Release notes

What changed in each version of Kujaku, what it requires, and what it does not do yet.

August 24, 2026

1.0.1

A maintenance release that temporarily withdraws the public tag-concept workflow and returns the interface to saved tags.

Changes

  • Tag concepts are temporarily hidden from the tag popover, image details, image context menus, tag suggestions, and active filters while their purpose and workflow are redesigned.
  • Normal saved-tag creation, suggestions, filtering, and clearing remain available.

Existing data

  • Existing concepts, aliases, and manual image assignments are not deleted. They remain in the local database and can be reused if the feature is published again.
  • The database schema is not rolled back, and folder synchronization and index rebuilding continue to preserve this user-owned data.

1.0.0

The first public release of Kujaku. Everything it does with your images and their metadata happens on your Mac.

What it does

  • Register the folders you choose, then search and organize the images inside them, subfolders included.
  • Read generation metadata into a search index: NovelAI first, plus ComfyUI, Automatic1111 (SD WebUI), and StableSwarmUI PNG metadata.
  • Inspect the prompt, negative prompt, seed, model, sampler, and step count for any image, and copy any of them with one click.
  • Narrow the library by combining tags, by aspect ratio, by favorites, and by delete candidates.
  • Compare images in the thumbnail grid, the preview, and the slideshow.
  • Mark images you no longer want as delete candidates, review them together later, and only then move them to the Trash. Nothing is deleted without that confirmation.
  • Check for updates from the app menu. An update is never installed without your confirmation.
  • Open support, the privacy policy, and the open-source licenses from the Help menu, and copy the details a support request needs in one step.

Requirements

  • macOS 26.0 or later
  • A Mac with Apple Silicon (M1 or later)

Known limitations

  • No cloud sync, no online accounts, no NovelAI API integration.
  • An image whose generation metadata has been stripped is indexed as an image without generation details.
  • Kujaku is not an official or affiliated NovelAI app. The name appears only to describe the metadata formats it reads.

Distribution and updates

  • The download is signed with a Developer ID certificate and notarized by Apple.
  • An update check reaches only files under https://kujaku.app. It sends no images, prompts, or generation metadata.
  • No usage data is collected.
