Minerva

A desktop workspace for thinking and building with AI.

The best thinking you do with an AI vanishes into a scroll of throwaway conversations — unsourced, unstructured, impossible to build on. Minerva is where that work lands and stays: knowledge you can check, connect, and keep. You and the AI build it together — with you fully in control.

Minerva is a local-first desktop app (Electron · Svelte 5 · TypeScript). Your notes are plain markdown files on your disk, backed by an automatically maintained knowledge graph.
