Kagi is search account with device clients. Your login holds plan, lenses, and history. Browsers and phones cache results and settings.
Same email means same lenses. Exact cache names shift with Orion versus extension builds. Keep signed in during swaps so history uploads. If results thin, check the login first. A second trial email is the usual missing Ultimate features cause with search apps. Screenshots of settings help when support asks for reproduction steps later. Check the in app storage readout when sizes look wrong on different releases.

%localappdata%\Kagi (browser cache, settings in cloud)

Frequently asked questions
How do I move Kagi settings to a new device?
Sign in on the new device and settings return from the account. Browsers hold login plus search cache. Custom lenses read from cloud profile. Check the email before wiping, since a second account shows free instead of Ultimate.
Does Kagi back up search history?
Yes, in the cloud account once searched while signed in. Devices hold a working copy plus cache. History rebuilds after sign in. Export lenses for records, since devices never hold the master profile alone.
