⭐ If SoloMD earns a place on your machine, star it on GitHub — it's free, made by one developer, and stars are how other people find it.
🤖 Built and maintained by Claude
SoloMD is written, tested and released almost entirely by Claude Code, Anthropic's
coding agent, working under a human maintainer who sets the direction and decides what
ships. Issues and pull requests are triaged and answered by Claude as well — the
replies you get here are written by an AI, not typed by a person.
We are telling you this for two reasons. You should know what you are trusting with your
notes: read the code, it is MIT and all of it is public. And when a reply is confidently
wrong — it happens — say so in the thread. That correction is the mechanism.
💼 For Teams & Founders (100% Async Contracts): Using this exact human-architect + Claude Code pipeline, the maintainer also built Unterm — a self-developed Rust + wgpu terminal kernel exposing 152 MCP methods with an Action Gateway. Available for 100% asynchronous remote contracts (custom MCP servers, Rust/Tauri agentic desktop apps, and AI workflows — written specs, Loom demos & clean PRs, zero meetings). Work with the architect →
Your notes live in a folder. SoloMD is the editor on top — with a first-class agent surface inside the editor, and the MCP endpoint Claude Code / Cursor can drive from outside. Same .md files. Chat with your vault. Schedule recipes that run when you're not at the keyboard. Hand the same vault to any MCP client.
Built on Tauri 2 + Vue 3 + CodeMirror 6. Universal macOS dmg ~32 MB. Free, MIT, no subscription, no SoloMD-hosted servers. Your notes, AI keys, embeddings index, and git history all stay on your machine.
New in 4.6 — the knowledge-graph layer
The structural half Obsidian and Tolaria had and SoloMD didn't — now built, and on SoloMD's own warm design system:
- Properties inspector (
⌘⇧I) — edit YAML frontmatter with type/date/status/relation pickers; line-surgical writes preserve your comments, inline arrays and quoting byte-for-byte.
- Type-driven sidebar — give a note
type: Project and its members become a first-class collapsible section with custom icon/colour/columns (types-as-lenses).
- Typed relationships —
belongs_to / related_to / has frontmatter with automatic inverses, resolved server-side for big vaults.
- Relationship graph ("Neighborhood") — per-note explorer of outgoing + inverse links; click to navigate, ⌘-click to pivot.
- Saved filtered views — persistent sidebar views (
.solomd/views/*.yml) with a recursive all/any filter builder (type / status / date / regex).
- Inbox workflow —
⌘E mark-organized + auto-advance to inbox-zero.
- tldraw whiteboards — Markdown-backed boards (
```tldraw fence), cross-compatible with Tolaria's on-disk format, lazy-loaded so the core stays light.
Plus a unified macOS title bar (traffic lights inline in the toolbar) and a from-scratch design-system + Vue component library. Still ~15–32 MB, still free, still local-first. → Compare vs Obsidian / Typora / Tolaria
Three halves of one product
The editor. WYSIWYG live edit (Typora-style), tabs + split panes, KaTeX + Mermaid, image paste to _assets/, slideshow mode (⌘⌥P), Vim mode, Hunspell + CJK proofread, semantic search (⌘⇧F), wikilinks + backlinks, Pandoc export. CJK encodings (GBK / Big5 / Shift-JIS) auto-detected.
The endpoint. A bundled solomd-mcp binary exposes the same vault to any MCP client — 16 tools out of the box, including SoloMD-only ones (autogit_log, autogit_diff, autogit_rollback, sync_status, share_url, read_agent_trace) that no other markdown server has. v4.0 adds --workspace path1 --workspace path2 federation — one MCP session, many vaults. Plus a solomd agent <prompt> CLI that hands off to Claude Code / Codex CLI with the MCP pre-wired.
