I’m @mansuiki , the dad of @kuku Let’s be real—Obsidian is a beast. I used it for years, customized it endlessly, but eventually, I hit a wall. Whether it was the plugin fatigue, the Electron heaviness, or just the UI not clicking with my brain, I found myself fighting the tool rather than writing. So, I did what any rational dev would do: I over-engineered my own solution.

Kuku is a truly native, local-first markdown editor for macOS — built with Tauri, not Electron.
Notes are stored as plain .md 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.
