note.md - 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.

Local LLM memory for notes is such a smart angle — most note tools either go fully cloud-based or stay completely dumb. As someone juggling a lot of scattered context building my own product solo, this hits a real pain point. Is the memory scoped per-document, or does it build a broader connected graph across all your notes over time?

 

As of now the graph is not provided to LLMs.

Thats a point er want to address in the near future:)

 ah gotcha, makes sense it's more isolated per-doc for now then. that's probably one of those features that sounds simple but gets messy fast once you start hooking the graph into the LLM context lol, curious how you're thinking about scoping that so it doesn't just dump everything in and blow up the context window.

the "my notes are stuck in their own little world" line is the actual reason people churn from every notes app eventually. notion is great until you realize your 4 years of work won't move anywhere intact.

real markdown in real folders is the only durable answer. did this myself 18 months ago when i moved off notion to obsidian. 3 hours of cleanup, then the files just lived where they should have lived from day one.

what's your stance on linking between vaults? the part that breaks for me when files are local is when i want to reference something from project A in project B without copy-paste. how does note.md handle that?

Memory become the center of true knowledge management, this is a bold move to build around it especially regarding data privacy. Just downloaded!

What separates/elevates this above using obsidian with extensions?

Does it support importing an existing Zotero library, or is it starting fresh?
