Local-first AI knowledge bases

This cluster consists of local-first knowledge bases that store notes, links, files, and decisions and expose them to AI assistants via local interfaces. The dated history before August 2026 is too thin to read a shape from—fewer than five dated entries exist—so the cluster's early timeline cannot be characterized. Traction leaders based on activity signal are deepddw (9 stars), sudonotes (5 stars), and local-knowledge-base (4 stars).
