pendingby Andrew Zhang
Hybrid Brain copilot for audio transcription and text refinement.
NoteWise (智记) - Your AI Wisdom Copilot
NoteWise (智记) is an intelligent Obsidian plugin designed to be your Privacy-First Thought Partner. It captures your voice, refines your fragmented ideas into structured notes, and helps you organize your life with local AI wisdom.
🔒 Privacy & Open Source Philosophy
We believe your thoughts belong to you. In an era of cloud-first gathering, NoteWise stands for Data Sovereignty.
- Offline First: All audio processing and text refinement can run entirely on your local machine.
- No Vendor Lock-in: You choose the brain. Connect to Ollama, Dify, or private LLMs.
- Secure: Your data never leaves your "HomeNet" unless you explicitly choose a cloud provider.
The HomeNet Vision
NoteWise is the entry point to the HomeNet Project — an initiative to build a self-reliant, intelligent digital home. It acts as the neural link between your spontaneous thoughts and your HomeNet Brain (Knowledge Base).
Whether you are running a high-end server or just a standard laptop, NoteWise empowers you to build a powerful local AI workflow without relying on big tech cloud APIs.
