OpenWiki is an open-source desktop AI knowledge management tool for macOS and Windows that turns what you copy into a personal, searchable wiki. Capture anything from your clipboard, let the app organize it into structured knowledge, and get AI-generated insights back out of your own collection. It is built with Tauri, Rust and React, and it is hosted on GitHub, where it has earned roughly 645 stars, with active releases in 2026.
Useful information slips away because capturing it properly takes effort โ you copy a paragraph, a link or a snippet, and it disappears into scattered notes. OpenWiki lowers that friction to nearly zero: copying content is the capture gesture, and the app stores it locally in SQLite, structures it into a personal wiki you can browse, and applies AI to surface summaries and insights from what you have collected. Because it is a native desktop app built on Tauri and Rust, it stays light and fast, and your knowledge base lives on your own machine rather than in someone else’s cloud. The project site at openwiki.pages.dev introduces the app and links to releases.
OpenWiki is free and open source under the MIT license. There is no subscription or paid tier โ you download the app and run it on your own computer.
OpenWiki is for researchers, writers, developers and heavy readers who constantly clip useful fragments and want them organized into a searchable, AI-enhanced personal wiki instead of a forgotten pile of notes.
