Search, chat with, and actually learn from your own documents — fully offline, on the machine you already own. Free and open-source, no account needed.
Knowledge
Eight capabilities — no cloud lock-in, nothing leaving your laptop.
Find the idea behind your words, not just exact keyword matches.
Ask your PDFs, DOCX and notes — every answer cites the page it came from.
Drag in your files and they become a fast, searchable library you own.
Turn what you read into quizzes, flashcards, mind-maps, timelines and stories.
Run the AI free on your own machine, or connect OpenAI, Anthropic, Groq or Gemini.
Your keys and documents are sealed with strong encryption — only you can open them.
Pull the web in via DuckDuckGo, Serper or Brave — only when you ask.
Read inside the app and ask questions in the margin, without losing your place.
Knovex never charges you, and never locks you to one provider.
Run the AI 100% free on your own machine, or plug in a provider you already use (OpenAI, Anthropic, Groq, Gemini). Either way, your documents never leave your laptop.
An upcoming release bundles Keepvidya's own on-device models — Shiva-Chat 1.5B & 7B — so Knovex just works out of the box. No accounts, no keys, nothing to install.
No account. No telemetry. Knovex works with Wi-Fi switched off. The only thing that ever leaves your machine is an LLM call — and only to the provider you chose.
Your knowledge bases and API keys are encrypted at rest. Delete the app and your data is just files you still own.
From download to your first answer in a couple of minutes.
Grab the build for your OS and run the installer.
Run it free on your machine, or paste a provider key. Built-in AI coming soon.
Drag-drop your files — they're indexed on-device.
Ask with sources, or generate learning materials.
