Think of it as an open-source implementation of Obsidian + LLM Wiki in practice. Since large language models took off, Obsidian—a note-taking app based directly on markdown files—has become increasingly popular. As the idea of LLM Wiki spreads, personal knowledge bases are also gaining momentum.
I’ve been tinkering with my own knowledge base recently, but hadn’t found a truly suitable solution. I’ve used Obsidian for years, and my content keeps piling up. I tried using LLM Wiki to “auto-organize” it, but the results were less than ideal.
If you’re planning to build a new knowledge base from scratch, OpenKnowledge is worth a try: clean interface, full-featured, local-first, with privacy and security.
More importantly, it has MCP, Skills, Chat, and TUI built in directly, so you can call code agents to process content without relying heavily on plugins like Obsidian does. It also natively supports Git sync, making multi-device use much easier.
But you can also combine it with Obsidian. Obsidian’s web clipper browser extension is especially handy—use it to collect web content into your knowledge base, then use OpenKnowledge to further organize that knowledge and invoke it via agents.
