About:
Markdown Oxide is a Personal Knowledge Management (PKM) system that operates as a Language Server Protocol (LSP) plugin. It transforms standard Markdown files into a relational database, enabling bi-directional linking, backlinking, and task management directly within your code editor. This provides a robust, developer-friendly alternative to proprietary tools like Obsidian, prioritizing open standards and local-first data ownership.
Key Features:
  • Language Server Protocol (LSP) implementation
  • Bi-directional linking and backlinking
  • Task management and query language
  • Local-first Markdown storage
  • Editor agnostic (via LSP)
Use Cases:
  • Building a personal wiki or second brain
  • Managing technical documentation and notes
  • Task tracking and GTD workflows in a text editor
Alternatives:
  • Obsidian – Obsidian is a feature-rich GUI app, while Markdown Oxide brings similar core PKM features to any editor via a lightweight LSP server.
  • Foam – Foam is a VS Code extension that provides similar linking features, whereas Markdown Oxide is a standalone LSP server that can be used with any LSP-compatible editor.
