OpenKnowledge – open source AI-first alternative to Obsidian/Notion

Hi HN, Nick here. We’re launching OpenKnowledge ( https://openknowledge.ai/ ), a “what you see is what you get” markdown editor that has direct integrations with Claude, Codex, and other agents. Available as MacOS app or Web UI+CLI. Fully free/local and OSS. We built this because we wanted a Notion-like experience for writing and sharing markdown files across our team. Obsidian is the best alternative we tried, but found it doesn’t have a true WYSWIG UI and it didn’t integrate well with Claude/C... (381 points, 173 comments).

Cursor for iOS

Adrafinil – keep a lid-closed Mac awake only while agents work

124 pts

A month ago there was a wave of posts and tweets about engineers walking around cafes and parks with their MacBooks propped half-open, as fully closing the lid forces sleep that stops their AI agents. Some people made snarky comments about using tmux or Amphetamine, and some defended their choice with “but I only need it sometimes, and forgetting to disable Amphetamine and finding my laptop discharged in my bag is worse.” This is a solution to this problem. Unlike caffeinate, it will prevent you... (124 points, 79 comments).
