Fabled Scribe

A self-hosted second brain and project management application with integrated LLM capabilities. Write, organise, and act on your notes and tasks with the help of a local AI assistant — all running on your own hardware.

Features

Notes and tasks with a Markdown editor, sub-tasks, milestones, and kanban project workspaces. AI chat with streaming responses, RAG over your notes, and tool use (web search, calendar, weather). A daily briefing that digests your tasks, RSS feeds, and weather on a schedule. Knowledge graph, per-user/group sharing, PWA with push notifications, and an MCP server for external AI clients.

Quick Start

Prerequisites: Docker and Docker Compose. 8 GB+ RAM recommended for LLM inference.

Download docker-compose.quickstart.yml from this repo, then:

# Optional but recommended — set a secret key
export SECRET_KEY=your-random-secret-here

docker compose -f docker-compose.quickstart.yml up -d

Open http://localhost:5000. The first user to register becomes admin. Go to Settings → General to pull an LLM model — qwen3:8b or llama3.1:8b are good starting points.

GPU: Ollama runs CPU-only by default. See the comments in docker-compose.quickstart.yml to enable NVIDIA GPU passthrough.

Development: To build from source, see Development.
