My army of clawed Claudes and Codexes will just have to wait.

outl — local-first markdown outliner & LLM second brain

Open-source bullet-point outliner. Plain markdown on disk (no UUIDs), peer-to-peer tree-CRDT sync that doesn't lose data when devices edit offline — your devices talk straight to each other, end-to-end encrypted, no cloud or third-party server holding your notes — and an MCP server so Claude, Cursor and ChatGPT use your notes as a second brain. A modern Roam, Logseq and Obsidian alternative built in Rust.
