OpenWiki — Mac desktop AI knowledge management tool. Capture clipboard, build personal wiki, get AI insights.

What it solves

OpenWiki addresses the problem of "silent hoarding" and fragmented information capture. Instead of blindly saving everything, it allows users to selectively keep copied content and uses AI to transform those fragments into a structured, interconnected knowledge base rather than a simple list of clips.

How it works

The application monitors the system clipboard; when a user copies text, images, or URLs, a popup appears allowing them to choose whether to save the item. Saved content is stored in a local SQLite database for privacy. AI providers (such as Claude, OpenAI, or Gemini) then automatically organize this content into Wiki pages based on concepts and entities, creating a knowledge graph of connected ideas. Users can interact with their data via a sidebar chat or receive AI-generated insight reports that analyze information habits.

Who it’s for

It is designed for researchers, students, and knowledge workers who capture a high volume of diverse information from the web and desktop apps and want an automated way to synthesize that data into a usable personal wiki.

Highlights

  • Selective Capture: A desktop popup ensures only intentionally chosen content is saved.
  • Automated Synthesis: AI compiles raw clips into structured Wiki pages and entities.
  • Knowledge Visualization: Includes a knowledge graph to visualize connections between ideas.
  • Privacy-Centric: All data is stored locally in a SQLite database.
  • Insight Reports: Generates weekly AI summaries and 7-dimension attention analysis of information habits.
  • Broad Integration: Supports multiple AI providers and integrates with the MCP protocol for Claude Desktop.
