Everything inside

One local vault for notes, context, and AI

A block editor, linked Markdown, full-text search, split views, version history, and AI agents that work inside your vault — all over files you own. Your account controls beta access; your vault stays on your disk.

An AI engine that lives in your vault

Choose Claude Code, Codex, or Gemini CLI. Chat, edit, and run tools against your actual files without pasting context into another app.

Folder Context Engine

AGENTS.md

A provider-neutral AGENTS.md per folder, kept up to date automatically.

AI chat & CLI

Use guided chat or the full agent terminal without leaving your vault.

Block editor

Slash commands, tables, task lists, and live Markdown editing.

Flexible workspaces

Open notes, chats, and agent sessions side by side in split tabs.

Just Markdown on disk

~/vault/ideas.md

Plain .md + YAML in a folder you own. The filesystem is the database.

Wikilinks, backlinks & search

[[Roadmap]]

[[Links]] both ways, full-text search, and a command palette.

Local file history

Changes are versioned locally — restore a recent version non-destructively.

Typed notes

People, projects, calls — lenses over your vault, not rigid schemas.

Local-first by design

Your vault stays on disk. Free during beta on macOS, Windows & Linux.

Overview

Everything works on your
AI Subscription

Linked notes, a block editor, AI chat, and local version history — all as plain Markdown in one vault you own. A provider-neutral AGENTS.md in each folder keeps the selected agent oriented. Mindex drives the CLI you already use — Claude Code, Codex, or Gemini CLI — so there is no API key to add and no per-token bill from Mindex.

    ~/vault/ideas.md

    Every note is a plain .md file in a folder you control. Delete the app and your knowledge is still right there.

  • Structure with frontmatter

    type: project

    Add typed YAML fields when you want structure — projects, people, goals — and stay free-form when you don’t.

  • Wikilinks & backlinks

Architecture

One vault for everything
you know

Study, work, business, life — kept as ordinary Markdown files you own. No database, no lock-in. Read them in any editor, search them from the terminal, and back them up with any sync or versioning tool you choose.

From the author

Hey! I’m Dmitriy

Coding agents are a genuine superpower — they changed how I think and what I can build. So I built Mindex — a real productivity system that can be your second brain, your advisor, your manager — whatever you need. Your agent works inside your vault and starts with its folder context, so you stop re-explaining yourself every time.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Yes — Mindex is free during the private beta. You need an account and approved beta access, but there is no trial timer or credit card.

Your vault stays on your machine as plain Markdown files in a folder you choose. Mindex stores account, access, device, activity, and diagnostic data separately, but it does not upload your vault. You can back up or sync the folder with any external tool you trust.

Native desktop builds are available for macOS, Windows, and Linux. An account and approved beta access are currently required to download and use Mindex.

Like Obsidian, Mindex works on a local Markdown vault. Mindex is built around coding-agent CLIs: it maintains provider-neutral folder context and lets Claude Code, Codex, or Gemini work inside the vault, alongside the editor and local file history.

An account is required for beta access, but your vault remains on your machine. When you use AI, Mindex runs the CLI you pick — Claude Code, Codex, or Gemini CLI — and the files or context involved in that request may be sent to that provider under its terms. Mindex does not proxy or store that AI content on its servers.

Mindex drives the agent CLI you already have installed: Claude Code, Codex, or Gemini CLI. It uses your existing subscription, so there are no API keys to paste and no per-token billing from us. You can switch engines without touching your vault — your notes are plain Markdown either way.

Mindex does not currently include cloud sync or a Git client. Because your vault is ordinary files, you can sync or back it up with an external tool you trust.

Just email me — bugs, ideas, requests. Mindex is built by one person, so your feedback goes straight to the source.
