About Grimoire

Grimoire is a wiki studio built to run entirely on your own machine against a folder of Markdown. The Library view is a CodeMirror editor with wikilink autocomplete and live backlinks. Three graph views — Brain, Connections, and Atlas — show the shape of what you have written. A Curator surfaces eight kinds of recommendation and runs the schema validator in place. The Capture view pulls things in: drag and drop, PDF text extraction, and a URL clipper that strips a page to its readable article. Nothing leaves the machine.

Who it's for

Anyone keeping a serious personal wiki who wants tooling without handing it to a service.

What it does

  • CodeMirror editor with wikilink autocomplete and backlinks
  • Brain, Connections, and Atlas graph views
  • Curator with eight recommendation kinds and a schema validator
  • Capture: drag-and-drop, PDF extraction, readable URL clipper
  • YouTube caption ingest and a command palette
  • Local-only by design — one process, no cloud

Behind the build

Local-only is the point, not a limitation waiting to be fixed — it reads and writes a real folder on disk, which is exactly why it is not something you can host.

The design brief was 'illuminated scriptorium': warm ink, gold and sage, serif display type. Explicitly not a generic dashboard, because the thing it edits is not generic either.
