KilnThink & coordinate
Stream conversations across local and hosted providers. Give a team a goal, follow its tasks, and review the results.
Working foundation · model-dependent reliabilityA native Mac app. An open invitation.
From a spark.
To something
real.
Think with models. Build with agents. Understand binaries. Train something of your own.
One shared workshop for the whole process.
macOS · Swift & SwiftUI · Apple silicon recommended
Early development. Source available; no stable release promised.
THE IDEA
Your work crosses boundaries.
Your workspace should, too.
Development, analysis, and model experimentation belong in the same conversation. Kiln is exploring a native environment where an agent can help you move between them—with shared services, visible tool activity, and approvals for consequential actions.
INSIDE THE WORKSHOP
Different disciplines.
A common foundation.
Build & inspect
Use a real terminal, Git tools, file-name search, and MCP connections. Keep the agent close to the work.
Working utilities · full IDE plannedUnderstand what’s inside
Import binaries, inspect disassembly and strings, and run analysis tools. Connect Ghidra for deeper recovery.
Native inspection working · Ghidra setup requiredMake models your own
Explore datasets and models, track experiments, and work with Create ML and MLX training engines, including LoRA.
Real training verified · broader GUI QA ongoingEVIDENCE, NOT PROMISES
Small proofs.
Real work.
5
Provider chat paths
Correct live responses through the app’s session layer from Apple Foundation Models, Ollama, Ollama Cloud, NVIDIA NIM, and OpenRouter.
150
Training iterations
A small transformer trained from scratch, saved its weights, and generated text. A separate real LoRA smoke run saved an adapter.
3
Workers, one artifact
A hosted researcher, implementer, and reviewer completed a real file-summary task with an intact audit chain.

BUILD THE NEXT CHAPTER
A workshop gets better
with more hands.
Bring your Swift experience, your sharpest bug report, your real-world workflow, or your eye for good design. Help turn a promising foundation into a tool people can depend on.
