    As someone who spends a lot of time documenting AI projects, I really like the direction OpenKnowledge is taking. Keeping everything in Markdown while integrating with Claude, Codex, and other AI agents feels like the best of both worlds. It's always nice to see tools that give you AI-powered features without locking your knowledge into a closed platform.

What is OpenKnowledge?

OpenKnowledge is a beautiful markdown editor with integrations with Claude, Codex, and other harnesses. For knowledge bases, LLM wikis, specs, and notes. Private, local, and free.

Highlights:

  • Full true WYSIWYG so that editing markdown files feels like editing a Google Doc or Notion page.
  • macOS app and web UI with file navigator, search, tabs, graph wiki link viewer, and more.
  • Collaborative AI-editing with Claude, Codex, and Cursor desktop apps. Can be used with any harness/agent via MCP/CLI, like OpenCode.
  • Out-of-the-box MCP, skills, and agentic search for LLM Wikis, agent second brains, and knowledge graphs.
  • No-code Team sharing and Auto-sync powered by git/GitHub under the hood.
  • Embeddable HTML and rich components for writing engineering specs and visualized reports.
  • A built-in TUI in the Desktop app and a Web UI for users who prefer terminals.
