What is it?

EdgeEver is a self-hostable notes and knowledge base workspace that keeps a classic three-pane layout of notebook tree, note list, and editor. Notes are edited in a rich-text WYSIWYG editor that can switch to raw Markdown, and content is stored in three forms: a TipTap document, Markdown, and plain text for full-text search.

The app can run entirely on Cloudflare's free tier using Workers, D1, and R2, or be deployed with Docker on a VPS, NAS, or home server using SQLite with local or S3-compatible attachment storage. Web, PWA, desktop (Electron), Android, iOS, and browser clipper extensions for Chrome, Edge, and Firefox all sync through the same backend, with offline editing and an upload queue.

EdgeEver includes a remote MCP endpoint and REST API so external AI agents can create and manage notes, notebooks, tags, and attachments under the account's permissions. It also offers BYOK AI assistance, a plugin API, Evernote, flomo, Memos, and Notion migration guides, and publishing of notebooks as static documentation sites.
