This is the ground-floor setup for quality output — works offline on 16 GB RAM. A single 4B model for both stages works if you're just getting started.\n\n---","github_created_at":"2026-05-15T02:40:05+00:00","created_at":"2026-07-15T11:00:51.195901+00:00","updated_at":"2026-09-20T05:06:13.228383+00:00","categories":[{"slug":"developer-tools","name":"Developer Tools","url":"https://www.graphcanon.com/categories/developer-tools","markdown_url":"https://www.graphcanon.com/categories/developer-tools.md","api_url":"https://www.graphcanon.com/api/graphcanon/categories/developer-tools"},{"slug":"llm-frameworks","name":"LLM Frameworks","url":"https://www.graphcanon.com/categories/llm-frameworks","markdown_url":"https://www.graphcanon.com/categories/llm-frameworks.md","api_url":"https://www.graphcanon.com/api/graphcanon/categories/llm-frameworks"}],"tags":[{"slug":"git-based-wiki","name":"git-based-wiki"},{"slug":"knowledge-base","name":"knowledge-base"},{"slug":"llm-knowledge-base","name":"llm-knowledge-base"},{"slug":"llm-tools","name":"llm-tools"},{"slug":"local-first-ai","name":"local-first-ai"},{"slug":"markdown-wiki","name":"markdown-wiki"},{"slug":"obsidian","name":"obsidian"},{"slug":"personal-knowledge-management","name":"personal-knowledge-management"}],"trust":{"provenance":{"is_fork":false,"github_id":1239358196,"owner_type":"User","methodology":"github_public_v1","parent_repo":null,"near_duplicate_slugs":[]},"computed_at":"2026-09-20T05:06:10.454Z","maintenance":{"label":"Active","score":82,"methodology":"github_public_v1","releases_90d":4,"days_since_push":17,"last_release_at":"2026-07-20T19:48:22Z","stars_delta_30d":25,"open_issues_delta_30d":0},"security_summary":{"status":"no_lockfile","scanner":null,"low_count":0,"high_count":0,"last_scan_at":"2026-07-15T11:00:52.594Z","medium_count":0,"scan_profile":"none","critical_count":0}},"capability_facts":{"scan":{"source":"repo_scan","observed_at":"2026-09-20T05:06:11.481Z"},"has_cli":{"value":true,"source":"pyproject.toml:[project.scripts]","observed_at":"2026-09-20T05:06:11.481Z"},"languages":{"value":["python"],"source":"github.language+pyproject.toml","observed_at":"2026-09-20T05:06:11.481Z"},"license_spdx":{"value":"MIT","source":"github.license","observed_at":"2026-09-20T05:06:11.481Z"}},"decision_facts":{"hosting":null,"pricing":{"model":"freemium"},"requirements":{"min_ram_gb":2,"requires_docker":false},"constraints":{"min_ram_gb":2,"pricing_model":"freemium","requires_docker":false},"when_to_use":["When you prefer to keep all your personal notes and insights strictly on your device without any cloud involvement.","For Obsidian wiki enhancement where the tool autonomously extracts concepts from markdown files and auto-links related entries.","If you require a self-hosted alternative to RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) systems, aiming for local-only LLM functionalities."],"when_not_to_use":["When you need cloud-based backup or sharing features across devices that support collaborative editing off-site.","If your workflow requires real-time synchronization and collaboration capabilities beyond a single device environment.","For teams looking to integrate their Obsidian wikis with external knowledge bases, as Synto focuses solely on local data."],"source":"enrich:decision_facts","observed_at":"2026-07-17T10:26:35.014Z"},"constraint_facets":{"min_ram_gb":2,"pricing_model":"freemium","requires_docker":false},"decision_summary":[{"label":"Pricing","value":"freemium"},{"label":"Requirements","value":"Min 2 GB RAM"},{"label":"Adopt for","value":"Synto is an AI-powered markdown note management system for Obsidian users who prioritize local-first operations and personal knowledge management with zero online data sharing."},{"label":"License detail","value":"MIT"}]}}
