Every package Kuku depends on, ranked by repo health score.
Kuku is a native macOS app for personal knowledge management, built around plain Markdown files rather than a proprietary database, positioning itself directly as an open-source Obsidian alternative. It supports personal wiki and Second Brain workflows, and adds AI-assisted diffs for reviewing AI-suggested changes to notes rather than accepting them blindly.
Beyond local storage, Kuku offers encrypted sync, letting the same knowledge base stay available across devices without trusting a third party with unencrypted note content. It's built with Tauri and SolidJS, giving it a lightweight native-feeling app on top of a web-tech UI stack rather than a heavier Electron footprint.
MIT licensed, Kuku has been featured on Product Hunt as an open-source, local-first second brain, and its own topics explicitly identify it as targeting the same use case as Obsidian and similar personal knowledge management tools.
