What it does
Obsidian is the best thinking and knowledge-base tool ever built for one person. VaultGuard makes it work for a team. It adds encrypted sync, per-file permissions, share-links, AI chat, guest access and audit logs to the vault you already have — no migration, no new app to learn. You write exactly as you do today; VaultGuard protects who can view and work with the files. Point Claude or GPT at the vault and the AI inherits the same permissions your people do. Free if you self-host.
Share your Obsidian vault safely, put any AI on it, and scale it to your whole team. Encryption at rest and in transit, per file permissions, and fast sync. Self host the source available Community edition or use managed VaultGuard Cloud.
Share your vault safely with granular permissions and audit logs, put any AI on it, and scale it to your whole team. Free to self host. Open code you can audit. Nothing to migrate. You built something brilliant in Obsidian. Fast, linked, alive. Then you tried to grow it, and you hit the ceiling. You could build a real one from scratch. Learn retrieval, stand up a database, wire five tools together, spend six months, then train everyone on a system they never asked for. Most teams start, stall, and go back to the wiki nobody opens. So you are stuck between a tool that will not scale and a project that will not end. One living knowledge base that your whole team, and every AI you use, can…from vaultguard.cloud

A highly opinionated, fully functional Obsidian vault2022 · github.com · ▲258A few months ago I noticed that I was quickly approaching my 10GB sync limit for my daily driver vault. I considered deprecating some of the heavier files and images, but I was worried how it would affect the integrity of my vault. Instead, I took the opportunity to think to myself -- what would the perfect vault look like? I began to write down some of the key philosophies and strategies I use in my driver vault which led to indispensable plugins, which led to more indispensable philosophies and on and on it went. I've chronicled these results into a fully working vault template that…
Agent Vault – Open-source credential proxy and vault for agentsApr 2026 · github.com · ▲156Hey HN! Today we're launching Agent Vault - an open source HTTP credential proxy and vault for AI agents. Repo is at https://github.com/Infisical/agent-vault, and there's an in-depth description at https://infisical.com/blog/agent-vault-the-open-source-crede.... We built Agent Vault in response to a question that been plaguing the industry: How do we give agents secure access to services without them reading any secrets? Most teams building agents have run into this exact problem: They build an agent or agentic system and come to realize at some point…
AI VaultJul 2026 · ps-aditya.github.io · ▲5I built Vault-AI to solve a problem I kept running into when building AI apps: API keys and secrets end up scattered in .env files, hardcoded, or shared insecurely. Vault-AI is a lightweight, self-hosted secrets manager — kind of like HashiCorp Vault, but simplified and aimed at AI workloads. It runs in Docker, comes with a simple CLI, and manages tenants, token-based auth, secret rotation, rollback, version history, and audit logs. Quickstart: git clone → ./start.sh → vault-ai store/get Repo: https://gitlab.com/vaultaiproject/vault-ai.git Would love feedback…

Cc-md – Zero-cost Obsidian sync across iPhone, Mac, and GitHubFeb 2026 · github.com · ▲8Here's something I realized: the most AI-native knowledge base isn't a SaaS product with an API. It's a folder of markdown files on your disk. Obsidian stores everything as plain .md files. That means Claude Code (or any AI tool) can grep, read, write, and traverse your entire knowledge base with zero setup. No API keys. No OAuth. No middleware. Just local file I/O. The only missing piece was sync. I wanted my vault on iPhone (iCloud), on Mac (local), and on GitHub (backup + version history) — without paying $4/mo for Obsidian Sync. cc-md is ~400 lines of bash. iCloud handles Apple…

Clipto MCP▲655Hey HN, We recently built Clipto. It’s a tool that lets you search over terabytes of video, audio, and images on your computer, without relying on the cloud. Motivation: we probably all had this similar experience, we know a moment exists in a video or audio, but finding it takes hours scrubbing the timeline. You can send all the media to process in the cloud, but it’s slow, expensive and raises privacy concerns. So we decided to build our own on-device media search engine. How it works (high level): 1. We ingest video, audio, image; normalize formats via ffmpeg; run content analysis to…

Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…
