LOCAL-FIRST Β· YOUR DATA NEVER LEAVES YOUR COMPUTER

A web portal for your second brain

Knowledge Hub turns your Obsidian vault into a fast, beautiful command center - AI search with citations, a living knowledge graph, focus tools, dashboards and publishing - all running in your browser, reading your notes where they already live.

Works with your plain-markdown vault. No account. No upload. No lock-in.

πŸ”’ Your notes are referenced, not collected

This portal is a window over your vault - it reads the markdown files on your own disk and writes changes straight back to them. Nothing is copied to a server, nothing is uploaded, and there's no database in the cloud. Close the tab and your notes are exactly where they always were: plain files you own.

The idea

Your knowledge, finally usable

A vault of markdown notes is a great memory - but a folder of files is hard to think with. Knowledge Hub is the layer on top: it reads your notes, understands their links, tags and tasks, and gives you ways to explore, decide, focus and create - without ever moving your data out of your hands.

The toolkit

Every tool, and what it's for

One portal, many lenses on the same vault. Use what fits the moment.

🏠

Home

Your vault at a glance - continue where you left off, notes grouped by type, recent activity, open tasks, pinned notes, recent decisions, and blockers & follow-ups pulled from your notes.

✨

Ask

Ask your vault a question in plain language and get an answer that cites the exact notes it came from. Retrieval is 100% local; you choose the answer engine - a private local digest, a local Ollama model, or your own API key.

πŸ•ΈοΈ

Knowledge Graph

See your whole vault as a 2D/3D force-directed network of notes and their [[wikilinks]]. Hover to highlight a note's neighborhood, filter by name, color by recency, click any node to open it.

⊞

Command Center

A big-screen BI dashboard of your vault: KPI cards, notes-by-type donut, completion gauge, tasks-by-folder bars, a 13-week activity sparkline, and a radial map of your knowledge.

🎯

Focus & Now Mode

"What should I work on?" - a ranked priority list, quick wins, this-week momentum and emerging themes. Now Mode shows ONE task at a time with a built-in focus timer to beat overwhelm.

πŸ”

Review

Resurface old notes worth re-reading, triage stale tasks one card at a time, work a learning queue, and generate a weekly review note - so knowledge compounds instead of rotting.

πŸ—‚οΈ

Board

A Kanban board built from your status: frontmatter. Drag a card between columns and the new status is written straight into the note.

πŸ“Š

Insights & Vault Doctor

Task intelligence across the whole vault, plus health checks Obsidian won't show you: broken wikilinks, empty stubs, untagged notes and duplicate titles.

πŸ“

Read & Edit

A clean markdown reader/editor with backlinks, a neighborhood mini-graph, an outline, word counts, read-aloud, draft auto-save, and "similar notes you haven't linked yet" suggestions.

🧭

Modes

Reshape the portal around how you work - Writer, Founder, Consultant, Researcher or Personal - each surfacing the note types that matter for that workflow.

β‡ͺ

Publish

Export a note, a type, or a folder as a single self-contained web page - optionally password-protected with real encryption - to share read-only, hosted anywhere or just opened locally.

⌘

Command Palette & Capture

Press ⌘K to search notes or run any action. Quick-capture a thought straight into today's daily note in one keystroke.

Who it's for

What you can use it for

πŸŽ“

Learners

Turn scattered notes into a queryable knowledge base. Ask what you've learned, resurface what you're forgetting, and keep a living map of a subject.

πŸš€

Founders & builders

Track ideas, products, experiments and pricing. See momentum, surface decisions and blockers, and keep the next concrete step in view.

🀝

Consultants

Keep clients, meetings, deliverables and decisions organized. Publish a clean, encrypted read-only packet for a client without exposing the rest.

πŸ”¬

Researchers

Connect sources, summaries and concepts; ask grounded questions with citations back to the originals; spot the themes emerging across your reading.

✍️

Writers

Manage drafts, outlines and references, find related material you forgot you wrote, and ship a polished page when it's ready.

🌱

Personal OS

Run your life: goals, habits, journal, tasks, health and finances - with focus tools designed to make starting easy.

How it works

Point it at your vault. That's it.

01

Connect

Run it locally against your vault folder, or open your vault folder right in the browser. Either way your files stay on your machine.

02

It reads, in your browser

All the analysis - graph, search, tasks, insights - happens client-side, on your device. No server processing of your content.

03

Explore & create

Browse, ask, focus, organize and publish. Edits write straight back to your markdown files.

04

Close it, you still own everything

Your vault is unchanged plain markdown. No export needed, no lock-in, ever.

πŸ›‘οΈ Your data stays yours - here's exactly what that means
