The real app, with a fictional demo library. Screenshots follow your language.

CAPTURE. CONNECT. REDISCOVER.

Less scattered. More connected.

A quiet place to think, and a clear path back to the ideas that matter.

Make room for your next idea.

Write on the formatted Markdown page. Add tables and tasks with slash commands, paste images or drop attachments. Switch to source with shared undo history.

Follow the thread between ideas.

Link notes in both directions and explore them in a knowledge graph. Follow a concept to a reading note, then back to the project it inspired.

LOCAL BY DESIGN. CONNECTED BY CHOICE.

Your files. Your knowledge. Your call.

Your folders stay yours

Notes and indexes live on your computer. Read, edit, explore and search locally, without a hosted knowledge base.

Choose what enters search

No folders are indexed by default. Browse first, then explicitly choose what to search. Browsing and retrieval have separate scopes.

Bring AI in on your terms

AI Chat sends enabled context to your chosen provider; ChatGPT receives requested tool results. External AI connections are optional.

WHEN YOU WANT AI, YOUR KNOWLEDGE IS READY

Give your AI something worth knowing.

Chat beside your notes, follow citations and review suggestions. Connect your assistant through MCP and the bundled Skill, or use the built-in Tunnel to bring your knowledge into ChatGPT.

Fictional AI conversation; no external AI was called. ChatGPT needs an account, network access and the relevant permissions, with LeafLoom running.

START WITH A FOLDER OF YOUR OWN

Make yourself at home.

Install the desktop app. Try the demo or open your own folder. No preinstalled Python, Node or Ollama needed.

Release notes · v0.1.2 ↗Installation guide ↗All releases ↗

Current installers are unsigned; the Mac app is not notarized. See the installation guide for system prompts. No Linux, Intel Mac or Windows ARM installer is provided.

Can I use LeafLoom without AI?

Yes. Reading, editing, the graph and keyword search work without a model, and work offline after dependencies are prepared. Prepare BGE-M3 only for local semantic search. External AI and ChatGPT need their own accounts, permissions and network access.
