OpenKnowledge is a beautiful, local-first markdown editor and LLM wiki with integrations for Claude, Codex, and other harnesses.
Available as macOS app or Web app/CLI for Linux, Windows, Intel Mac.
Key highlights:
- Full WYSIWYG so that editing markdown files feels like editing a Google Doc or Notion page.
- Collaborative AI-editing with Claude, Codex, and Cursor desktop apps. Can be used with any harness/agent via MCP/CLI.
- Out-of-the-box MCP, skills, and agentic search for LLM Wikis, agent second brains, and spec-driven development.
- No-code Team Sharing and Auto-sync powered by git/GitHub under the hood.
