About


what is lokus?
lokus is a local-first markdown note-taking app for people who are tired of managing 10+ obsidian plugins just to get basic features.

what makes it different:
  - database views like notion (built-in, no plugins) 
  - 3D/2D knowledge graphs that actually work 
  - AI integration (MCP server with 68+ tools) 
  - works with your existing obsidian vaults 
  - 10mb download vs 100mb (rust/tauri instead of electron) 
  - 100x faster search 
  - completely free & open source

built with: react + rust (tauri 2.0) 
 
current state: 
  - v1.3.3 released 
  - 50k+ lines of code 
  - works on mac/windows/linux 
  - actively developed 
  - growing community

why support?
  right now this is just me working nights/weekends. your support helps: 
  - keep development active 
  - fix bugs faster 
  - add features you actually want 
  - eventually go full-time on this

  all funds go directly to: 
  - development time 
  - infrastructure costs (hosting, CI/CD, etc.) 
  - design/UX improvements 
  - documentation

100% transparent - all expenses public on open collective 
 
  this isn't a VC-backed startup trying to lock you in. just open source software funded by people who use it. 
 
  if you use lokus and want to see it grow, consider supporting 🙏
