Reor Sam L'Huillier
winget install --id=ReorProject.Reor -e Reor is an AI-powered desktop note-taking app: it automatically links related notes, answers questions on your notes, provides semantic search and can generate AI flashcards. Everything is stored locally and you can edit your notes with an Obsidian-like markdown editor. The hypothesis of the project is that AI tools for thought should run models locally by default. Reor stands on the shoulders of the giants Ollama, Transformers.js & LanceDB to enable both LLMs and embedding models to run locally: 1. Every note you write is chunked and embedded into an internal vector database. 2. Related notes are connected automatically via vector similarity. 3. LLM-powered Q&A does RAG on your corpus of notes. 4. Everything can be searched semantically. One way to think about Reor is as a RAG app with two generators: the LLM and the human. In Q&A mode, the LLM is fed retrieved context from the corpus to help answer a query. Similarly, in editor mode, the human can toggle the sidebar to reveal related notes "retrieved" from the corpus. This is quite a powerful way of "augmenting" your thoughts by cross-referencing ideas in a current note against related ideas from your corpus.
Reor is an AI-powered personal knowledge management app designed to help users organize and augment their thoughts effectively. Built on the principle of local-first AI, Reor enables users to harness the power of large language models (LLMs) and embedding models directly on their devices, ensuring privacy and control over data.
Key Features:
- Automatic Note Linking: Related notes are connected automatically through vector similarity, eliminating the need for manual organization.
- AI-Powered Q&A: Query your notes with natural language questions, leveraging Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) to retrieve relevant context from your corpus.
- Semantic Search: Discover information without recalling exact phrases, enabling more intuitive and efficient searches.
- Obsidian-Like Markdown Editor: Write and format notes using markdown, supported by a WYSIWYG interface for seamless editing.
- Local AI Processing: LLMs, embedding models, and vector databases run entirely on your device, ensuring privacy and offline functionality.
- AI Flashcards: Generate flashcards from your notes to reinforce learning and retention.
Audience & Benefit: Ideal for high-entropy thinkers who need to manage complex ideas and knowledge efficiently, Reor serves as a powerful tool for researchers, writers, students, and professionals. By augmenting human creativity with AI-driven insights, Reor helps users unlock deeper connections in their work, boost productivity, and maintain control over their intellectual property.
Available via winget, Reor empowers individuals to organize their thoughts, ask questions of their knowledge base, and explore ideas with unprecedented ease—all while keeping data private and local.
