About Knowns
Knowns is open source project memory for AI coding assistants and the teams that use them. It keeps a project's tasks, docs, decisions and patterns linked and searchable inside the repository, so that agents and people work from the same state instead of relying on an ungrounded guess.
It is local first, with no hosted account, and is available now as a command line tool plus a local web interface. A developer initializes the repository once, after which commands create tasks with linked source documents, retrieve context packs that include citations and lifecycle state, track time against a task, and run a doctor check that surfaces broken references and stale guidance. The site shows it working alongside Claude Code and Codex, over MCP, and in GitHub Actions, with output formatted for both humans and agents.
The site announces a standalone desktop app as coming, with early access signups open. Developers and teams who use AI coding agents are the intended audience. Knowns is open source and its structured data lists a price of zero, and no paid plans are published.
