About Hillnote

Hillnote is a writing tool that thinks alongside you, rich editing, document linking, and AI working right beside you as you write. Local, private, and yours to keep. Hillnote is where you craft your thoughts in notes, drawings, databases and plans, powered by AI that runs on your device (even when you're offline). No rented database, no lock-in, your work stays yours, even without us. Claude Code, Cowork, Codex, and other agents read, edit, and act on the same files you do, directly, no exports.

About scribe

A single-binary CLI that turns your git repos, coding-agent sessions, and self-sent links into a curated, semantically searchable knowledge base. Cross-project, cron-driven, fully local-capable. scribe turns git history, coding-agent sessions, and saved links into a private markdown wiki your next agent reads before it acts. It runs across projects, on cron, and fully locally on Ollama for zero API spend. Transcript The expensive half of the job was never deciding. Close the terminal, and the fix you just earned is gone.
