Minne is a self-hosted, graph-powered personal knowledge management solution that stores content, reveals connections, and enables AI-assisted discovery. It combines a fast Rust backend with server-side rendering and HTMX for snappy interactions, a visual knowledge graph for exploring relationships, and hybrid retrieval that combines vector similarity with full-text search.

Key Features

  • Fast Rust backend with server-side rendering and HTMX for snappy interactions
  • Search and chat AI for content discovery
  • Knowledge graph with automatic and manual relationship curation
  • Hybrid retrieval: vector similarity and full-text search
  • Multi-format ingestion: text, URLs, PDFs, audio, and images
  • Self-hosted: your data on your server and compatible with OpenAI-like APIs
  • Live demo available

Use Cases

  • Personal knowledge management and research notes with AI-assisted discovery
  • Read-it-later style collection with semantic linking
  • Ingest documents (PDFs, URLs) and media for later retrieval

Conclusion Minne provides a privacy-first, self-hosted platform for organizing knowledge with AI-assisted discovery and visual exploration. It is well suited for personal knowledge management, research notes, and data-rich reading collections.
