Kept: A local-first tool that saves AI chats as Markdown files with search and knowledge graph
By
Tibor Takács
Half-baked but well-meaning. A passing snack.
Summary
Kept is a local-first tool that automatically captures and saves AI conversations from ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and Kimi as Obsidian-compatible Markdown files on the user's own machine. It offers full-text search, a 3D knowledge graph, a local Agent, and BYOK support, all under an MIT license — eliminating reliance on vendor UIs and cloud storage for chat history.
Key quotes
· 4 pulledEvery brainstorm, every breakthrough, every good prompt I had with ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or Grok lives inside a vendor UI. A week later I cannot find it.
Kept captures my AI conversations the moment they happen and saves them on my own machine, where I can search them, link them, and build on them.
Built-in Agent runs over your own vault, not a cloud index
