Meet Your New Writing Partner
Ever wished your Markdown editor could anticipate your needs? That's Kuku in a nutshell – a macOS-native writing environment where your words meet AI intelligence without sacrificing privacy or control.
Why Writers Are Falling Hard for Kuku
Thought-Connecting Superpowers
- Bidirectional linking works like magic – start typing
[[and watch as Kuku suggests relevant connections before you finish typing - The force-directed graph view transforms your document web into an interactive playground – drag nodes to uncover hidden relationships
- SQLite FTS5 search digs through your notes faster than you can say "where did I write that?"
AI That Actually Helps (Without Being Creepy)
Kuku's Gemini-powered assistant respects your workflow:
- Research helper: "Find me all notes about character development from last month"
- Document summarizer: "Give me the key points from this 20-page research paper"
- Writing coach: Subtle editing suggestions appear as diffs – accept changes with ⌘Y or reject with ⌘N
The kicker? Everything happens locally thanks to Tauri 2 Rust backend – no data leaves your machine.
