Pick this when

You want an AI-readable personal knowledge base that lives in plain files you own.

What makes it different

Plain markdown on disk: agents read and write it natively

Graph view turns linked notes into a navigable second brain

What it does

Notes, backlinks, graph visualization, plugin ecosystem (incl. LLM wiki plugins)

What it does not do

Common wrong expectations

Doesn't sync or collaborate by default — local-first is the point

Where it sits in a stack

The storage layer under personal-assistant/second-brain builds (Devesh's Jarvis project).
