Koru is a free, open source workspace for your notes, documents, files and tasks, and your AI agents can read and edit them over MCP. Not another Electron app: it's built natively in Rust for Windows, macOS and Linux, works offline, and syncs peer-to-peer with end-to-end encryption.

What to expect from an ideal product

  1. Koru is a free, open source note-taking app built natively in Rust, so it runs fast on Windows, macOS and Linux without the memory bloat of Electron apps.
  2. Your notes, documents, files and tasks live in one offline-first workspace that syncs peer-to-peer with end-to-end encryption, no cloud subscription required.
  3. AI agents can read and edit your notes directly through MCP, making Koru one of the few note-taking tools built from the ground up for agentic workflows.
  4. Because Koru is open source, you own your data completely and can audit exactly how your files are stored, synced and accessed.
  5. If you have been looking for a Notion or Obsidian alternative that works offline, costs nothing and lets AI agents operate inside your workspace, Koru covers all three.
