MarkdownDB
A Tana/Mem alternative that is just a folder of Markdown files plus a local app that adds AI-powered semantic search, backlinks, and daily-note workflow.
- Target market
- Obsidian power users wanting AI features without cloud, ex-Mem/Tana users tired of subscriptions, indie devs and writers who want their notes to outlive any single app.
Problem snapshot
What this solves
Mem is $10/mo cloud-only, Tana is cloud-only and pricey, and both lock your notes in proprietary databases. Obsidian users hand-roll AI features with brittle community plugins and no first-class semantic search across their vault.
