OpenKnowledge Cloud

Desktop app

Sign in to the OpenKnowledge Cloud desktop app and open a brain in its own window.

The OpenKnowledge Cloud desktop app opens the same brains as the browser, each in its own window. It also adds what a browser can't do: syncing a brain to a folder, setting up AI tools on your computer, and the open-knowledge-cloud CLI.

Sign in

  1. Open the app. The first window lists your brains.
  2. Click Log in. Your browser opens with the OpenKnowledge sign-in.
  3. Sign in the same way as on the web. If your browser is already signed in, it asks "Sign in to OpenKnowledge on this computer?"; click Allow.
  4. Back in the app, the footer shows Signed in to OpenKnowledge Cloud, and your brains are listed.

If the browser didn't open, click Open browser again, or Copy link and paste it into your browser.

Open and create brains

  • Click a brain to open it in its own window.
  • Click Create new brain and enter a Brain name to make a new one.

Working offline

Pages you've opened are kept on your computer. When you're offline, a page shows Offline copy, and your edits show Edits waiting to sync until you reconnect. You can't create files or folders, or open pages you haven't opened before, while offline.

Sign out

Click Sign out in the footer of the first window.
