A personal knowledge management tool that grows as you do.

Dendron is a local-first, markdown based, hierarchical note-taking application built on top of VSCode and friends.

Whether you organize your notes with PARA or Zettelkasten, link notes together like roam, or simply create notes in an ad-hoc manner, Dendron can help.

Think of it as a second brain to help you make sense of all the information you care about.

Some potential use cases include:

• project management
• personal knowledge base of things you've learned
• CRM to keep track of clients, friends and enemies
• recipe book

Dendron can be installed as a vscode plugin. If you don't already have VSCode, you can download it here.

After you have downloaded the plugin, following the instructions to create your first workspace.

1. Launch the command bar:

• Linux Ctrl+SHIFT+P
• macOS CMD+SHIFT+P
• Windows Ctrl+SHIFT+P

2. Paste the following command and press Enter:

> Dendron: Initialize Workspace
