What it does
Kuku is an open-source local-first Markdown workspace for macOS. It edits ordinary .md files in a local vault and supports portable personal knowledge workflows, including wiki links, backlinks, search, and 2D or 3D graph navigation.
The application also provides Second Brain workflows, AI Agent, Ask, and Inline modes, file or text attachments, and reviewable proposed edits with diffs. Its encrypted sync foundation covers workspaces, devices, key envelopes, signed commits, and encrypted objects.
The repository includes the macOS client, web app, Go server, protobuf contracts, Rust AI and indexing crates, and Docker infrastructure. Users can download the macOS build, install it through Homebrew, or inspect and self-host the system; Windows and Linux are listed as forthcoming.
