Tolaria is an open-source, local-first knowledge base application published by refactoring. The software is built around plain Markdown files, meaning that all content is stored in a widely supported, portable text format rather than in a proprietary database. Its local-first design places the user's data directly on their own device, keeping notes accessible without dependence on a remote service. Tolaria belongs to the knowledge management and note-taking software category, and it is suited to use cases such as personal knowledge management, research organization, documentation drafting, and maintaining interconnected collections of notes over time. The application provides block-based editing, which structures note content as individual blocks rather than as a single continuous document, allowing content to be organized and manipulated at a granular level. Note relationships are supported, enabling users to link notes to one another and build a connected network of information rather than isolated documents. Git integration is included, connecting the knowledge base to version control workflows so that changes to the underlying Markdown files can be tracked and managed through Git. Tolaria also offers connections to AI model providers, allowing the application to interface with external AI services as part of the knowledge base environment. The current version of Tolaria is 2027.8.28, and the catalog lists four versions of the software in total, indicating an ongoing release history. As an open-source project, Tolaria makes its source code publicly available, consistent with its emphasis on plain-text storage and user control over data. Its combination of Markdown-based storage, block editing, relational note structures, version control integration, and AI provider connectivity positions it as a knowledge base for users who want their notes to remain local, portable, and integrated with established development-oriented tooling.
