From files to a living knowledge network

ZetaNotes stores knowledge in plain Markdown while adding block anchors, block references, backlinks, provenance, review queues, graph views, AI ingest, and AI maintenance workflows.

What it manages

  • Raw imports from PDF, DOCX, Markdown and other files
  • Source pages with source_doc and source_locator metadata
  • Concept pages created from reusable ideas
  • Block IDs such as ^b-aB12cD34 and references such as ((b-aB12cD34))
  • Backlinks, graph views, health checks and review workflows

Why ZetaNotes is different

It is not just a folder of documents. It is a knowledge graph that agents can maintain.

Roam-style blocks

Every durable idea can have a stable block anchor. Other pages can point to that exact claim, not only to a whole page.

Source provenance

Imported knowledge can carry source_doc, source_locator, confidence, model_id, and agent_session_id so claims remain auditable.

AI ingest

Use an OpenAI-compatible LLM to turn imported documents into source summaries and reusable concept drafts. Without an LLM, a local fallback still creates reviewable plans.

AI maintenance

Find missing anchors, duplicate anchors, broken references, orphan pages, weak links and review items, then apply changes through persistent workflows.

CLI automation

Use zetanotes-cli from terminals, scripts, Codex skills, and future MCP wrappers to query or maintain the same local Wiki.

Plain Markdown

Your notes remain files on disk. ZetaNotes adds indexing, metadata and workflows without hiding the knowledge in a closed document store.

Desktop and CLI work together

The desktop app is for daily reading, editing, importing and review. The CLI is for automation and agent access.
