What the publisher says
From the Knowtis repository's README, as published. We do not edit it. Read it on GitHub
Knowtis
Collaborative notes with an AI that reads, edits, and studies alongside you.
Knowtis is a local-first, real-time notes workspace where AI is a collaborator rather than a chat window. It edits with you inside the document, proposes changes you approve, and turns what you write into material you can study.
Features
Write. A Tiptap editor with slash commands, ghost-text suggestions, and inline AI actions to rewrite, summarize, translate, or expand a selection. Voice notes are recorded and transcribed in place.
Collaborate. Yjs CRDT sync with live presence and remote cursors. Notes persist to IndexedDB, so editing works offline and reconciles when you reconnect.
Study. Flashcards, quizzes, summaries, and mind maps generated from your notes, with SM-2 spaced repetition to schedule reviews.
Extend. A conversational copilot that reads and edits notes with human-in-the-loop approval, per-turn reasoning effort, and bring-your-own-key billing across Anthropic, OpenAI, and Google. An MCP server exposes your notes to Claude Desktop, Cursor, and VS Code.
Quick start
Requires Node.js 22, pnpm 10, and Docker.
git clone git@github.com:jovandyaz/knowtis-app.git
cd knowtis-app
pnpm run setup # deps, .env files, Postgres + Redis, migrations
pnpm dev:all # API :3333, Notes :4200, Backoffice :4400run is required: bare pnpm setup is a pnpm built-in. AI features need OPENROUTERAPIKEY in apps/api/.env (Anthropic, OpenAI and Google keys are optional per-provider) and the aienabled feature flag. The full walkthrough, including how email verification works locally and how to connect an MCP client, is in docs/LOCALSETUP.md.
