Kompas AI

Kompas offers several key features. It allows you to capture documents, highlights, voice notes, and web pages. You can start a session on a topic and think it through with Kompas, which pulls in your past notes and decisions to ask better questions. Each session leaves traces that connect to what you wrote before, creating a graph of your thoughts. You can move a session into a draft, and your past work appears when it helps. Your data stays yours: the free desktop version keeps everything local, and Pro adds private hosted sync. The code is open source under MIT, and you can export everything to JSON.

Kompas is for people who want their ideas to grow, not just be saved. Essayists can use it for drafts that carry their own argument, not the model's. Researchers can engage in continuous thinking that grows ideas and reveals connections between concepts. Founders can track decisions they've made before and the reasons behind them. Users of Obsidian and Logseq can go beyond collecting material and build on it to extend their own thinking. Kompas helps you write with your own thoughts, remembering what you already wrote so you can use it well.

Kompas has three pricing tiers. The Free plan costs $0 forever and includes unlimited local sessions, library, writing, and graph. You bring your own OpenAI or Anthropic API key, use your Claude Code or Codex subscription, or run local models via Ollama. It is available on macOS and Windows, with single-device use. Pro Sync costs $3 per month or $30 per year, adding cross-device sync and 5 GB soft / 10 GB hard hosted graph storage. Pro Full costs $38 per month or $33 per month billed annually, including everything in Free and Pro Sync plus built-in frontier AI, no API key required, with included AI usage and optional top-ups. Pro Full has a 7-day free trial.
