KBase

KBase turns every clipped quote, highlight, or idea into a connected research hub for your Mac. Capture in a keystroke, keep context attached, and surface what matters with fast semantic search. Clipboard capture (⇧⌘V) stores any text snippet with its source and optional citation in seconds. Smart annotations track status, tags, and backlinks so nothing slips through review. Semantic search (with your OpenAI key) understands meaning, not just keywords, for accurate recall. Linked notes and the interactive graph reveal relationships across your knowledge base. Obsidian-ready export keeps markdown vaults in sync, complete with wiki-links and colors. Everything lives locally in SwiftData, and advanced features stay optional—no account required. Build a private, trustworthy reference library that’s fast enough to keep up with your research.
