Knode

Your second brain for AI: one local memory that is yours, that every AI agent you use can read and add to, and that you see and organise in a native app. knode.md

Knode is in design and built in public. Nothing to install yet: follow along in the roadmap.

What's here

Path	What
core/	The Rust core, one crate per piece: format, Markdown, capture, service, MCP, sync, bindings, CLI
mac/	Knode for Mac, with Knode Service in the menu bar
ios/	Knode for iPhone and iPad
web/	The web app, app.knode.md
android/, windows/	After v1.0
docs/	Product, architecture, privacy
brand/	The Knode brand, as a git submodule

The .knode format is specified in knodemd/format.

Build

git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/knodemd/knode.git
cd knode/core
cargo test
cargo run -p knode-cli

Only working on one app? Clone just the core and that app:

git clone --filter=blob:none --sparse https://github.com/knodemd/knode.git
cd knode && git sparse-checkout set core mac
