outl — local-first markdown outliner & LLM second brain

outl.app

Open-source local-first outliner with markdown files, peer-to-peer sync via CRDT, end-to-end encryption, and an MCP server for AI integration. A modern alternative to Roam, Logseq, and Obsidian.

why we picked it
outl offers a local-first outliner that stores notes as plain markdown files, ensuring data remains under the user's control. Its peer-to-peer sync uses CRDTs to handle offline edits seamlessly, and the built-in MCP server allows AI assistants to access the notes as a knowledge base. This appeals to those who value privacy, plain text longevity, and tight integration with AI tools.
