Trisynapse is a local-first, BYOK AI research workspace. Turn scattered papers, PDFs, bookmarks, notes & videos into a private digital brain. The app auto-summarizes, maps concept graphs, and compiles sources into auto-updating wikis. Work seamlessly with a built-in split-view Browser, local retrieval Chat, AI Assistants, and infinite Canvas whiteboards for note-taking. 100% offline-first (except AI API calls) and private: your vault stays on your machine
Hey Product Hunt 👋, Shanmukh here, developer of Trisynapse.
To be honest, I built this because I was losing my mind trying to keep up with the new AI and LLM research. My bookmarks, Twitter saves, and browser tabs became bloated with unread sources. I tried keeping them in Notion and Obsidian, but manually organizing everything felt like a slow process.
So, I built Trisynapse to be the tool I actually wanted to use. It's a completely local-first, Bring-Your-Own-Keys (BYOK) desktop workspace.
Here is how it works:
- Builds a private digital brain: You point the app to a folder on your computer (your "vault"), and everything - your PDFs, text extractions, vector embeddings, and concept maps stays right there. No accounts, no subscriptions, no cloud sync.
- Does the reading and synthesizing for you: Once you add files or links, it auto-extracts the clean text, maps connections, and compiles everything into interlinked, self-updating Markdown wiki pages.
- Scans for updates in the background: You can set up keyword alerts, and the app will quietly scan Arxiv, Tavily, and X in the background to surface new discoveries.
- Keeps you in one place: Instead of jumping between ten apps, you have a split-screen browser (with sidebar chat), a floating AI assistant, and an infinite whiteboard canvas (powered by Excalidraw) for sketching out notes.
Since this is a fresh MVP, I would love to know: Does this workflow fit into how you read or research?
Additionally, as I look to scale the vision for Trisynapse, I am currently looking for investments and potential co-founders who want to take Trisynapse further. If you or anyone in your network might be interested in collaboration, I would love to chat further.
Ask questions, give feedback, and suggestions!!
Best,
Shanmukh
