tianma-if/edgeever

AI-native knowledge base & Evernote/Obsidian alternative with instant sync & native MCP. Free on Cloudflare or self-hosted via Docker.

What it solves

EdgeEver is a self-hosted, AI-native knowledge base designed to replace commercial note-taking apps like Evernote. It addresses common frustrations with existing tools, such as high costs, bloated interfaces, privacy concerns, and the lack of integrated AI features for personal productivity.

How it works

It is built as a lightweight, open-source application that can be deployed for free on Cloudflare (using D1 and R2) or self-hosted via Docker on a VPS or NAS. It features a classic three-pane interface for managing notes and includes a browser extension for clipping content from various social and media platforms. The platform integrates AI agents via the Model Context Protocol (MCP), allowing users to connect their own AI models to summarize notes, generate diagrams, and organize information.

Who it’s for

It is for individuals and power users who want full ownership of their data, a fast and reliable note-taking experience, and the ability to leverage AI agents to manage their personal knowledge base without recurring subscription fees.

Highlights

  • Zero-Cost Deployment: Runs entirely within Cloudflare's free tier or via self-hosted Docker.
  • AI-Native Features: Includes AI-powered generation of mind maps, flowcharts, and multi-dimensional tables, plus support for external AI models.
  • Universal Clipping: Browser extension supports structured data extraction from 15+ platforms including X, Reddit, GitHub, and YouTube.
  • Open Architecture: Built on SQLite with full data export capabilities, ensuring no vendor lock-in.
  • Cross-Platform: Native apps available for macOS, Windows, Linux, iOS, and Android.
