WHAT CHONKERS DOES

An AI cat who actually reads your notes.

Not a chatbot bolted on the side — Chonkers lives in your vault and works across all of it.

Reads across everything

Ask about any note and Chonkers searches your whole vault — not just the one you have open.

Pulls out your tasks

He spots the to-dos buried in your writing and files them into a running checklist.

Remembers who you are

A persistent memory of your projects, people, and preferences — like Claude Code, for your notes.

Groups your notes

Right-click to file notes into groups, the same way you'd organize projects.

Tidy

Brain-dumped a mess? One click turns cat-scratch into clean, readable Markdown.

Your key, your call

Bring your own Claude key and it's free, forever. Local-first — your notes never leave your Mac.

BUILT IN PUBLIC

Watch the cat grow up.

Every release and half-baked idea ships in the open. Star the repo, follow along, or fork it and raise your own cat.
