Kept: is an AI chat and productivity tool on your local archive. Captures conversations from ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and Kimi as Obsidian compatible markdown on your filesystem, with full-text search, knowledge graph, and an MCP servers. MIT license. View your Vault locally,
Every brainstorm, every breakthrough, every good prompt I had with ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or Grok lives inside a vendor UI. A week later I cannot find it.
Kept captures my AI conversations the moment they happen and saves them on my own machine, where I can search them, link them, and build on them.
Features: - Auto syncs your AI conversations as they happen, straight from the provider - One .md file per conversation (Obsidian compatible) - Built-in Agent runs over your own vault, not a cloud index - Knowledge graph rendered in 3D, surfaces forgotten threads - BYOK (OpenRouter / Anthropic / OpenAI) - Additional OpenClaw and Claude Code MCP support to scan your vault
Install is a one-minute job: run the desktop installer, then drag and drop the browser extension into Chrome.
Open source, MIT licensed. No account, no cloud, no subscription. We would love to hear your feedback.

Who hunted Kept?
Kept was hunted by Tibor Takács. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it. Hunters typically write the first comment explaining why a product is worth attention, and their followers are notified the moment they post. Around 79% of featured launches on Product Hunt are self-hunted by their makers, but a well-known hunter still acts as a signal of quality to the rest of the community. See the full all-time top hunters leaderboard to discover who is shaping the Product Hunt ecosystem.
