The cloud dependency problem

Your notes live on someone else's server

Cloud-first note apps store your data remotely. If the service goes down, changes pricing, or gets acquired, your notes are at the mercy of a company's business decisions.

AI features require sending your data to the cloud

Most AI-enhanced note apps process your notes on remote servers. Your private thoughts, research, and intellectual property travel through infrastructure you don't control.

Offline means limited functionality

Cloud-dependent apps degrade when you're offline. On a plane, in a cafe with bad WiFi, or just disconnected — your note-taking experience suffers.

Export doesn't mean ownership

Being able to export data isn't the same as owning it. If your daily workflow depends on proprietary cloud features, you're effectively locked in regardless of export options.

Local-first with AI that works for you

Data stays on your device

Notes are stored locally on your machine. No cloud sync required. You have complete control over where your data lives.

AI agents with local context

Agents work with your local notes as context. They read your files and knowledge base without uploading your data to storage servers.

Privacy by architecture

Local-first isn't a feature toggle — it's the architecture. Your notes never leave your device unless you explicitly choose to publish.

How it works

1

Store

Notes live on your device

Create and organize notes with a local-first editor. No account required, no cloud sync, instant access.

2

Enhance

AI agents work locally

Run agents that reference your local notes. AI features use your knowledge as context while respecting your data boundaries.

3

Build

Grow your knowledge base

Agent outputs become local notes that link to your existing knowledge. Your personal knowledge base compounds over time.

4

Publish

Share on your terms

Optionally publish selected notes to the web. You choose what to share — everything else stays private and local.

Frequently asked questions

What does "local-first" mean?
Local-first means your data is stored on your own device as the primary copy, not on a remote server. The app works fully offline, and you maintain complete ownership and control over your files. Cloud features like publishing are optional and explicit.
How does AI work if notes are local?
AI agent features connect to language model APIs (like OpenAI or Anthropic) to process tasks, but your notes themselves are read locally. The agent reads your files on your device, constructs prompts locally, and saves results back to your local storage.
Can I sync notes across devices?
Moryflow currently focuses on the desktop experience with local storage. You can use your own sync solution (like Dropbox or iCloud Drive) to keep files accessible across devices.
How is this different from Obsidian?
Both Moryflow and Obsidian are local-first. The key difference is Moryflow's native AI agent integration — agents are first-class workspace members that read your notes, execute tasks, and produce structured outputs. Moryflow also includes built-in publishing to turn notes into websites.
Is Moryflow free?
Moryflow is free during beta with all features included. Download the desktop app for macOS or Windows.
