Managed SaaS
Knowz Cloud
Start quickly with a managed Knowz workspace, automatic updates, and access from every device.
Knowz operates the application infrastructure while you keep ownership of the knowledge you create.

One knowledge layer. Your choice of where it runs.
Cloud convenience. Local custody. A path between them.
Start managed, run Knowz on infrastructure you control, or combine both. Your deployment can change without making your knowledge disposable.
Your infrastructure
Local
Run a containerized local stack on hardware you control with PostgreSQL and local or compatible storage.
Choose an offline setup, a provider you already trust, or local models through Ollama's OpenAI-compatible interface.
Move when you need to
Hybrid
Use cloud convenience for one workspace and local custody for another without changing the knowledge model.
Versioned export and import paths help knowledge move between supported local and hosted environments.
Local in one guided command
Meet knowz up.
The Knowz CLI checks prerequisites, guides provider selection, starts the containerized local stack, waits for health, and prepares a local profile.
- Choose offline, Azure, Ollama, or OpenAI-compatible setup
- Keep runtime configuration on your machine
- Use the same CLI for lifecycle and knowledge workflows
Terminal
$ npm install -g @knowz/cli
$ knowz up
$ knowz statusDocker is required. Provider credentials are requested only for the provider you choose.
Knowledge where your agents work
One knowledge foundation. More than one interface.
Use focused skills, an open agent protocol, HTTP APIs, or the terminal. Each path reaches the same permission-aware vault model.
Knowz plugin
Bring vault-aware workflows into Codex with focused skills for asking, searching, and capturing knowledge.
/knowz-ask/knowz-search/knowz-saveMCP
Connect MCP-compatible assistants to the same permission-aware knowledge tools instead of rebuilding context per agent.
asksearchcaptureREST API
Build custom capture, search, chat, and automation workflows against documented HTTP contracts.
integrateautomatestreamKnowz CLI
Work from a terminal, bind repositories, manage profiles, and operate a portable local environment.
knowz upknowz searchknowz askPrivate because you have choices—not because you have to trust a slogan.
Choose where Knowz runs, which provider handles eligible AI work, and which supported content remains protected by keys you hold.
Choose the provider
Use Knowz-managed services, configure Azure or another OpenAI-compatible provider, or point supported workloads at Ollama and local models. Capabilities depend on the provider and model you select.
Hold the keys
Client-encrypted content protected with user-held keys is designed to stay unreadable to Knowz and the configured provider until an authorized client decrypts it. You decide when eligible content can be sent for AI processing.
Take knowledge with you
A versioned export and import format preserves supported content, files, relationships, and enrichments when moving across local, SaaS, and hybrid environments—with validation and explicit compatibility boundaries.
Encryption, AI processing, local operation, and export fidelity each have configuration and compatibility boundaries. Knowz documents those boundaries so you can choose the right custody model for each vault.
Why Knowz?
Combines features you'd normally need multiple tools for
Semantic Search
Find things by meaning, not just keywords
Code-Aware
Actually understands code structure via AST parsing
Your Control
You maintain ownership and control of your knowledge
API Access
REST API for custom integrations
AI-Assisted
Automated tagging and summarization without the hassle
All-in-One
Notes, documents, and code in one place
vs. Traditional Note Apps
Better search, understands code, AI automation
vs. Code Search Tools
Also handles documents and personal knowledge
vs. Cloud Services
You control your data, no vendor lock-in
vs. Complex PKM Systems
Simpler, no manual graph building required
Simple Knowledge Management
Capture, organize, and find your information quickly. Works with personal notes, documents, and codebases.
Intelligent Capture
Add text, files, and web content. AI automatically tags, categorizes, summarizes, and extracts key concepts—no manual organizing required.
Useful for: Anyone who captures a lot of information and needs it organized without manual work.
Semantic Search
Search by meaning, not just keywords. Understands context, finds similar content with different wording, and shows related items you might have forgotten.
Useful for: Finding that thing you wrote six months ago when you can only remember the general idea.
AI Chat
Ask questions about your stored knowledge. Get answers pulled from your actual content with source references for every answer.
Useful for: When you know the answer is somewhere in your notes but don't want to hunt through files.
Code Search (AST)
Parses code structure using Abstract Syntax Tree analysis. Search by code structure, not just text matching—no more grepping through false positives.
Useful for: Developers who need to search codebases accurately without thousands of irrelevant matches.
Secure & Private
Your data is encrypted and secure. Access from anywhere with multi-device sync. You maintain control of your knowledge.
Useful for: Anyone who needs their knowledge accessible across devices while keeping it secure.
API Access
REST API for custom integrations. Build your own workflows and connect Knowz to your existing tools.
Useful for: Developers and power users who want to integrate Knowz into their existing workflows.
