4.5

kuku is a native, local-first Markdown editor for macOS that blends distraction-free writing with a powerful, privacy-respecting AI assistant. Designed for writers, developers, researchers, and knowledge workers, kuku lets you draft, edit, and structure content in plain text while keeping your files safely on your own device. Its tool-calling AI can summarize long documents, refactor paragraphs, answer questions from your notes, and even trigger external tools—all without leaving your editor. With diff previews and AI-assisted revisions, you can see exactly what changed between versions, review suggestions line by line, and keep full control over your writing voice. kuku also supports speech-to-text workflows, turning spoken ideas into clean Markdown, and integrates knowledge management features so your documents become a searchable, AI-aware knowledge base. Whether you’re writing docs, blog posts, technical specs, or research notes, kuku streamlines the entire process from first draft to polished output, while keeping performance snappy and your data under your own control.
