NEOMASFiles, not a workspace
The vault is Markdown on your disk. Any editor opens it, and ending the subscription never takes it away.
NEOMAS / ALTERNATIVES
Every tool here stores what you know. Neomas is built to give it back.
Each guide compares the real trade-offs — collaboration, local files, customization, platforms — and says plainly where Neomas is the better answer and where it is not.
Compare with Neomas
Neomas vs Notion
Notion is strongest as a shared workspace for documents, databases and projects. Neomas is designed as a personal, local-first memory system on macOS.
→Compare with NeomasNeomas vs Obsidian
Obsidian and Neomas both value local Markdown files. Obsidian favors a highly customizable plugin-based workspace; Neomas packages memory, resurfacing and AI workflows into one opinionated system.
→Compare with NeomasNeomas vs Capacities
Capacities organizes knowledge as connected objects in an offline-first app. Neomas keeps a file-based vault and focuses on memory over time, decisions and personal AI context.
→Compare with NeomasNeomas vs Logseq
Logseq is a privacy-first, open-source knowledge base built around journals, blocks and outlines. Neomas uses a local vault too, with a stronger emphasis on documents, source ingestion and memory that changes with decisions.
→Compare with NeomasNeomas vs Roam Research
Roam Research popularized daily notes, backlinks and block-based networked thought. Neomas keeps the graph but adds a local file vault, source ingestion and explicit memory for decisions and outcomes.
→Why people move to Neomas
Your keys, your models
Bring your own provider keys or run a local model. The AI works for you without routing your knowledge through a vendor you did not choose.
Memory that compounds
Corrections, decisions and outcomes are recorded, and the one that matters comes back on the day it matters.
An exit door, on purpose
Everything stays readable without Neomas. That is the point of these comparisons, not a footnote to them.
