Knovex
Understand it. Learn it. Keep it — on your machine.
The local-first desktop app built on the DOCNEST engine. Chat with your documents, summarize, search, and — with Learn Mode — turn what you read into lessons that stick. Nothing leaves your laptop unless you allow it.
Learn Mode turns your own documents into animated lessons — the difference between looking something up and actually keeping it — running entirely on your machine.

Seeing a Windows "unrecognized app" screen? That's normal. Brand-new open-source apps haven't built a Windows reputation yet, so Windows is cautious the first time. Click More info → Run anyway to install. (Signed, notarized builds are on the way.)
What it does
From document to understanding
Everything you'd want from an AI workspace — without sending your files to the cloud.
Chat with your documents
Ask questions and get grounded answers from the files you loaded — not from the open internet.
Summarize anything
Long reports, papers, and notes condensed to the parts that matter, in a click.
Learn Mode
Turns your knowledge into animated, step-by-step lessons so it actually sticks — not just a Q&A box.
Search & web Learn
Pull in what you need and fold it into your knowledge — kept as a file you own.
Local-first & private
Your documents and answers stay on-device. The app works offline, by design.
Keeps a .udf you own
What you learn is saved as an open, portable knowledge file — yours to keep and re-open anywhere.
The AI inside
Your choice of AI — and it's free
Knovex never charges you, and never locks you to one provider.
Run it free, or bring your own
Run the AI free on your own machine, or connect a provider you already use (OpenAI, Anthropic, Groq, Gemini). Either way, your documents never leave your laptop.
Zero setup — built-in AI
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.
