About

Kuku is a native macOS note-taking and knowledge management app that combines a lightweight Markdown editor with modern AI-driven tools while keeping your files as plain .md on your disk so they remain accessible by editors like vim, versionable with git, and free from cloud vendor lock-in. It supports bidirectional links with autocompletion and backlinks panels that help you interconnect ideas, plus a graph view for visualizing relationships between notes. It includes an AI agent powered by Gemini with a tool that can search your local vault, read files, generate summaries, and create or edit documents with cursor-style edit previews that show suggested changes as diffs before you accept or reject them. Kuku also offers local Whisper speech-to-text for offline audio transcription, fast full-text search using SQLite FTS5 with BM25 ranking, and a native performance footprint built on Tauri that results in a small installation and low memory usage without Electron overhead.

About

Obsidian is a powerful knowledge base that works on top of a local folder of plain text Markdown files. The human brain is non-linear: we jump from idea to idea, all the time. Your second brain should work the same. In Obsidian, making and following "connections" is frictionless. Tend to your notes like a gardener; at the end of the day, sit back and marvel at your own knowledge graph. Note-taking is incredibly personal. Tried every app, but there's always something not quite right? You deserve better. Obsidian is built to be extensible. With 22 core plugins and 149 community plugins, set up your own toolkit and get running in minutes. You'll even be able to install third party plugins or build your own once Obsidian reaches v1.0. Sky's the limit. In our age when cloud services can shut down, get bought, or change privacy policy any day, the last thing you want is proprietary formats and data lock-in. With Obsidian, your data sits in a local folder.
