OpenKnowledge editor with an AI agent drafting a launch recap

Features

Highlights:

Install

Desktop app — download it from openknowledge.ai/download (or grab an installer from the latest release):

Web app — on any platform (including Intel Macs and servers), run the same editor as a local web app via the CLI (Node.js 24+ and git required):

npm install -g @inkeep/open-knowledge
cd your-project
ok init          # scaffold the project + wire up your AI editors (Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, Codex, OpenCode, OpenClaw)
ok start --open  # serve the web editor and open it in your browser

Usage

Use OpenKnowledge by opening any existing folder on your computer that contains markdown or mdx files. The app can be used with existing codebases, wikis, Obsidian vaults, etc.

Think of it as Notion meets VS Code.

You can use it simply as a rich, WYSIWYG markdown editor to start. For existing files or plain notes/docs.

To get more complex, you can use the starter packs to create LLM Wikis, second brains, or more structured knowledge bases.

Either way, the app will walk you through installing the MCP and skills for agent harnesses detected on your computer. These are designed to help agents with enriched search + authoring of documents.

Git/GitHub based sync and sharing can optionally be enabled.

Docs for general usage: https://openknowledge.ai/docs.

Open-knowledge
这是什么？OpenKnowledge 是一个 AI 原生的 markdown 编辑器和 LLM wiki 应用。它为 markdown/mdx 文件提供真正的所见即所得编辑器，并内置了与 Claude、Codex、OpenCode、Pi 等编程智能体的 AI 编辑集成。
这是桌面应用，还是也能在浏览器里运行？两者都有：既有 macOS、Windows 和 Linux 的原生桌面应用，也有可以通过 CLI 在任何平台本地运行的 Web 界面，包括 Intel Mac 和服务器。
运行 Web/CLI 版本需要安装什么？基于 CLI 的 Web 应用需要 Node.js 24 或更高版本以及 git；原生桌面版本则两者都不需要。
macOS 桌面应用能在 Intel Mac 上运行吗？不能，macOS 版本仅支持 Apple Silicon；在 Intel Mac（或其他任何操作系统）上，你需要改用通过 CLI 运行的本地 Web 应用。
我的数据会留在我的电脑上吗？会。OpenKnowledge 直接处理你电脑上已有的 markdown 文件，主打私密、本地、免费，而不是把内容发送到托管服务。
它与 Claude 或 Codex 这类编程智能体如何协作？应用会引导你为它在你电脑上检测到的任何智能体框架安装 MCP 服务器和技能，让这些智能体能与你一起搜索和撰写 markdown 文档。
团队可以共享和同步笔记吗？可以。它提供无需写代码的团队共享，底层由 git/GitHub 驱动自动同步。
这与直接使用 Notion 或 Obsidian 有什么不同？它把真正的所见即所得 markdown 编辑器与并排的 AI 编辑、智能体搜索以及可嵌入的 HTML/富组件（用于规格文档）结合在一起——README 把它定位为“Notion 遇上 VS Code”。
可以配合我现有的 Obsidian 库使用吗？可以。由于它只是打开任何 markdown/mdx 文件夹，因此与现有的代码库、wiki 或 Obsidian 库都能配合得很好。
