Description

Kuku is an innovative note-taking and knowledge management application designed for macOS, seamlessly integrating a simple Markdown editor with cutting-edge AI features while ensuring your files remain in plain .md format on your device, thus allowing compatibility with editors like vim, enabling version control through git, and avoiding dependency on cloud providers. The app facilitates bidirectional linking, complete with autocompletion and a backlinks panel to enhance the connection between your thoughts, alongside a graphical representation to visualize the interrelations among your notes. Furthermore, it boasts an AI assistant powered by Gemini that can search within your local vault, read documents, summarize content, and provide options to create or modify files, showcasing suggested edits in a cursor-style preview that allows for easy acceptance or rejection of changes. Kuku enhances productivity with local Whisper speech-to-text functionality for offline audio transcription, employs a rapid full-text search system using SQLite FTS5 with BM25 ranking, and features a native performance profile developed on Tauri, resulting in a compact installation and minimal memory consumption, free from the bloat often associated with Electron applications. Additionally, Kuku’s user-friendly interface ensures that both novice and experienced users can navigate its features effortlessly, making it a versatile tool for personal and professional use.

Description

To be candid, Mac applications seem to be fading into obscurity. While there are valid motivations for developing cross-platform applications — primarily their versatility — it doesn't align with our core identity. Established as a Mac software developer in 1997, the team at Panic finds joy in creating products that embody the essence of Mac. Many years ago, we introduced Coda, a groundbreaking all-in-one web editor specifically for Mac users. However, as we began developing Nova, we reassessed the current landscape of the web and recognized the need for a new beginning. Hence, our journey commenced with a top-tier text editor that is not only brand new but also incredibly fast and adaptable, packed with all the essential features like intelligent autocomplete, multiple cursors, a Minimap, editor overscroll, and tag pairs and brackets, among many others. For those interested, Nova offers integrated support for a variety of languages including CoffeeScript, CSS, Diff, ERB, Haml, HTML, INI, JavaScript, JSON, JSX, Less, Lua, Markdown, Perl, PHP, Python, Ruby, Sass, SCSS, Smarty, SQL, TSX, TypeScript, XML, and YAML. This extensive support ensures that developers have the tools they need to work efficiently and effectively across multiple programming languages.
