## What it is
MindForger is a desktop personal knowledge management tool that combines a thinking notebook with a full-featured Markdown editor/IDE. It mimics human memory through associations, recall, and knowledge mining, with optional OpenAI LLM integration, while keeping data local and private.

## Use cases
- take and organize personal notes in markdown
- manage a personal knowledge base with associations
- outline and structure research notes
- edit markdown files with preview and math support
- search and link related notes automatically
- keep private notes offline with full data ownership
- prepare exam or study notes

## When to avoid
- you need cloud-synced collaborative notes
- you want a mobile or web-based note app
- you need a lightweight plain text editor without knowledge features
