Reor is a local AI knowledge management application that stores, links, and searches personal notes using large language models and vector embeddings entirely on the user's device. It functions as a private AI note assistant, keeping all data and processing local for full privacy without relying on external cloud services.
The application integrates with Ollama to manage the lifecycle of local LLMs and embedding models, handling downloads, updates, and execution. Notes are imported from markdown files, preserving existing file structure, and are automatically linked through vector-similarity comparisons that surface semantic connections without manual tagging. Users can search their note corpus by meaning rather than exact keywords, and ask natural language questions that retrieve relevant passages and generate answers using the local LLM.
Reor also provides an OpenAI-compatible API bridge, allowing users to optionally connect to external AI services as an alternative to local models. The embedding pipeline runs entirely on the machine, computing and storing vector representations locally to ensure data never leaves the device.
