Locul finds every markdown file and PDF on your Mac and turns them into a memory you — and your AI tools — can use. Nothing ever leaves your laptop.
No databases to design, no linking, no “knowledge management.” Locul works on the folders you already have — decade-old notes included.
Give it disk access once and it discovers every markdown file and PDF itself — root folders, Claude folders, skills, agents, archives. Search works in seconds, before any AI.
Connections, related notes, tags — computed automatically for every note, with a plain-English reason for each link. You never maintain anything.
On-device AI distills your writing into memories: short, sourced facts about your work, decisions and preferences. Every one links back to the exact note it came from.
When your notes say something new, Locul supersedes the old fact instead of hoarding contradictions. And you hold the eraser: forget or rewrite any topic across your memories and the files themselves — every change previewed, originals backed up.
One pasted snippet connects any of them. They search your notes and recall your memories under rules you set — and anything they want to change is only ever a suggestion that waits for your approval.
There is no cloud, no account server, no telemetry. The AI itself runs on your Mac through Ollama — a free app Locul sets up for you, in the background.
What any connected AI may see is decided inside Locul itself — per-capability switches, down to which kinds of memories are ever shareable.
Add a word and anything mentioning it becomes invisible to every AI app — memories, search snippets, whole notes.
Mark a folder private and everything beneath it simply doesn't exist as far as AI apps are concerned.
Anything that would touch your files shows you every edit first and backs up the originals. Deletes go to the Trash, never into the void.
Curated packs of opinions, tactics and full playbooks. Each opens with a school-of-thought question; only the school you pick ever enters your memory.
Hooks, commenting strategy, cadence, profile-as-landing-page.
Pre-launch list building, launch-week mechanics, review velocity.
Channel-market fit, honest channel tests, owned vs rented audiences.
macOS today; Windows and Linux later. AI features run through Ollama — free, installed for you in the background. English-first for now. Search and connections work with no AI at all.
