Kuku is a truly native, local-first markdown editor for macOS — built with Tauri, not Electron. Notes are stored as plainmd files with wikilinks, backlinks, and graph view. Its AI agent doesn’t just chat — it searches, edits, and links your files, with every change shown as Cursor-style diffs you can review. Fast, lightweight, offline-first. No cloud. No lock-in. Obsidian + Cursor, without Electron.
Hey, Product Hunt!
Kuku is a project built by mansuiki and me to explore what a truly native, local-first markdown editor could be.
We like Obsidian, but it’s Electron.
Notion is polished, but cloud-first.
Apple Notes is native, but not markdown.
Kuku is built with Tauri and stores everything as plain .md files on your Mac.
It supports wikilinks, backlinks, and graph view, with an AI agent that actually edits files, not just chat — all changes are shown as reviewable diffs.
Fast, lightweight, offline-friendly.
Designed for people who want native performance and local control.
