Tolaria is a free, open-source macOS desktop app for managing markdown-based knowledge bases. Built with Tauri, React, and TypeScript, it follows a files-first, git-first, offline-first philosophy — notes are plain markdown files with YAML frontmatter stored in a local git repository. No accounts, no subscriptions, no cloud lock-in. It supports AI agents (Claude Code, Codex CLI) via an AGENTS file, features a keyboard-first command palette, and is designed for power users managing large personal or company knowledge vaults. The creator uses it personally with 10,000+ notes.
