Active·★ 0·Apache-2.0·Updated 2026-06-22

Flywheel is a local-first memory layer for AI agents that works with Obsidian and plain Markdown. It provides grounded search across your notes, safe reversible writes, and local indexes that keep your data on your machine. Built for users who want AI to interact with their notes without sending data to the cloud.
