Copy anything → popup appears on desktop → choose to keep → AI organizes it into a knowledge base
You decide what to keep. AI makes sense of it.
Privacy first — all data stored in local SQLite database.
| Content Capture | Knowledge Base |
|---|---|
| Knowledge Graph | Deep Insights |
|---|---|

- Fetches full article content from WeChat, X/Twitter, and other URLs
⌘⇧Con macOS orCtrl+Shift+Con Windows to manually trigger the capture window
- Filter by type (text / image / link) and time range
- Global search across content and knowledge base
- Calendar timeline view — browse history by day
- One-click export to Markdown
- AI automatically compiles captured content into Wiki pages (concepts, entities, topics)
- Knowledge graph visualization — see how ideas connect
- Ask sidebar — ask questions about your knowledge base, AI answers based on your content
- Auto-detect orphaned pages, broken links, and structural issues
- One-click AI weekly report summarizing captured content
- Attention analysis — 7-dimension insights into your information habits:
- At a Glance / Subconscious / Graveyard / Blind Spots / Hot Topics / Heatmap / Action Items
- Like or dismiss report items — AI learns your preferences
- Supports Anthropic (Claude) / OpenAI / Google Gemini
- API Key or OAuth login — two ways to connect
- Choose different models for each provider
- System tray — closing the window keeps the app running
⌘⇧Yon macOS orCtrl+Shift+Yon Windows to show the main window- Dark / Light / System theme
- MCP protocol integration — connect to Claude Desktop

Choose the steps for your operating system.
The app is not signed with an Apple Developer certificate, so macOS may block it:
- Open the
.dmgand drag OpenWiki into the Applications folder - Open Terminal and run
xattr -cr /Applications/OpenWiki.appto allow the app to run - Launch the app and click "Allow" in the authorization prompt
- Go to Settings → AI to configure your AI provider
The Windows build is unsigned, so Microsoft Defender SmartScreen may warn on first launch:
- Run
OpenWiki_X.Y.Z_x64-setup.exe - If SmartScreen appears, choose More info → Run anyway
- Launch OpenWiki from the Start menu or desktop shortcut
- Go to Settings → AI to configure your AI provider
