Kuku is a truly native, local-first markdown editor for macOS — built with Tauri, not Electron. Notes are stored as plainmd files with wikilinks, backlinks, and graph view. Its AI agent doesn’t just chat — it searches, edits, and links your files, with every change shown as Cursor-style diffs you can review. Fast, lightweight, offline-first. No cloud. No lock-in. Obsidian + Cursor, without Electron.
I also have found obsidian-smart-connections to suggest the change, what is the difference ?

So basically Obsidian and Notion had a nerdy lovechild that actually stays on my Mac? Count me in :D

@abod_rehman Haha, I might have to use "Nerdy Lovechild" as our new tagline. That is exactly the vibe—best of both worlds, but it lives on your disk. Hope you enjoy it!

@cruise_chen Exactly! To us, "Local-first" isn't just a tech stack—it's about Control.
