Available now · Knowledge Mapping

Graph View: Follow the thinking.

Discover how your ideas connect across thousands of notes. Synkk constructs an interactive 2D physics-based force graph of all your [[wikilinks]] and tags. Inspect clusters, search for hidden connections, filter orphan notes, and click any node to jump straight into editing.

  • Force-directed physics map: Smooth canvas simulation of relationships and note links.
  • Interactive inspection: Zoom, drag, and search nodes with instant cluster highlights.
  • Direct jump to editor: Click any node to open the underlying Markdown note immediately.

Available now · Team Access Control

Set the boundary before you share.

Traditional sync forces you into all-or-nothing sharing. Synkk gives you surgical control with a granular per-path permission matrix. Keep Private/** notes hidden, share Client/** as read-only, and collaborate on Projects/** with full read-write access.

  • Per-member path rules: Assign Read, Write, or Hidden access per team member.
  • Inheritance & overrides: Subdirectories inherit parent rules with specific exceptions.
  • Zero leaks: Hidden paths are stripped from manifests before reaching untrusted devices.

Available now · Safety Shield

Safety Shield: No note is ever silently lost.

Other sync tools risk catastrophic data loss when mass deletions or stale sync collisions happen. Synkk includes Safety Shield: a deterministic guard that halts any sync attempting to delete more than 10% of your notes until you confirm it.

  • 10% Deletion threshold guard: Aborts destructive mass wipes with a safe one-time manual override.
  • Pre-mutation snapshots: Files are backed up locally to .synkk/snapshots/ before remote overwrites.
  • Conflict fork preservation: Concurrent edits fork to .sync-conflict-[timestamp].md instead of clobbering.
  • Cryptographic fingerprinting: Every revision is verified using full SHA-256 content hashes.

Ask your vault anything. Keep thoughts confidential.

Turn your personal knowledge base into an autonomous research assistant. Query your vault with deterministic 128-dimension hypersphere embeddings or local Ollama—traversing bidirectional wikilinks with verified citations and zero third-party API exposure.

  • Graph-augmented retrieval: Traverses connected notes ([[wikilinks]]) to pull surrounding context.
  • Verified fact citations: Every answer links to the exact note name, section, and line numbers.
  • 100% Offline embeddings: Sublinear TF-IDF character hashing works with zero API costs.

06 / The Moonshot Architecture

The Synkk Moonshot Engine

Beyond simple file synchronization. Four breakthrough systems engineered to eliminate sync friction, prevent data loss, scale team collaboration, and guarantee uncompromising data sovereignty.

01 REAL-TIME MULTIPLAYER CRDT (Yjs)
LIVE IN V1.0

Two users typing in the exact same .md note simultaneously without Git merge hell.

Traditional sync engines force last-write-wins overwrites or leave ugly Git conflict markers that corrupt your Markdown. Synkk's CRDT engine integrates Yjs binary state vectors to merge concurrent keystrokes deterministically at the sub-character level.

  • Zero Merge Hell: Eliminates <<<<<<< HEAD conflict markers forever.
  • Real-Time Remote Cursors: Live multi-caret awareness across desktop, mobile, and web.
  • Offline-First Resilience: Edit without internet; changes converge smoothly upon reconnect.

02 INSTANT ZERO-CONFIG MOBILE ONBOARDING
LIVE IN V1.0

Scan a single QR code on the Synkk web dashboard to link iOS/Android in 2 seconds.

No more tedious typing of server URLs, port numbers, long device tokens, or complex base64 keys on touchscreen keyboards. Synkk generates a secure, instant-pairing QR code on your dashboard that auto-provisions iOS and Android devices in one camera scan.

  • 2-Second Pairing: Auto-configures Server API URL, Device Token, and Vault slug.
  • Cross-Platform Support: One-tap connect for iPhone, iPad, and Android devices.
  • Cryptographic Safety: Scoped, revocable device tokens with remote wipe capability.

03 AGENTIC KNOWLEDGE GRAPH & RAG SERVER
FUTURE HORIZON

Self-hosted vector embeddings & local LLM chat answering questions from your vault.

Transform your static notes into an active reasoning engine. Synkk pairs your 2D [[wikilink]] knowledge graph with local vector embeddings. Run private LLM queries with Ollama or vLLM directly over your notes without exposing proprietary knowledge to third-party AI APIs.

  • Graph-Augmented RAG: Traverses note backlinks to retrieve deeply connected contextual memory.
  • 100% Private Embeddings: Local vector generation ensures zero confidential vault leaks.
  • Agentic Retrieval: Synthesizes verified answers with exact line and note citations.

Synkk enforces path-level ACLs per member and verifies every revision with SHA-256 checksums before accepting writes. Confidential secrets are caught by in-app DLP scanning.

04 ZERO-KNOWLEDGE TEAM E2EE (CLIENT-SIDE ENCRYPTION)
LIVE IN V1.0

Server stores encrypted blobs; web viewer decrypts via WebAssembly/WebCrypto.

Maximum cryptographic privacy for regulated and security-sensitive teams. Files are encrypted on your device using AES-256-GCM before transmission. The Synkk server only ever sees opaque ciphertext blobs, while the web workspace decrypts files locally in your browser memory via WebAssembly.

  • Zero Server Knowledge: Plaintext notes and encryption keys never touch server disks.
  • WebAssembly Decryptor: High-performance client-side decryption right in your browser.
  • Team Key Governance: Asymmetric key exchange protocols for secure multi-seat sharing.

Enterprise Vault Protection

Enterprise privacy on infrastructure you own.

Every note and attachment is encrypted on your client device using 256-bit AES-GCM with PBKDF2 key derivation before transmission. The Synkk server only ever sees opaque ciphertext blobs. In-app DLP scanning intercepts leaked OpenAI tokens or AWS credentials in real time before they leave your machine.

  • Client-Side AES-256-GCM: 100,000 PBKDF2 iterations ensure master keys never touch server disks.
  • High-Entropy DLP Secret Scanner: Catches leaked AWS, GitHub, Slack, and OpenAI keys instantly.
  • 1-Click Fleet Remote Wipe: Revoke compromised device tokens and trigger automatic local vault purge.

09 / Before you install

Clear answers before you sync.

The public plugin, current product, and future roadmap are labelled separately so you can choose the right starting point.

01What can I install today?

The Obsidian plugin v1.0.0 is public on GitHub. The Synkk web product currently provides authenticated sync, the editor, Graph View, member path permissions, versions, and restores.

02Does Synkk replace my Markdown files?

No. Your vault remains portable files and folders. Synkk adds controlled sync, access, and recovery around the notes you own.

03Is character-level CRDT sync available?

Yes. Synkk provides real-time character-level CRDT multiplayer editing powered by Yjs over Laravel Reverb, featuring remote cursor awareness, shared undo history, and offline convergence across both the web editor and Obsidian.

04When does the $79 commercial license checkout open?

After the public server package, Lemon Squeezy and AppSumo checkout flows, and license activation screens are verified end to end. Until then, the page does not accept payment.

05Can I self-host Synkk?

Yes. Synkk Community is 100% free and open-source on GitHub. You can self-host using single-command Docker Compose on your own VPS or homelab hardware.

06What happens when two devices edit the same note?

Synkk features an in-editor visual 3-way diff sandbox for side-by-side note reconciliation, as well as real-time character-level CRDT multiplayer synchronization across web and Obsidian.

07Can I sync only selected folders?

Yes. The plugin supports selective folder and configuration rules, plus on-demand ghost files for large media attachments so mobile devices stay lean and fast.

08Does Synkk read my private vault?

Synkk only receives the files and paths your configured device and team permissions allow. When End-to-End Encryption (E2EE) is enabled, notes and real-time collaboration updates are encrypted and decrypted strictly on your device using WebCrypto AES-256-GCM before transmission, so the server only ever sees opaque ciphertext blobs. For E2EE vaults, server-side search and RAG indexing are disabled to guarantee zero server knowledge.
