Your private knowledge base, hosted in France
A second brain powered by NoteDiscovery, installed and maintained by DINAO. Notes, wiki, and interconnected ideas using the Zettelkasten method stay on our French servers — you keep full control.
What is NoteDiscovery?
NoteDiscovery is a lightweight, self-hosted knowledge base that gives you full control over your notes, wikis, and second brain. With a modern, polished interface, you write, organize, and rediscover your ideas — all on your own server.
The application is built around the Zettelkasten method, a proven system for connecting ideas and building a personal knowledge network. On the editing side, it is very comprehensive: Markdown, LaTeX equations, Mermaid diagrams, an integrated drawing editor for sketches, syntax highlighting, smart tags, and custom templates. An AI assistant is even integrated via MCP.
Open-source under the MIT license and developed by gamosoft, NoteDiscovery deploys easily via Docker. At DINAO, it is hosted on a dedicated instance in France, backed up and kept up to date; the AI assistant can be connected to a local model to remain fully sovereign.
