Thoughts compound,
knowledge connects.

An open-source knowledge base you install and run yourself. Organize documents and sources into connected knowledge called Context, then connect your AI tools to read and edit it with you.

Why dtxWiki?

Files keep piling up,
but AI always starts from scratch.

Files and notes accumulate across apps, but AI cannot automatically discover your context and past decisions. You end up copy-pasting background materials and re-explaining everything. dtxWiki unifies your scattered materials and past work into a single Context, allowing AI to read it and carry it forward.

Using AI and Docs SeparatelyUsing dtxWiki
SeparatelyFiles and decisions are fragmented across apps and folders, making them hard to rediscover.
TogetherUnify them into a connected Context to reuse as background for your next tasks.
SeparatelyEvery new AI chat requires re-explaining the same background, requirements, and constraints.
TogetherHumans and AI collaborate directly while reading the same Context.
SeparatelyYou cannot see what references the AI consulted or what steps it executed behind the scenes.
TogetherInspect exactly what was searched, read, and modified transparently in Chats.

Connected Knowledge

Beyond the document,
see knowledge in context.

As you capture your thoughts, referenced notes, cited sources, and related readings link together automatically. Understand the broader picture at a glance without building complex graph setups.

Shared Knowledge

Inside one unified knowledge base,
humans and AI build together.

Connect your favorite AI tools to dtxWiki via open-standard MCP* (Model Context Protocol). AI can search and read Context written by humans, and author or edit notes within permitted boundaries.

*What is MCP?An open standard protocol that connects AI tools to discover, read, and write knowledge in dtxWiki.

Transparent AI Collaboration

See what was searched, read, and edited
with complete transparency.

Request work in your connected AI tool. Chats shows what the AI searched, read, and edited in dtxWiki.

Self-Hosted Knowledge Base

Know where your data lives,
and choose with confidence.

dtxWiki runs in environments you manage directly. Storage destinations and external AI connection scopes will be clearly documented upon public release.

Install in your environment

Choose the installer or CLI package that fits your operating system on Windows, macOS, or Linux.

Transparent AI data boundaries

When connecting AI tools, only explicitly permitted contexts are shared with external providers.

Clear and open roadmap

Supported features, known limitations, and release updates remain publicly accessible at all times.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions.

What is dtxWiki?

dtxWiki is an open-source knowledge base that connects documents, decisions, and past work. Humans and AI read and modify the same Context together.

Can I install it right now?

Release packages are currently in preparation. Once verified, download buttons for Windows, macOS, and Linux will be activated on this page.

How do I get started on Windows, macOS, and Linux?

Detailed installer downloads and Linux npm package setup instructions will be published upon release.

Does the GitHub source match the installable version?

Source code and releases for the next Beta will be published with the installers and npm package. Follow preparation progress on GitHub.

Can I connect my current AI tools?

Yes. Any AI tool supporting MCP (Model Context Protocol), such as Claude Desktop or Cursor, can connect to dtxWiki to find, read, and propose changes within permitted scopes.

Does Chats record entire chat conversations?

No. Chats does not store raw dialogue logs. It only records tool execution steps performed on dtxWiki, such as searching, reading, and editing Context.

Where is my data stored, and what is sent externally?

dtxWiki can run in your own self-managed environment. When you connect external AI providers, only content within your explicitly permitted scope is sent to that AI service.

Can I use it with my team?

Teams can share the same knowledge base. Invitations, access controls, and sharing supported in the next Beta will be detailed in the release notes.

Can I use dtxWiki for commercial purposes? (Cost & License)

Yes. dtxWiki is free, open-source software licensed under Apache-2.0. You are free to use it for personal, academic, and commercial purposes with no software licensing fees.

Are there features still in preparation for Beta?

Yes. Features labeled 'Preview' are still in development. The next Beta focuses on building knowledge in Context, collaborating with AI, and reviewing AI actions in Chats.

Use Cases

From learning to projects,
knowledge powers every next step.

Not just for software teams. Anyone building long-term, compounding projects can leverage the exact same workflow.
