What it does

An AI-friendly, local-first Markdown editor. Already on Obsidian? Point it at your existing vault — no migration. A standalone MCP server is built in, so Claude, Cursor, or any AI client can search, read, and write your notes. Hybrid search on by default. Free.

An AI-ready, local-first Markdown notes editor. Plain files. Real links. Semantic search. Ships with a standalone Model Context Protocol server — point Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client at your vault and your notes become tools.

Available as MacOS app or Web UI+CLI. Fully free/local and OSS. We built this because we wanted a Notion-like experience for writing and sharing markdown files across our team. Obsidian is the best alternative we tried, but found it doesn’t have a true WYSWIG UI and it didn’t integrate well with Claude/Codex outside of community plugins. So we built OpenKnowledge.

  • Today, I’m proud to announce Homebrew 6.0.0. The most significant changes since 5.1.0 are a new tap trust security mechanism, the new faster, smaller, default internal Homebrew JSON API, sandboxing on Linux, better defaults informed by our user survey, many brew bundle improvements, improved performance and initial support for macOS 27 (Golden Gate). Happy to discuss any questions here!

  • Hi HN! I was super frustrated at apps like tiktok and wechat preventing me from saving or downloading the animated gifs, so I made a little tool to turn a screen recording into a slack-sized emoji. Hope you get some value from this!
