Why it is worth attention

It combines a capture-first daily feed with an LLM-powered wiki, agentic recall, and nightly consolidation – all running against your own API keys, with strict architecture and multi-tenant row-level security.

Who it is for

  • Knowledge workers and note-takers wanting a personal wiki
  • Developers building self-hosted, privacy-preserving knowledge systems
  • Privacy-conscious individuals who control their own LLM keys
  • Users who need offline-first mobile capture with sync

Use cases

  • Quickly capture random ideas via text or voice during the day
  • Automatically distill captured notes into a structured, interlinked wiki
  • Ask natural-language questions over your personal knowledge base
  • Run a nightly consolidation pass to keep the wiki coherent without manual effort

Strengths

  • Capture-first design with near-zero friction for inputting thoughts
  • BYOK (bring your own key) model – never shares credentials with the service
  • Offline-first Flutter app with stub mode for keyless exploration
  • Strict crate-layering law and CI-enforced architecture for maintainability

Considerations

  • Requires you to bring your own LLM API key (no built-in model)
  • Depends on PostgreSQL 16 and Redis 7 for full backend operation
  • Early-stage project – roadmap indicates current focus is clean open-source foundation, not broad provider coverage

README quick start

🧠 QCue

A capture-first “second brain” that turns fleeting thoughts into a living, linked knowledge wiki — powered by your own LLM keys.

English · 简体中文

[!NOTE] BYOK — bring your own key. QCue runs entirely against your own model-provider key. It never ships, brokers, or sees your credentials, and the whole product runs keyless and offline in stub mode so you can explore it in seconds.

QCue is an open-source knowledge, memory, and semantic-recall system. Dump fleeting ideas — typed or spoken — into a fast daily feed; a bring-your-own-key LLM continuously distills that stream into a persistent, interlinked Markdown wiki ([[wikilinks]], an index.md, a log.md) that you can browse, query by recall, and open in any Markdown editor. A nightly Auto-Dream pass keeps the knowledge base coherent.

✨ What is QCue

🎙️ Capture-firstType or speak. Ideas land in an append-only daily feed with zero friction — the cost of capturing a thought should be near zero.
🔗 LLM-wikiA BYOK model distills your feed into a Karpathy-style Markdown wiki of entity / concept / source pages, woven together with [[wikilinks]].
🔎 Agentic recallAsk in natural language. The model generates its own search patterns over full-text search + curated memory and answers from your wiki.
🌙 Auto-DreamA nightly consolidation pass compounds and tidies the wiki — cost-checked before any provider call, with edits proposed through a reversible approve gate.
