Kompas

A desktop and cloud application that gathers reading, conversations, highlights, voice notes and web pages into a connected graph so scattered sessions and half-formed ideas compound into usable writing instead of being lost. It sells to individual consumers, including essayists and researchers, who want to develop personal thinking into original drafts. It is delivered as a free local-first open-source desktop app where users bring their own AI keys or run local models, with a paid cloud option that adds cross-device sync and built-in AI.
