What to expect from an ideal product

1. Koru is built natively in Rust, so it starts fast, runs light, and never eats your RAM the way Electron note apps like Obsidian or Notion do.
2. Your AI agents connect to Koru over MCP and can read, write, and organize your notes and tasks without any manual copy-paste workflow.
3. Everything works offline by default, and your data syncs peer-to-peer with end-to-end encryption, so no company server ever touches your files.
4. Koru replaces a scattered stack of note apps, document editors, and task managers with one open source workspace you can self-host or run locally.
5. Because Koru is free and open source, you can audit the code, contribute fixes, and avoid the subscription lock-in that comes with most AI-ready productivity tools.
