Welcome to Cabinet
Your Knowledge Base, your AI Team. Local-first. Markdown-backed. Yours.
Cabinet collapses your notes, files, tasks, and AI agents into one folder on your computer. You open one app — everything is there. You close your laptop — your AI team keeps working.
Cabinet in three ideas
One folder for everything. Notes, PDFs, spreadsheets, code, diagrams, embedded apps — first-class viewers, no juggling tools. If it lives in a folder, Cabinet can show it.
An AI team that lives next to your work. Hire personas. Give them skills. Schedule tasks, routines, and heartbeats. Their outputs land back in your folder as durable pages — not lost in a chat transcript.
Yours, on disk, forever. Plain markdown plus a tiny manifest. Git-trackable. Bring your own AI provider — Claude, GPT, Gemini, Grok, or a local model. No database. No cloud. No lock-in.

I want to understand or extend it.
