About the app

About SilverBullet

SilverBullet is a personal knowledge base that runs entirely on your own hardware. Think of it as a private wiki: write notes in Markdown, link them together, and organize your thoughts without sending anything to a third-party cloud.

Local Markdown storage: Your notes live on your Mac as plain Markdown files, with no hosted SilverBullet account required. Data leaves your Mac only when you enable syncing, sharing, or an external integration.

Works like a wiki: Link notes to each other to build a connected knowledge base. SilverBullet makes it easy to connect related ideas and navigate between them — like a personal Wikipedia that lives on your Mac.

Offline-capable: Once opened in your browser, SilverBullet works even without an internet connection. Install it to your Dock like a native app for instant access.

Keep everything in one place: Write meeting notes, journal entries, task lists, project docs, and reference materials in a single searchable space. Plain Markdown keeps your notes readable by widely available text editors.
