Why Local-First Matters

Every connection is permanent

Bidirectional links create a knowledge graph that compounds over time. No cloud sync needed — your vault grows richer with every note you write.

Your data never leaves your disk

Plain markdown files stored locally. Readable by any text editor today and in twenty years. No proprietary formats, no export anxiety.

The graph reveals hidden structure

Switch to graph view and surface clusters you never planned. Orphan notes find parents. Patterns emerge from the constellation of your thinking.

Plugins extend the core endlessly

Over 1,200 community plugins transform your vault into a spaced-repetition engine, a task manager, or a publishing pipeline. The graph is the foundation.
