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).
Entry timeline
ENTRY TIMELINE
Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.

Two labels per entry, never collapsed into one: how it was built, and who stands behind it. Counted over the 16 listed below. Unlabelled means nothing has decided yet — not that the answer is small.
