Hi everyone, I'm Edu, the creator of Jylos.
Jylos started as a small personal project to explore Java desktop application development, JavaFX, Markdown processing and software architecture. Over time, it grew into a complete local-first knowledge management application.
I'm a big fan of tools like Obsidian, Joplin and the open-source community. Jylos is not intended to replace them, but to offer another open-source alternative with its own approach.
Some of its main features include Markdown notes, wiki-links, backlinks, interactive knowledge graphs, plugins, themes, Kanban boards, encrypted notes and Git synchronization.
Everything is stored locally: no accounts, no cloud dependency and no telemetry.
This project has been a huge learning journey for me, and I’m really excited to share it with the community. I would love to hear your thoughts, suggestions and ideas for future improvements.
Thanks for taking a look at Jylos.
