🧠 Knowledge & Memory
SummaryPersistent, local-first AI memory: a semantic knowledge graph of plain Markdown files that humans and LLMs both read and write. Works with any MCP client, with optional cloud sync and team workspaces.Second brain your agents read and write, over a git-backed markdown vault. Authority-aware search ranks superseded and archived notes below live ones (from frontmatter, no vector DB), so agents quote the current doc, not the dead one. Per-agent read-only or write tokens, a git audit trail of every change with diffs, a knowledge-graph dashboard, and Obsidian compatibility.
