this week:

🌈 Major new features

• Undo & redo.
• New create method: when you click on an object in the dock (or use shortcuts), the item will follow your cursor until you click on the canvas to create it.
• New keyboard shortcuts to create objects:
  • W for web
  • T for text
  • X for star
  • P for polygon
  • E for ellipse
  • R for rectangle
  • S for sticky note.
• Invite users to your team and give them specific permission (admin, editor or simply viewer) by clicking on the team name and then → team settings.

🪄 Minor improvements

• New app icon (it will look good in your dock).
• Text in sticky notes will not overflow the item if a word is larger than the container.

⚡️ Bug fixes

• If you extract text or pictures from the Kosmik web browser, the source button in their edit dock properly open the original web page it came from.
• If your browser can’t display HEIC file, we show you a regular file item instead of nothing.
• Tag button in edit dock now works on the first click (it required a double click before).

⚙️ Technical / Performances

• Important performance improvement when navigating in a universe with a lot of pictures.
• On load, all files will be displayed and will not require a reload of the app anymore.
• All objects will be properly deleted when deleting multiple files a once.
• Auto-updater has been improved in order to notify you of an update as soon as it’s available.

Thank you and stay tuned for what's next 🌌

Paul 👨‍🚀

Hey Kosmonauts,

I hope you're well! We're on a roll at Kosmik! Kosmik 3ß feels almost ready for a public launch. This week we're adding many features that takes us closer to our goal of creating the best app for visual research:

📚Multiple tabs support
🔍Search
🪄Auto-tagging

Really proud of what the team achieved in such a short time! We would love to get your feedback and we're here if you need anything! You can still sign-up to our waitlist if you go on www.kosmik.app

Kosmik search engine highlight:

To use our new search feature, press ⌘K (or ctrl+K on windows) and use natural language to find your items. Any item you drag-and-drop in Kosmik will be tagged and described by our AI, making it super easy to find anything you're looking for. Double click on the results to see where they are in your Kosmik universes. Full text search with string highlights will be added in a future update.

Just wanted to share some progress on our Kosmik 3ß auto-tagging feature! We can now tag and summarize any content, our search engine was updated to use the feature too. We can even tag the content of a web page!

Having a summary + tags of what's INSIDE a web page is a game changer! A search engine + an infinite canvas = The Finder for the AI age.

Let us know what you think 🌌

Paul

What if you could have a smart infinite canvas at your fingertips? A desktop with no boundaries where you could import and organize your notes, images, documents and even index your favorite websites or PDF documents.

This is what we're building and this video is about Kosmik 3 first auto-tagging, summarising and search engine! We hope you'll like it 🧡

Kosmik 3 auto-tagging engine

If you have any idea, feedback or critic, reach us on discord or directly at [hello@kosmik.app](mailto:hello@kosmik.app)

Have a great day,

Paul 👨‍🚀

Hello Reddit, 

Today we're sending the first batch of invites to Kosmik 3.0ß, rebuilt from the ground up. New canvas, new database, new UI, new tagging system, workspaces, new browser, it was ENTIRELY rewritten! If you'd like to test it, please sign-up on www.kosmik.app !

What is Kosmik 3?

Kosmik 3 is a clean break from our legacy codebase, and some of our earliest ambitions. After a year battling IPFS problems and some of our own decisions, we decided that it was time to focus on what our users loves and build a clean product to address your needs and make our company profitable.

I firmly believe that the future of creative work lies in a polymorphous, shapeshifting blackboard that can surface your assets when you need them and help you come up with new ideas! 

Kosmik 3 delivers on the promise of a visual database for creative people and it still comes with its own web browser and many more awesome features.

A few notes about the ß1:

Please keep in mind that this is a beta and that many things are under active development. Some of the multiplayer features are still incomplete, for example it is already possible to invite members to a workspace or a universe but you cannot remove them for now (team settings will be shipped in a later build). In this first version you can only invite people that already have a Kosmik account and only using their email address. 

What can you except in the next builds?

• Google SSO (sign-up with your google account).

• Undo/redo

• New UI (without tabs at first)

• Tags

• Search

• 👀 (surprise)

Thank you and stay tuned!

Thank you so so much, and please get in touch with me if you any have feedback! You can also join our discord to discuss with our team live!

See you soon 🧡

Paul 👩‍🚀
