Dendron is a markdown knowledge management system designed for organizing linked files into a hierarchical personal knowledge base. It functions as a git-backed note manager that stores data as plaintext markdown files to ensure data persistence and ownership.
The system distinguishes itself through schema-based organization, which applies structural templates and autocomplete hints to maintain consistency across large sets of documents. It also provides bi-directional linking and an interactive graph view to visualize relationships between notes, alongside a static site generator that exports private knowledge hierarchies into public websites with granular visibility controls.
The platform covers a broad set of capabilities including hierarchical note organization, automated link refactoring via regular expressions, and content fragment embedding to prevent data duplication. It also supports the rendering of diagrams and mathematical formulas and provides a unified interface for searching and creating entries within a hierarchy.
