iwe
A local-first hierarchical knowledge graph in Markdown that serves as shared memory for you and your AI agents.
What is iwe?
IWE is a memory system that organizes personal and project knowledge into a hierarchical graph using Markdown files. It serves as a shared second brain for users and AI agents, providing structured access to notes so AI can retrieve and update information with full context. Unlike opaque vector databases, IWE keeps everything in readable, editable Markdown, ensuring users remain in control.
Developers, researchers, and knowledge workers who manage extensive notes and want to integrate AI agents into their workflow. It's ideal for those using AI tools like Claude, Codex, or Gemini and needing consistent, structured context.
Developers choose IWE because it offers a transparent, local-first knowledge graph that both humans and AI can navigate seamlessly. Its unique selling point is the combination of hierarchical Markdown organization with powerful AI integration via CLI and MCP, avoiding the black-box nature of embedding-based systems.
