Capture in a second. Keep it as Markdown.

The Lore knowledge base: a sidebar of collections and tags, a list of saved items, and the detail of a saved article with an AI summary.
⌥ Space

One shortcut, from anywhere.

A frameless panel floats over whatever you are in. Paste a URL and Lore titles it, tags it and files it. Press Esc and you are back.

The command bar has recognised a pasted URL as a link, titled it and suggested tags.
The command bar. Type anything and Lore works out what it is.

The composer. Pick a type first, then add structure.

The filesystem is the database.

Folders are collections and files are items. Edit in vim, move in Finder, pull on another machine. Lore follows along without a restart.

Your own notes on the link, in plain Markdown.

Browse it as cards. Triage it as a table.

Card view: saved items as a grid of cards with previews, grouped under the sidebar's collections.

Built so your notes outlive the app.

Offline first. The network is never required.

No sign-up, no sync service, no telemetry. Sync is whatever you already use for folders.

Lore never runs git.

The vault is a folder. Committing it is up to you, and retitling a note never renames the file behind your back.

Never lose what you typed.

Frontmatter keys Lore does not know survive a round-trip. A link to a note that does not exist yet heals when it appears.

Deletes go to the trash.

Nothing is unlinked. Removed items wait in .lore/trash until you decide.

The index is disposable.

Delete .lore/index.db and search rebuilds it from your files. Your notes are the only source of truth.

Get Lore for your Mac.
