Zero to First
Chose Tauri v2 over Electron for native performance. Built with React 19 and Tiptap. Shipped with core Markdown editing, bidirectional [[wikilinks]], backlink panel, and force-directed graph view — all running locally.
Roadmap
Milestones and what is next — quiet visuals, same One Light sensibility as the product.
Prototype Validation
Validated the Mac desktop foundation, local Markdown vault, browser capture, AI summary, graph view, and context pack direction. The product direction is clear: make saving external sources and turning them into useful AI context simple for non-power users.
The Rebuild
Complete rewrite from the ground up. Migrated to SolidJS and pure ProseMirror for better performance, no proprietary wrappers, and a clean foundation for the plugin system. This is the right foundation for everything we are building next.
1.0 Release
Proprietary CTXT distribution with proper upstream notices, local-first vault ownership, Homebrew distribution, and managed service boundaries. Three ways to use: local-only, bring your own services where supported, or use ctxt.im.
Managed Pro
Subscription tier for people who want ctxt.im to manage AI usage, encrypted sync, account controls, and billing in one place. Target $10/month after public beta, once the 1.0 account foundation is ready.
Enhanced Search & Graph
Smarter search that understands meaning, not just exact words. The goal is to make saved sources, notes, and projects easier to rediscover without adding setup work.
Sync & Mobile
Encrypted sync through ctxt.im, native iOS and Android capture surfaces, and clearer conflict recovery while preserving the Mac vault as the primary home.
Extension Ecosystem
Public plugin SDK with full documentation. Community plugin marketplace. Real-time collaboration extensions become possible. Web clipper for capturing content. AI Memory Sharing — let other AI assistants access your knowledge base through a secure, local API.
Team Second Brain
Team workspaces will let members share second brain context: docs, decisions, backlinks, and AI-ready memory grounded in the same vault. The planned Team plan is $15 per seat/month after personal Pro stabilizes.
