Obsidian
by Dynalist Inc.
The second brain in Markdown files: your notes stay with you, and an agent can read them.
View the project →What it does
- Linked notes, graph view, plugins; everything is a text file you own
- A perfect base for a knowledge base that Claude Code or Hermes read and extend
- Free app but not open source; sync and publishing are paid
! Not open source: if that's a requirement for you, look at Logseq, AppFlowy or basic-memory.
