Your notes, bookmarks
and journals
quietly become
a personal wiki.
Drop in everything you've already written — Day One journals, Apple Notes, saved articles, Obsidian folders, bookmarks, voice transcripts. Emupedia reads it all, writes articles, connects the ideas, and keeps the whole thing tidy as you add more.
Free. No account. Nothing leaves your machine unless you ask it to.

Chapter One
What you can feed it.
You probably have years of notes scattered across a dozen apps. Emupedia reads them all as one pile — no migration, no copying, no cleanup first.

no cleanup
Messy is fine. It's expecting messy.
Half-finished thoughts, duplicates, old emails to yourself — Emupedia reads the mess and sorts it into something coherent, without deleting anything.
private
None of it leaves your computer.
All the reading, writing, and organizing happens on your machine. There's no sign-in, no upload, no "syncing to cloud." Just a quiet folder on your disk.
Chapter Two
What Emupedia actually does with it.
Think of it as a quiet librarian working in a room behind your notes. It reads everything you've written, groups related ideas, and writes articles that link to each other — the same way Wikipedia does, but only about your life.
01
Reads everything
It opens each note, bookmark and transcript, one by one, and figures out what it's actually about.
02
Finds the connections
Mentioned your grandmother in 14 different places? It knows. Writing around the same idea for years? It sees the thread.
03
Writes readable articles
Every topic that shows up more than once becomes its own short article, with links to every note that mentions it.
04
Keeps tidying
Over time, rough drafts become clearer. Duplicates merge. Weak pages get rewritten. The archive improves without you.

You started keeping a starter in March 2022. The routine stuck after the trip to Kyoto, where you wrote about the bakery on Teramachi three times in one week.
Common themes across your entries: hydration ratios, Margaret's recipe, and the word patience, which appears in 9 of 14 entries about baking.

Chapter Three
And it tidies up after itself.
Most tools just keep collecting. After a year, you have a graveyard of half-useful stuff you can't search through. Emupedia works the other way — the more you add, the neater it gets.
- → Rough pages get rewritten. When enough new material arrives, weak articles are redrafted from the source.
- → Duplicates merge themselves. Two articles about the same thing? They quietly become one, keeping every link.
- → Broken connections get fixed. Renamed a note? Deleted one? Emupedia notices and patches the links.
- → You can always roll it back. Your original notes never change. If you don't like an article, throw it out and rebuild.
