Key updates for September 2026

Update effective date: September 13, 2026

AI features
AI Voice Data Entry: Record your voice in the mobile app (iOS), and AI will transcribe it and automatically fill in the relevant fields of a record.

AI Voice Data Entry is now available in the kintone mobile app for iOS. Record yourself saying what you want to enter in a record, and AI works out which fields the information belongs in and reshapes it to fit the format of each one. Fill out records just by speaking naturally, without having to select and fill in fields one by one.

▼ What AI Voice Data Entry looks like in use

You can use this feature to record a sales meeting report while out of the office, or log inspection results in the field — no need to select and fill in fields one by one.
Now it's easier to quickly record information, whether you're working on-site or on the go.

5. Review and edit the information as necessary, then save the record.
* You need to update the mobile app to use this feature. The update containing this feature is scheduled for release in September. We also plan to make a similar feature available in the Android mobile app in the future.
* AI Voice Data Entry can be used once a kintone administrator enables it on the "kintone AI management" screen. It is disabled by default.
* For the supported fields and detailed instructions, refer to the kintone Help page on this feature.

Search
All-contents search can now include or exclude specific apps and spaces

In the filter section for all-contents search, you can now include or exclude specific apps and spaces from your search. For example, you can search only the apps and spaces you use for work to find all the information you need about a project. If one app is returning too many results and you know the information you’re looking for isn’t there, you can simply exclude it from your search.

▼Example of including and excluding apps and spaces from an all-contents search
The Filter by app or space link added to the filter conditions on the search screen

To add conditions, click "Filter by app or space" in the "Filter" section of the all-contents search screen.
You can add multiple apps and spaces and choose whether to include or exclude them from your search.

* You can also include or exclude apps when searching within a space.

App management
More filter conditions are now available for the app list on the "App management" screen

We've added 11 new filter conditions to the app list on the "App management" screen. You can now filter apps by "API tokens", "Webhooks", "App group", "Created by", and more. For example, you can filter for apps with API tokens or webhooks configured to check their external integrations, or filter by a specific app group or creator to find apps that need to be reviewed.

11 new columns from the app list can now be used as filter conditions.

The following filter conditions were added in the September 2026 update:
ID / App group / Fields / API requests per day / API tokens / Webhooks / Attachments / Guest users with access / Creator / Created date and time / Last updated by

* As of the September 2026 update, all columns displayed in the app list can now be used as filter conditions.

Platform
Front-end infrastructure renewed for the "App settings" screen

To speed up product improvements going forward, the kintone development team is progressively renewing the front-end technology infrastructure that's been in use since kintone first launched, screen by screen. This time, the front-end infrastructure has been renewed for the main "App settings" screen. Its layout and components have been updated, including the "Form", "Views", "Graphs", and "App settings" tabs.

Process analysis
Use your process history to visualize how long records stay in each status

Process analysis is an in-development feature that lets you see how long it took for each status to change in apps that have process management enabled. This helps you identify and understand bottlenecks in your app workflows.
You can specify the fields to use for grouping and which records to include in the analysis, allowing you to view your workflows from different perspectives. You can also specify the analysis period, so you can focus on a specific time frame, such as the period immediately after implementing a process improvement. We plan to continue adding features to help you analyze your workflows in greater depth.

  2. Click "Analysis settings" and specify the fields to group by, the record filtering conditions, and the period to analyze.
  3. Check how much time your records spent in each status.
