Cotoami is an open-source knowledge management platform designed to support individuals and teams engaged in creative and intellectual work, with a unique feature connecting knowledge to location information. The first version was released as a web application in 2017 but development paused in 2019; it was rebuilt from scratch and released as a desktop application ('Cotoami Remake') in 2025. It offers Flow and Stock views for organizing input and an experimental WebAssembly-based plugin system that can feed context to LLMs through a knowledge graph.
