your notes and research documentation now a local LLM Memory
A local-first research workspace for Mac. Read papers, manage sources, take markdown notes, cite evidence, and turn literature into structured writing — instead of juggling Zotero, Obsidian, PDF readers and writing apps.
Hey Product Hunt 👋 — back again.
Since our last launch, the thing I kept hearing was: "my notes are stuck in their own little world." So this update fixes exactly that.
note.md already stored everything as plain Markdown in real folders. We've now restructured the vault hierarchy so it's clean enough to hand straight to an AI. Point Claude at it through the Filesystem connector and your whole research vault (notes, sources, citations) becomes memory it can actually read. Not raw chat history. Grounded, cited memory, with receipts.
Because it's just files on disk, this isn't a Claude-only trick. Any AI that can read a local filesystem works. Your second brain stays yours, in an open format, and now your AI can read it too.
Would love to hear how you'd wire it into your own setup 🙏
