Sign In & Account Setup

Kognar Platform requires an account to save your conversation history, settings, folders, and personalized memory. Your account keeps everything in sync and protected.

Creating an account​

If you don't have an account yet, click Create account on the login screen. This opens the Kognar registration page in your browser, where you can sign up with an email address.

Signing in​

Email and Password​

  1. Open Kognar Platform.
  2. Enter your email address and password.
  3. Click Sign In.

If you forgot your password, click Forgot password? and follow the instructions sent to your email.

Google​

  1. On the login screen, click Continue with Google.
  2. Your system browser will open with a Google sign-in page.
  3. Complete the authentication in the browser.
  4. Kognar Platform will automatically sign you in once complete.

Apple​

  1. On the login screen, click Continue with Apple.
  2. Complete Apple Sign-In in your system browser.
  3. Return to the app — you'll be signed in automatically.

Staying signed in​

Your session persists between app restarts. Authentication tokens are refreshed automatically in the background so you won't be unexpectedly signed out during use.

Signing out​

To sign out:

  1. Click the Settings icon (bottom of the sidebar or Ctrl/Cmd+U).
  2. Go to General.
  3. Click Logout at the bottom of the section.

You'll be returned to the login screen. All locally stored session data is cleared.

Anonymous (Incognito) mode​

If you want to use Kognar without saving anything, use Anonymous mode:

  • On macOS: Press Shift+Cmd+I or go to File > Use Incognito
  • On Windows/Linux: Go to File > Use Incognito

In anonymous mode:

  • No conversation history is saved
  • No files or attachments are stored
  • All data is discarded when the window is closed
  • You can still use models, Web Search, and file attachments
tip

Anonymous mode is great for sensitive or exploratory conversations you don't want to keep.

Account-specific data​

All of the following are tied to your account and are not shared between users:

  • Conversation history
  • Folders and their settings
  • Global memory
  • Custom agents and rules
  • App settings and preferences
